Stories of a weekend

With Markus being very busy travelling again a lot for business purposes weekends have become very important again for all of us and so we try to spend as much time together as possible. During the week its sometimes only possible for Markus to spend some time in the morning with our junior as he is coming home only late and due to the fact that Jakob is making huge steps in his development he does not want to miss any minute. Our little energetic sunshine is doing a lot of workout these days crawling already through the whole living room and using any possibility to stand up. Not only that we have to secure the stairs and flowers but Markus also bought and mounted glass doors to the TV rack so that the Playstation 3, surround system and HD-Box are safe.

Gosh! I was supposed to practice in secret!

The past weekend was clearly dominated by friends and family as Stefan and Viki joined us on Saturday for some shopping in the city whereas Jakob was wide awake in the pram up until the point where we have been so hungry that we wanted to go to Burger King, eat and return home. As we approached the entrance to the restaurant he fell asleep and so we scrapped the food-plans and Kerstin dived into the shops for some outfit for the upcoming christening. Unfortunately she came back after more than 1 hour (J still fast asleep) very frustrated and without outfit. She is thinking of a Plan B now. Saturday evening Ines stopped by after her massage course and stayed with us for the night.

Sunday morning Markus took care of Jakob while Kerstin visited family Moelzer in order to pick up the "cage" for our little one and in the afternoon family Strutz joined us for a walk in the Prater, lunch that Markus prepared and a nice and easy going Sunday afternoon. Anna and Jakob discussed a few things in a language we did not understand and us parents discussed a few things which we assume our kids did not understand. That way we all had some benefit. And after some fun for Jakob in the bathtub a nice weekend found an end followed by an early pickup for Markus on Monday morning for a 1-day trip to Frankfurt followed by meetings in Vienna on Tuesday and two days in the polish capital Warsaw. But the next weekend is coming soon.
