here is someone who likes to wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Secondly I would like to say sorry for not doing more post on the blog but I was completely overloaded with work. Now my vacation has started and therefor I’m feeling pretty well. On Saturday next week Katie, little Tim and I will go to north Germany at the coast of “North Sea”, somewhere northwest of Hamburg for a week. We’ve rented a house with Jo and Jeanette (and of course Aldo) and hopefully will have a good time. I’m really curious how little Tim will look, when he’ll see the “big pond” for the first time. Anyway, we’ll wave to you.
Our Christmas tree this year is smaller than usual because we’ll leave on December 27. But that doesn’t matter. Katies Mom told us years ago that she’ll have another Christmas tree not before she’ll have her first grandchild. So some weeks ago I said to her: “Hey Mom, it seems you’ll have to buy a tree this year”, and she did. I’ve been there today and she bought a really big one.
Commonly we’ll visit my father on December 24 in the afternoon and then go to Katies Mom in the evening to celebrate Christmas eve. This year we decided to stay at home. We don’t want to pack all the things you need for a little boy in our car. So we’ve invited the family to our house. I think I will put something in the pizza oven in the back yard and we’ll have our celebration here. Little Tim is absolutely fascinated about all the lights in the tree.
Please let me not finish without wishing you a warm, happy Christmas, a wonderful 2009 and thank all of you for your friendship.

Holger, thanks so much for posting the new picture of little Tim. He is changing so much and growing up so fast. It seems like such a short time ago that you announced his arrival.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about not posting on the blog. As you can see, we have all been very lax in posting but with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, we've all been very busy.
Big Tim will be here tomorrow night and Josh will arrive on Christmas morning. I can't wait to see them both.
We'll spend Christmas with our daughter Kelly and then our whole family, with the exception of Tim's wife Jodi and my brother, will be at our house on Saturday for our family Christmas. I think there will be thirteen of us here this year.
I'm not that familiar with Germany but I'm going to look at a map to see exactly where you are going for your holiday. I'm glad you have good friends to travel with.
I know you will have a wonderful Christmas with little Tim. It's so much fun at Christmas with a baby. There are so many new things for them to see and touch.
Isn't it amazing how babies change your life. I think they make everything even more special.
Tom and I wish you, Katie and little Tim a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
I promised you pictures of our family and will post some soon.

Holger, it is Josh.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for inviting my father and me to stay with you this summer. I am really excited about it and i can't wait to meet you and your family. I wish your whole family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Josh(the good looking one)
Hi Josh,
ReplyDeleteit is a great pleasure for me and Katie to have you here and we're also very excited. Your Dad asked me before and I think it was part of his Xmas surprise for you, wasn't it? So I didn't mentioned it on my post. Don't expect too much - as I told your Dad: Neunkirchen has half the size of Chicago cimatary but is twice as dead!!!
Holger :-)
