Wochenende

Friday was Rachel's birthday, and we celebrated Marie Antoinette style with cake and champagne. For breakfast.

Rachel and Andreas headed out right after breakfast to spend two nights in the mountains, and that left Mike, Eleanor, and me in charge. Oh, I know what you're thinking, but we've done this before. We can handle it. See?



Friday we just hung around the house and swam. Then it rained in the afternoon, so we moved the party inside. Mike worked on a DVD project for Rachel's birthday. Eleanor, Hannah, Jake, and I watched High School Musical 2.

Today is Saturday and we are heading out to enjoy the sunshine and cooler temperatures. We're going to climb a tower, work our way into downtown Bregenz for a pizza lunch and maybe ice cream (if Jake has his way--which he usually does). We're getting a baby sitter tonight, and Mike, Eleanor and I will be having a grown ups' night out in town.





Here's Mike doing what Mike does so well. "One, two, and..."


Now we're walking to the tower.



Jacob's ready for action!

First off...Yolanda and I wish Rachel a happy, happy birthday! Rachael was a beautiful baby and has grown even more beautiful as she gets older. We hope Ray had a great time on her birthday.

Let me get this straight, Rachel and Andy take off leaving you guys in charge of the churrin and you immediately spring into action and hire a baby sitter. Good strategy. Like you said, you've done this before.

The Nokester continues to wear my favorite t shirt with his great grandaddy's name on the front.

Love to all, Dad, Chimmy, etc.
