The first "short" post

So we finally got snow back in Ramersbach. I've gotten to catch up with lots of friends and family this week that I haven't talked to in a while which was nice. To those of you I got to talk to- thanks for taking the time! I miss you all.
The first week back from holiday wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The kids were lovely in the mornings and Liv has actually gotten int he routine of waking up by herself when Bennet wakes up! Of course that means that by the time I get upstairs at 6:10, they are both already up but it's nice that we don't have to go through the wake up routine- it is usually not a nice one.
I have been horribly sick with a cold since Switzerland which has really sucked. Lots of coughing and blowing my nose, very gross. The day I left Switzerland I went to the Apoteke and bought Vitamin C pills which the girl told me to take once a day. So of course, I have been taking 2-3 a day in hopes that I will just naturally boost my immune system enough to get better.
Today Bennet was home from school sick so I really hope he's not getting what I have. He slept for a little while and then was as good as new so I'm thinking he'll be okay to go to school tomorrow.
We went on a lovely little walk through the woods on Sunday. Here are some photos!

With Bonn in the background there nestled behind the hills!

Bennet needed walking sticks. As every 7 year old does on a walk through the woods. 

I still haven't been able to get back to Lacrosse practice. I was hoping to go today but because of all the snow, it was cancelled. Big bummer but hopefully I can get back NEXT week.

Not really too much else to report! Hopefully we'll go sledding with Liv's new sled in the next few days :)
Oh and shoutout to my mom for her weird Christmas presents. ET was a welcome guest star in my hangout with Alice.

giggles for days. 

Bis spater!
