Shane is 6 Weeks old! and St. Martin's day celebration

Time is going by way too fast. Shane is already 6 weeks old! He feels HUGE. He is starting to hold his head up better and offers up smiles if you try REALLY hard. He even smiled at dad last nightWe had our check up at the Kinderartz in our little town. I took Nick to kindergarden that morning and than walked over to the Doctor's office.

Shane weighed 10.5 lbs and was 15.5 inches tall

I just love feet pictures!

Last weekend Chris emmersed himself in work. His project is almost over - so we are all holding our breathe until than. meanwhile, I am SO thankful to have wonderful friends to cheer me up over the weekend.

This is a photo at a little fest in Farrah's town. She bakes two yummy cakes for the kindergarden bake sale. In germany, the cakes are traditionally not very sweet. So we watched as the german's sampled her Ohy, Gooey, sugar cake and Yummy pumpkin cake (of course we sampled them too - they were the best by far!!)
Shane in my favorite - "hell bent, heaven sent" shirt. A gift from hell raiser Pete Brinkerhoff back in the Nicholas Roy days!

I title this one - "beef cake"

On Wednesday and Thursday Nick participated in the St. Martin's day celebrations. First without knowing it would be so important, we made laterns at a German class on Tuesday with Tate.

On Wednesday night, we took that latern to the little fest in our town. We were 10 minutes late so Nick didn't get to stand and sing with his class (although I doubt he would have 'sung' too much yet) so he was thrilled to be able to stand with us. We figured this was our trail run, so being late was o.k. - next year it might be a little more devistating!!

Just wanted to show you how 'warm' Shane was during the fest.

On Thursday they had a church service. I joined Nick at the church. It was super cute seeing him sitting with his class.

This is a horribly blurry photo of inside the Church here at Neuhausen.

What a big dude!
Hope you all had a great week!
