Hamburg, Talkau and Berlin with Mom and Dad Schmidt

Mom and Dad Schmidt came to visit us. Deciding what to see and do took some time, but the loop we ended up doing turned out fantastic.

We picked them up from the Frankfurt Airport and headed straight north. We stayed half way to Hamburg.

And yes we found doners for our first meal

 
 Grocery shopping in Germany - fun experience for mom and dad
 Fields in Talkau, Germany. This is the village where Great Grandpa Schmidt moved from and where the Schmidt's lived for quite some time. If I was up on family history I could tell you more, but I'm not. Mom and Dad got to chat with a gentleman there in Talkau about the town and what they knew about the Schmidt family. I hung out with the kiddos at the park.

We explored the largest miniature train museum and enjoyed the scenery


 
 
 
 Sam had fun at the McDonald's play place
 

Berlin, Germany
We did the walking tour which was intense and interesting. Berlin is an incredible historic and beautiful city. The kids did amazing for a 4 hour walking tour. We were so grateful our host had a stroller we could borrow.  We were sure glad to be there. We spent 4 days there.

 The lights festival of lights was going on so we took turns going out on the town to see it after the kiddos were asleep. We always love to join in on local festivities.

 


 




 

 


 
We went to church in Berlin and the other day we went to the Island Parks. We didn't take our cameras in with us so I used these pictures of the internet. It is a tropical forest in an old hanger. We had a great time swimming, eating and exploring the tropical forest and other fun activities they had.

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
