Wow, the last month has flown by... I've been meaning to get a post up about Daniel's birthday since the start of May, which is when I started working as a long-term substitute at the nearby preschool. Those 4 years old have been keeping me plenty busy, but still, it is time I end this dry spell of blogging... I even have a few posts to catch up on from last fall! Ridiculous, I know.
I actually plan to do a lot of blogging in the next week to get all caught up before our next big trip. Our upcoming adventure will definitely give me plenty to blog about... that's because we are going to South Africa for the World Cup!!! I can barely contain my excitement just typing that sentence! We leave in one week from today, and we will be down there for two weeks... we are attending four games in Johannesburg, going on a safari, and checking out Cape Town. Needless to say, we can't wait! Before we head south of the Equator though, let me fill you in on some of the other fun stuff we've been doing....
Back on May 8th, my wonderful husband turned 30! Based on his very youthful appearance, I know that is hard to believe, but it's true :) To celebrate the big day, Daniel wanted to keep it low-key, so we had a BBQ with friends here in Frankfurt. Here are a few photos for your enjoyment, including the spread of yummy food; our friends, Greg and Sarah G. and Jan C. hanging out around the grill; a few pics of Daniel talking with some of the guys; and me with the handsome birthday boy.
Of course, it being a birthday party, we had to have cake and ice cream... I decided to make cupcakes so I could clearly display his ripe old age :) (The cute little candles said "Happy Birthday.") We also churned up some homemade ice cream... vanilla with crushed Butterfinger. It was sooo good!
Before the end of the night, I grabbed a bunch of my girlfriends for a photo... Nancy, Heather O., Stephanie, and Jan. I also wanted one more shot with Daniel... if you look closely, you can make out Frankfurt's sky needle in the background. It's illuminated in purple at night... it's kind of odd, but hey, I guess that is Europe for ya!
Daniel's birthday BBQ turned out to be a very fun, relaxing evening. Sometimes I still can't believe Daniel and I are both already 30! I guess time flies when you are having fun :) Well, like I said, I will be blogging again very soon, so stay tuned... meanwhile, I hope you have a great day!
