Guess Who's Nine Today?


A Swiss miss is nine years old today!
Nine is such a cute age. So sweet and innocent and excited about life.
She told us about each of her seven American Girl dolls, and about a new girl in her class who is Italian, and doesn't speak German yet.
Our birthday girl also told us her family sang Happy Birthday to her four times - in Latin, French, English and German.
How cute is that?



The picture below is from the summer when this girl turned five, and she started to read. It suddenly clicked, and every day she made huge progress. So exciting!


                           She was thrilled, as were we all.   (Do you know her family nickname?)

Family Bike Ride on Swamp Rabbit Trail





We visited this darling trio (actually 3 1/2) in S. Carolina over the weekend, and we all went on a family bike ride on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and had a delicious lunch at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe.






                                             And at home - pictures of PUPPIES!!


Opa and NouNou like each other.
