Tick Tock, Tick Tock!

The new addition to our family is almost here! For anyone not in the know, Reed will be born on Monday via scheduled C-section!! I thought it would be a good idea to try and squeeze in one last trip before the baby comes, so I mentioned a weekend in Paris to Makayla on Thursday. This proposal was quickly shot down by an eye roll and a comment including words that shall not be repeated (just kidding, it wasn't that bad!). I think she appreciated my spontaneity.

So,we are spending our last "sans baby" weekend resting, finishing final preparations, cleaning (of course!), and playing with our new car! I can't deny it, the arrival of our new wheels yesterday was a little like another child being born..it's so shiny, and fun to play with. The leather is smooth like a baby's bum, and smells so good! Ok, ok, I know it's just a car, but it is nice to be rid of our loaner that smelled like smoke, and only had two doors. And, wouldn't this have been a great car to drive to take on a 4 hour drive to Paris?!

Last weekend we spent the day in Maastrich, a city in the Netherlands just a little over an hour from Bonn. I realized recently that an old friend from Amazon, Sylvia, has moved with her husband back home to Maastrich, so we used the opportunity to visit her, meet her 2 yr old daughter, and explore the city.

I'm not sure what was cuter, the city center, or her daughter Sadie! We had fun getting to know both. We also had one of the best waffles we've had in Europe so far. Fresh off the griddle with powdered sugar...mmmmm! Does it get any better than that?
