Olivia's first haircut

...Olivia got her first haircut on March 12, 2008. A memorable event...

...Olivia was very good & held still the entire time...



...it turned out pretty good too...




...only Jan did not know what the fuss was all about...

Friends & Family visiting

Olivia and Jan's Oma visited from Germany for five weeks! Many thanks for the great support and thanks for Opa to let her visit again. We will miss Oma a lot

Olivia's boyfriend Jack, we have to watch those two, look at his smile and did you notice, he is almost naked...

Just some other new pictures...

Jan walking with a purpose...

Cute Bunny!

What, oatmeal again?

I will eat it...

It has been a while...

Bath time is fun!

Holiday Fun

Some of Santa's reindeers arrived early at the Beck household! They are pretty cute, so Mama will let them stay.

Gingerbread houses

After the reindeer left, Olivia and Jan Michael prepare for Santa's arrival by making gingerbread houses. They did a fantastic job of decorating and eating the candy-and had a great time doing it!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Oops, how did the chocolate get from the roof to my mouth? Hmm, better get another!

Perfect!

What? I am supposed to KEEP the candy on the house? What fun is that?

One candy for the gingerbread house...Two for the toddler's mouth! Nap time is gonna be fun today!

Christmastree & Friends

Tom, Marla & little Jack Jr. visiting the Beck's for a Cowboys vs. Packers TNF :-)

...so festive...

Eating can be fun...

So I woke up this morning to a "bad hair day". I thought what would make me feel better is a good breakfast & I am ready to go...

...but first I have to get out of this darn crib and I am still so tiered...

...well this stuff is living up to its expectations...

I might just stick my entire head into it...

...lick it...

...play with it...

...and lick it again...

...now I am soooo full...

St. Martin's Tag 2007

The first St. Martin's Tag was a success although the kids were quite ready to go home by the time the actual lantern walk started :-)

...BTW, Papa made these Lanterns himself...

"Ich laufe mit meiner Laterne..."

"...und meine Laterne mit mir"

"Hoppa, hoppa Reiter..."

Wir habe, in guter "Neustadter Wappen Tardition" St. Martin gehuldigt...

This feels and looks a lot like Tarzan & Jane...

...these pillows & tunnels are too much fun...

Aren't we so cute...?

Me Tarzan,...

You Jane...?
