Immer oefter findet Anna ihren Daumen!

"Oh, ein Daumen kann sooo lecker sein!" Wenn mal nicht der Schnuller zur Hand ist, dann wird eben der Daumen bevorzugt.

Happy Thanksgiving - gobble gobble

Since Daddy worked during the German holidays (3 Oct - German Re-unification Day and 1 Nov - All Saints Day), he took the day off on Thanksgiving and went with Steffi and Anna to the pool. We have a new video on our website (www.courchene.net).

After eating turkey steak wth bratkartoffeln for dinner, Daddy went to the pub (The Arc) to watch his Broncos narrowly beat the Cowboys in overtime.

Brave Girl !

Anna received her vaccinations today, which included a shot in her leg. We are no longer worried about Tetanus, Diptherie, Pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae b, or Poliomyelitis. Mama says that she only cried for about 5 seconds when the needle went in.

In the first photo, Anna is showing off her first band-aid.

Annas erster Schnee! Anna's first snow!

Anna ist eben erst aufgewacht. Jeff steht mit ihr am Kinderzimmerfenster und zeigt ihr den Schnee. Noch ist sie nicht sehr begeistert. Jeff kann es kaum erwarten endlich mit ihr Ski zu fahren.
Anna just woke up. Jeff shows her the snow out the nursery window. She is not very excited yet. Jeff can not wait to go skiing with her.

Jeff reads the news - Did Bush say something stupid again?

Jeff repositions Anna until she stops letting him know that she is uncomfortable.

Mama takes some self portraits...

Anna is prepared both times with bright eyes and a sultry smile.

It's Cold in Munich

By the time Anna is dressed warmly enough to go outside, she is already exhausted...

Lazy Saturday

Oma and Opa came to visit for a week. The weather is not as nice as it was last weekend, so we enjoyed a 'lazy' Saturday at home, playing cards, relaxing, and drinking...

Sweater from Lori Julga finally fits

Anna's first German clothes came as a present from Americans (long ago). She looks so cute.
