this and that
I have decided that today is a good day to write a little bit since today was the day that Liam jumped on my back and said "Ich lieb dich Mama". I can not tell you how happy it made me to hear him say those words to me.Earlier today he hugged Lilli and told her . I love this little guy so much that my heart wants to burst. And of coure I love my little Lilli equally. She has changed so much...everday there is something new she learns. She just got her 4th tooth and sits perfectly straight now. She clapps her hand when you tell her to do it and puts every thing in her mouth faster than I can turn around. When she is eating she gets so excited that she almost forgets to breath. She is getting cuter every day and has so much personality. She is very smiley and laughs out loud when she gets tickled on her neck. She observes every thing very carefully and notices every little change. She still cries (not always anymore) before she goes to sleep and SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT since about 2 weeks. It is wonderful!
And Liam ...well let's just say there have been some drastic changes for this little boy since we've been to Greece were we said Good bye to his long time friend "quack quack". He lost his duck while we were walking around some mountain village. the picture in the train where he holds his duck is the last picture taken with it just hours before we lost it. You might think that it was traumatic for Liam and that he cried nonstop but surprisingly it wasn't at all like that. He just asked me a couple of times for it since then or said something like that "it is a shame" that we lost it. I just told him that it liked Greece so much that it wanted to stay and that made it better then. It was more difficult for me I think. We had this filthy stuffed animal for so long that it felt like another member of the family. It was like a third child that I always made sure was in the car when we went on trips. This duck had been to so many places with us, was lost and found again, hotels, airports, castles and always ended up all snuggled up in Liams arms at night that it was just sad to not have it with us anymore. But now that I am finally over it I can write about it (-;
That has not been the only change for Liam though. Our little man goes to Kindergarten now and loves it. It makes him look so old and independent. I mean it seems like I just gave birth to him and there he goes with his little back pack strapped on joining the other kids while he just turns to me to say "Mama ciao".
I am relieved that he likes it so much. I think it will be a good time for both of us.
Despite Lance's busy schedule we try to make it an effort to have some quality family time and even went on a couple of dates without the kids the past weeks. It is good to have that couple time too and sometimes you forget how much you need it. With little kids and alot going on it is easy to forget to be thankful for each other and remember the times when we first fell in Love with each other and had just us. He is still the one though and I love him dearly. Our personalitys are totally different and therefore we are perfect for each other. Thank you God for blessing me with this family. I try to be as positive as I can be about this coming year and it is good to know that I will not be alone in this. God is with me and he will be with Lance while we are seperated. The end of this year Lance has to go to the states for 2 month where I will join him for the month of february with the kids. My amazing friend is going to fly with me to help me out with the kids. And then we will be together in Germany one more month in March before the big tears.
It seems like the time is coming up fast and I want to enjoy every moment we are having together now as much as possible.
Lots of Love to everyone
