Reading the Newspaper




Here is Jake viewing the pictures from this years Macy's Day Parade. On the Weekends, we are able to get our hands on a USA Today.

Hangin' with other ex-pats


While I went to a Christmas Market last night, G and the little man went to a Thanksgiving dinner. Above is the Charlottenburg Palace where the market was held. At these makets, the big thing to do is to have Gluhwien. It's actually starting to grow on me.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

The "Present Door"

Our neighbor, a former pediatric surgeon, has a softspot for Jake. He gave him a tiny "washing machine". Now he washes things like Diego's vest and other small objects. Very cute.

It Does Snow In Berlin...


Well it snowed here. I have heard it doesn't snow in Berlin - well that was wrong. It started yesterday and trickled on and off into today. The landscape really looks very storybook now. Also, I bought us a tiny Christmas Tree to decorate. It will stay on the patio for both our and Eugen's pleasure.

Today we went to a yummy brunch in trendy Prenzlauer Berg (the Soho of Berlin) with our friends Dirk and Katrin. We had a great time, but then it started to snow again.

I think we are starting to like it here...
