4/52

Well, it's the last week of January & it still feels like we just celebrated Halloween yesterday. Time has flown by incredibly fast for us. While part of me is glad about that, another part of me wishes time would slow down just a bit because Annabell is growing up way too fast for my liking. 

This last week was pretty busy for us, we went to the Sea Life aquarium in Speyer with some friends, we've had play dates and plenty of skype dates. Now I'm ready to relax next week since Dan will be going to Greece for awhile, I'm so jealous but so excited for him at the same time.

Annabell picked this pirate turtle at the aquarium & Dan bought it for her. She named him Nemo and has slept with him every night this week.

Sea Life Aquarium

I took a ton of photos at the aquarium this past weekend, but neglected to take photos of hardly anything else this week. So, this blog update is going to be mainly photos of all the amazing sea creatures we saw. Annabell loved the aquarium, her favorite's were the sea horses, the ONE clown fish they had and of course, the turtles. :)

(I am posting these photos small so that this post it's 15 pages long, but if you click on the photo it should show up bigger for everyone to see.)

 

Annabell was scared of the eels, it was pretty funny watching her try to inch herself as far away from the eel tank and she could get, lol. She was also not a fan of the lobsters, she thought they were giant bugs. For whatever reason, Annabell is terrified of bugs. I don't know where she got that fear from since neither Dan or myself are afraid of bugs. 

I still catch spiders in the house and let them free outside.

 

    

We all had a great time, and hopefully if any of our family are able to visit us here in Germany we can all go back and visit the aquarium again. 

Annabell asked me to take a photo of her Nemo turtle as soon as we got home, lol.

Between play dates and skype dates, I didn't take too many photos. 

We were lucky enough to skype my Mom and talk to my adorable niece Adalene this week, she is getting too big and just keep's getting cuter and cuter. I was also to have not one, but TWO skype dates with Esther, Emma and little Enrique this week. I loved watching Annabell and Emma try to play games through video chat because it's the cutest thing ever.

Annabell received a box from her Aunt Lorilea and Uncle Tommy yesterday and she got a bunch of new toys and clothes, they always buy the cutest things for her. We FINALLY were able to arrange a skype date, this whole being in different times zones makes it such a pain to catch up but the 30 minutes was worth all the hassle! Anna's favorite gift from them was the Nerf gun that shoots at like 50mph. She has been shooting us since she opened the box and I don't see these Nerf wars ending anytime soon, lol. She has been running around telling us that she's killing zombies like her Daddy! Last night Dan had to take the gun away from her because she tried to go to sleep with it. I could just see her getting up in the middle of the night and sneaking into our room to shoot us in the face, hahaha.

Until next week..
