Atkin Family: Some of our daughter's "addictions"

Top Things We Miss Most From Germany!!!

So we are very happy to be home again but there are a few things that we miss from our stay in Germany. There is a saying that says something like once you have crossed the Atlantic Ocean you will never be completely at home again. We love it here but we also loved our stay there, mostly because of the wonderful friends we made there but also because of the wonderful experiences we had that aren't likely to be re experienced anytime soon. So our list of the things we miss the most. The food items just aren't as good here anymore or can't be found here.
1-Friends
2-Castles
3-Yogurt
4-Cheeses
5-Musli (granola cereal with numerous types of yummy variations)
6-Wurst (a wide variety of sausages)
7- New Experiences and Scenery that are nothing like we have at home. Ex.-Train travel, GREENness everywhere, immersion in a different language and culture.

Some of our daughter's "addictions"

So our daughter isn't quite two yet but she definitely has a few things that she "LOVES".

From her father she gets a love for peanut butter. Some days she wants to skip the bread, honey or whatever else and just have peanut butter on a spoon or fingers in this case.

Her father says I have to say this is from me any my side but Elise definitely has a love for chocolate. We went shopping and let her pick a treat. She chose a big, chocolate Easter bunny that did not survive the walk home. We will blame Elise but in complete honesty she is also a good sharer so mom and dad had a couple of bites too.

And Elise's other love is shoes! We had hoped that her sandals from last year would make it through this year but they were getting small and our neighbor offered to show me a second hand store in Ravensburg. Elise was a very willing participant in trying on any shoes she could. Luckily we found a pair of sandals that will fit her for a while. She loves them and it has been hard to get her out of them ever since.
