Nothing exciting going on here....

It's been blazing hot these last days, and we've stayed in our wonderfully air conditioned house to escape the heat. I cannot sing enough of how great it is to have a/c. Never will I take it for granted again! For those of you who feel it is commonplace to have the beauty of being comfy all year round, let me assure you that many if not most Germans will tell you that being cool is not a necessity. Ah, but you see, it is not being cool that it is the problem, it's once you get hot and cannot get cool and you start to turn into a horrible, short tempered, griping, sniping....., well, you get the picture. Most places here have not grasped the concept of how wonderful it is to be able to come in out of the heat. So, when you visit someone, or shop at a store, go to a bank, pharmacy, hospital (yes, even there!), you will find the blinds pulled tightly shut, all lights off, and everyone in the house exerting as little energy as possible to avoid becoming hot. It makes for really fun outings, let me tell you!

Anyhow, who cares about all that, I'm sure you just want to get on to the pictures. I actually took these a few days ago, but I wanted to be sure and post them cause they are so cute!


The sweetest smile a mother will ever see!


Siblings...they do get along...sometimes!


I just thought this one was nice of the brothers.
