We started this blog when we left for Guadalajara in late 2006. It feels like a lifetime ago. Well, really it was. Since then we survived a kitchen remodel, pregnancy, birth (and beyond) and now we have a son who runs our lives and we couldn't be happier (well, most of the time that is). This blog is all about him. Since all our family is far away we hope you check in now and then to stay updated on the life and times of El Chiquitito.

La Selva Negra
Here it is - the Black Forest. It is really a beautiful place and I'm so glad I had a chance to see it and be there. From a distance the trees do appear black. This place could could swallow and spit you without even a blip on the radar.
For years I was a big Herman Hesse fan and he always wrote about the magic in the forest. While I didn't have a life changing - coming of age (too late for that) moment, I did experience new things:
I walked down the road and ate it a couple of time holding a pot of meatballs without losing one; I went sledding with Daphne; I ate lots of traditional breads and sweets with Anja; I learned more about my camera settings (thanks to Gunter) and I learned how to dress my baby for a blizzard.
