Maenner

October 16, 2007

Note to self: do not leave husbands in charge of children when football matches are on. Saturday, Rainer’s best friend Tobias came to visit with his wife Katrin and two beautiful kids, Hanna, who’s almost 5, and Simon, who’s 2 and a half.

May 31, 2007

Finding product replacements for your favorite foods and snacks is always tough for new expats (and occasionally some of us more experienced expats as well)!
