They're beautiful and they're mine

This blog is a request from Greg, after one of Nora's funnies yesterday....

After a successful poop-on-the-potty event by Nora, I gave her some chocolate chips as a special treat for being such a great pottier the last 2 weeks. I promise I'm not bribing her or always rewarding her with food ;)

She carried the five chocolate chips in her palm over to the couch, where she sat down next to Greg. After he teased her that he was going to eat them, she said "No, no - They're mine, Daddy! Don't eat them, they are beautiful!"

I don't know if that was a you had to be there funny or not, but it definitely makes me a little scared of things to come ;)

Trip to Bonn

I loved almost everything about my trip to Bonn recently... the great weather, running and biking along the Rhine, the public transportation, the beer... the only thing that would have made it better was not being away from Nora for so long! I didn't do too well at the picture taking, but here are a few views...



The first day I was in Ramersdorf (the town outside Bonn where I stayed), there was some sort of May Fest going on, complete with a small town beauty pageant... Just like Perry!

Kolsch!


The Rhine


The UN Campus where I was working


The nice bike and running paths along the Rhine

Nora at Turkey Roost

I can't believe how long it has been since I've blogged... but it has been a busy last few weeks. I got to spend a week in Bonn, Germany for work, back in AZ for a week before heading down to Florida for our friend Roy's wedding, a week visiting my family, and then a week in Barcelona - while Nora stayed at the Turkey Roost with Granny D, Papa, and Cool Aunt Sarah. I promise more travel pics soon.... but in the meantime, here are some of Nora with her new favorite thing - HORSEY!!!






And one of her just looking super cute...

More pics soon....
