Weiberdonnerstag

I sometimes miss living in Germany… yesterday was one of those days. The Germans kick off the Karneval (or Mardi Gras) season on November 11th at 11:11am… well at least where I lived they did.

6 Month Update

Noah is passed out on the sofa. Getting the Rotavirus and DTaP vaccines did it to him. Poor little guy took it like a champ though. He barely even cried when the Dr gave him the shot and he even managed to give her a smile afterward, it was a half smile, but a smile.
