Playdate with Emma

What a beautiful Sunday morning - warm temperatures in mid November and a perfect playdate with Emma. Ronja shared even her bike with her and in the end the two of them had a final baby-chino in a cozy coffee house together ;-)

Laterne - Laterne....

A wonderful German tradition - having a lantern parade for St. Martin. Ronja joined this event in Stuttgart - following St. Martin on his horse with hundreds of other kids. Luckily we had the stroller with us, because she did not make the whole route - she was definitely tired from the afternoon shopping for some ski gear ;-)

Winter Weekend in Austria with Emma and Tessa

What a fun weekend in the alps - 18 adults to entertain Ronja, Emma and Tessa. Reading books, playing on the floor of the 500 year old hut, wintery walks in the mountains and even have a sleding "competition" Team Switzerland against Team Germany ;-) - all 3 kids were winners and in the end pasta please ;-)

Wasn - Horseback riding and fun at the fair!

Ronja finally wanted to sit on a horse - and it had to be the biggest one ;-) At the "Wasn" - the huge Octoberfest in Stuttgart she enjoyed the rides - loved the carousels and even the traditional beer carriages (which block the traffic in these days). Now she cannot wait for spring- when the fair comes back for the spring festival! ("Mama when will we have spring?")

Ronja behind the steering wheels

During a trip to the Mercedes Museum Ronja got the chance to sit behind several steering wheels - she loved to drive the firefighters car as much as the formula one car!

Trip to Lake Konstanz - Kids reunion

After 9 months the three friends were united: Alina, Anton and Ronja came together for a fun day at Lake Konstanz. Looks like they still like each other a lot:-) Molly (Ronja's babysitter from the US who is visiting us) joined the gang and read to Ronja during the long drive - tahnk you!

First time in a circus

Ronja had the chance to go to a tiny circus - the freebie was fun for her and she talked a lot about it afterwards...especially about the horse who ran in a circle ;-) Even better was the tiny train and carousel she could ride for free - thank you local furniture store for the summer fun!
