Dan and Michelle Tebbe - April Snow Showers?

Tuesday, April 08, 2008

Sadly, we said goodbye to Grandma Burson on the 22nd of March, but we're excited to see her (and the rest of the Burson and Tebbe families, along with many other friends!) in just a few months.

Yes, as we head into our last three months here in Germany until we leave for America for an entire year, we have had snow showers the last few days here in Kandern. Of course, the forecast is for sunny and 65 F by the end of the week! "April macht was er will" (April does what it wants to!) is the German saying for this month, apparently. In fact, our "Spring Break" at the end of March was full of beautiful, white...SNOW (see the pics below!). Here are just a few pictures from the last few weeks. Enjoy!

Daddy and Hannah enjoyed playing in the snow several times a day.

Unfortunately, we didn't bring Hannah's snowsuit on our Spring Break vacation,
so Daddy improvised by using duct tape to keep her gloves on
and to keep the snow out of her boots! Is Daddy creative or what?!

We ventured out for one walk during our stay near the Schluchtsee,
but it was so cold and windy that we mainly just remained
inside or near the guesthouse in which we staying.

Hannah's been enjoying "wrestle" time with Daddy and Mommy the last few weeks.

And our little Rachelle is growing by leaps and bounds...
nursing for only about 5 minutes, but going 3.5 hours between feedings.
She's even slept 7 or more hours a night for the last several nights! Wahoo!

Our neighbor boy, Sven, is Hannah's favorite playmate (even though he's 13 years older than her!).
He's also very good at holding Rachelle and rocking her to sleep in the late afternoon when she's fussy.
