Mein Vater ist einfach der Beste

Sounds cliché, but in my case, it's simply true.

Father to seven children puts you in the nomination pool automatically.

Here's what earns him the gold:

 He was always there for us...and still is. 

Made it to almost every sporting event, no matter how kinda boring some were.
 

ALWAYS worked hard, but you'd never know if he had a bad day when he came home to us...

In fact, I've probably heard two complaints from this man's lips my entire life.

He's friendly and extremely likeable.

"Your dad is a great guy" is something I've heard my whole life.

 

He was always interested in what was going on with us... and still is.

(look above..that's a lot of people to keep up with.)

He's patient, selfless and a wonderful husband to my mama.

And, he's got a laugh that makes you laugh just because it's so fun to see him so cracked up.

 and he's quite a dapper Dad.

A girl's father has a strong influence on her life.

I consider myself extremely blessed.

 I love you, Dad.

Happy Father's Day.

Vienna at a Glance

We took Art's mama to Vienna last week. Can you believe it was his first time too?

So muscley, that groin region.

So groovy, those lights in an old, beautiful church.

So cheesy, that antiquey effect.

 

So leetle, those people.

So good.

So rooty, my hair.
(I mean, that is downright horrendous...it does not look that bad in real life..i hope.)

So gilded, this city.

So long, Wien.

And so long, M.  We loved having you here.

Who now will stand afar and take pics of our important life events?

:) xoxo

Fun with Marilia

Art's mom is here, he's taking some time off from work and we're all just cruisin' around.  

 

Tschüß baba for now!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

I hope all you Amerikanerins had a great Memorial Day weekend.

Life over here is just rosy.  :)  We've been enjoying them for the past couple of weeks and they might almost be on their way out.  Don't leave us, Rosies!  Poor Art has been sneezing, wheezing and puffy eyeballing for a good month now, so he might be ready for all flowers to fire their arses outta here.

Our front garden:

And around the neighborhood:

Art's mom comes on Thursday and we're looking forward to that!
