ReplyDeleteShout out to all things German!!! I would especially like to thank the Germans for gummy bears, Albert Einstein, and fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I'm proud tha's truly (almost) German is the little peanut I'm waiting for.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! I just heard about your blog from Aaron Jentzsch and I'm totally excited about it. I'm also an American Mormon living in Germany (Leipzig, your nearby neighbor). I hope you don't mind if I continue reading. I've got two blogs: michelleglauser.blogspot.com and germanyfromanamericanperspective.blogspot.com. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Albert Einstein had such great legs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer about the pancakes--we make those at least twice a month. My kids love them! And FREAK out about David H.! YIKES!!! Why are pics like that allowed on the web?! How are you feeling? Are you getting super excited? How's Jake doing? How long will you guys stay in Germany after the baby is born?
ReplyDeleteEinstein was a genius with awful taste in shoes. I mean, he may as well be wearing Crocs.
