A Sunny Day In The Babelsberg Park

Finally, after two weeks of clouds and fog, we saw the bright sun again this morning - hurray!!! Thus, I packed Anna into her warm clothes and we went to play in the park with Arne and his mother. What amazingly beautiful autumn colors we now have in the Park!

Who has got the bigger pompon?

Aaaah! This refreshing "infusion" of vitamin D felt wonderful!!!

Autumn Walk

Some autumn impressions taken during our Sunday strolls in the Babelsberg Park and along the Griebnitz See:

Anna's Progress

Firstly, pushing shapes through the appropriate holes (...well, at least the round shape...)


Secondly, playing ball:


Thirdly, and VERY important to her parents, she starts to walk needing only ONE hand to hold to:


And last but not least: having enough friends to push her in her truck through the leaving room:


Yes, the boys already queue up!!!

A New Cousin For Anna

May I present - cute little Martha, Anna's brand-new cousin!!! Martha is the new family member of my brother Georg's family - congratulations to such a sweet little baby girl!!!

Holidays in Südtirol

Apologies for the long absence in posting on this page! We have not been in Potsdam for the last three weeks, but my laptop stayed here... Uh, no posts at all in the month of September!
We have been back to Austria, then Kamil went to a conference in Cogne/Italy, and furthermore, we had a magnificent week of vacation in St.Ulrich in South Tyrol. I will try to update you in this post with some photos of this wonderful time:

We stayed in an old farm house, which belongs to the family of my god-mother. The old barn is located right next to it, and the wonderful garden was an ideal playground for Anna.

But maybe, I should have posted only the following collage - I think, it says all about our vacation! (And please note the Edelweiss flowers left of Anna's foot!)
