As They Grow

Every once in a while I will try to post updates on the boys and what they have been up to.  It's amazing how they grow so fast, especially when you don't see them in a while.  This past weekend we went to our first Halloween party in downtown Berlin at an activity center just for expats.  Gabe's costume doesn't come in until tomorrow so he had to wear Isaac's Plex costume from last year.  He made a pretty stinkin cute Plex though!

 Isaac (Spiderman) participated in a costume parade and when they called him up he shot the lady with webs, that boy kills me!

Gabriel:  He just turned 1 this past September and boy is he a wild man! We had a little birthday party for him and he devoured his entire cupcake, an eating machine.  Most days I would say he eats more than Isaac.

I thought Isaac had a lot of energy but Gabe is on a whole different level, sweet as can be though! He just started walking a few weeks ago and can already chase his brother, attack him with a sword, and climb on anything and everything. He loves walking around and riding this scooter.

Him and Isaac play pretty nicely together, they have their moments though.  Luckily Gabe is laid back and tough so not much bothers him.  There are a ton of parks around Berlin so when the weather is nice we try to keep busy outside.

Isaac:  He will turn 3 next month and what a little boy he has turned into.  He is talking so much now and the things he says just crack us up.  He is like a little me though because everything he says is exactly what I say with the same inflections.  He also loves to sing and is starting to learn words to his favorite songs.  The other day we were listening to a song by Amy Winehouse and he said "Mama this is my favorite song!" He is really into superheroes right now, so we've been making costumes out of foil, keeps him entertained for hours!  He will find any excuse to dress up like Thor below- however sadly the cowboy hat phase has ended.

The boys and I have found a couple English speaking playgroups where we have met nice new friends.  There is always something going on in the city and we have found many fun festivals and activities for the kids.  So far we are really enjoying our time here in Berlin!

With love,
