O nein, o nein, o nein!
How can I adequately live up to the coolness of having 09/09/09 as a birthday?! I have already openly admitted that I am a nerd, so now I must confess that I’m probably not cool enough to do something really unique and clever on my “special” birthday. Instead, it will be a day spent mostly observing my usual routine, except that we get a date night out, courtesy of baby sitter Tante Linda.
The real excitement begins on 09/11/09, when we fly to Germany for a two week visit. Andreas will work his hardest to destroy every knick-knack placed lower than about 36 inches off the ground at Uromi’s house but will not be successful. (That project would take even him- a most determined crawler / investigator / destructor- much, much longer than two weeks.) Simona will likely sample every unhealthy cuisine found in Deutschland, including plenty of Kinderschokolade, Eis, and probably several of the unfortunately named chocolate-covered marshmellow treats known as “Mini Dickmanns.” Caleb and I will spend our time supervising the above-mentioned troublemakers while trying to visit with friends & family and take in the sites of Dresden, Leipzig, and Berlin.
Should be a fun trip. We’ll let you know how it goes– wish us a good time!
