Correction – to last entry

Yes, i was wrong – i have attended another baby shower besides my own – so the 1st line should read, “…the only other shower i have attended is the O’connors’ & of cos my own …”

Thanks for alerting me to this – obviously i wasn’t quite awake when i wrote the entry – hehehheee 😉

Hopefully i can stay awake till i have to go pick Hubby up from the train station.

Baby Shower

Yesterday, i had fun planning & being a part of a baby shower – the only other shower i attended was my own for Tobias – so…
It was a small party of 6 ladies but fun, nonetheless.
My favourite part was learning a Russian lullaby from the mom-to-be.
Here’s a pic of the ladies & the pressies:

Tribute & a little sportsman

My Uncle Nagel passed away – April 21st, 2006.
His death was not unexpected but i had expected to at least be able to see him one more time before he passed but…
He is now home with the Lord & my Dad said that my uncle knew he was dying so maybe he was ready to leave this world. This thought is but a small comfort as i have indeed lost a dear dear uncle.
Well, what about My Uncle Nagel?
He isn’t really a “blood” uncle to begin with – he is my Dad’s great friend & has always been closer than blood to us. When i was little, we shared many many weekends at his place & many many holidays too. He watched me grow up, always had a big big hug for me & of cos my parents & brother too. He shared the ups & downs of my life. He always had a great story to tell of the days long ago – i really enjoyed those stories! Always the joker at the dinner table. He was a stubborn old man but a dear one. He loved his family dearly & they him. & i loved him too.

Today was a sunny afternoon in our little village of Langendorf, we discovered a little sports champ in the making:
