Life is a little slower paced upon returning to Berlin. The European preseason is almost two months, giving us lots of family time together before the road trips really start up again. I'm grateful & proud that we've made it to this point. We've begun our final year in Berlin.
These last weeks have been full of good things & lots of memories with little Logan.
Daily trips to the splash pad.
A new obsession with everything trucks, tractors, and cars.
Afternoon paddle boarding with Alex and Walli. I love the neighborhood by the lake.
Hours well spent playing with the water table.
I never get tired of this view! Another favorite part of Berlin is the neighborhood where I see my doctor and Logan's pediatrician. & a stop at the bakery afterwards for the best chocolate & cheese breads.
Discovering new places with Marlies. This time, a library.
Going to the Harry Potter park as a family on an off-day after some appointments.
Attending baptisms at the Dahlem building for new friends.
Going outside every day! I've definitely felt enabled to keep up with Logan's energy while being pregnant.
This is one of Logan's favorite places to sit outside of our apartment. We watch the trams and big buses go by while shouting out the colors of all the vehicles.
Visits to Marlies and Ludwig. A year ago at this time, we had hardly spoken to them. So grateful for this friendship.
Driving home together after Justin's very first preseason game in Oranienburg. Prettiest sky <3
Lots of baking together! Logan loves to get his "big stool" out of the bathroom and help out whenever he can in the kitchen.
The zoo with Nova. Third time's a charm! This time, Logan was actually into all of the animals. He especially loved the giraffes, elephants, and birds.
Lines of tractors, trucks, and cars in a new spot each day.
Still discovering pretty places to explore and walk around.
The Night Kitchen!! We went here with our friends last night. Holy cow, it was my favorite meal I've had in Berlin.
We love our missionaries. What made the night even better was finding out I knew the elder in the middle from four years ago! I was his HXP counselor in North Carolina. Small world.
Last but not least, interviews for this guy that begin at 10 PM due to the time change. This one in particular was very exciting. I wasn't even upset that Justin woke me up after midnight to share his big news. :')
Good things to come!!
