Busy month, and it's only half over

If February is any indication of what the year as to be, it will be a very busy one. What a month. It started out with a week long ski trip to Garmish with some very dear friends who drove here from England. It was a week of firsts for the kids. Mikey was in daycare throughout the morning for three days straight. He's been in daycare before, but never that long. He went straight into the toddler room, which I was excited about. It usualy means they do more activities for the kids. He brought home his first piece of artwork, which a promptly framed...as every good mother should do. He did pretty good, I must say.

As for Shelby, she was in German Ski school for four days and was quite upset when she found out that we would be going home the fifth day and she wouldn't be skiing. The instructors took her up on the hill we were skiing on the third and fourth day. I didn't get to see any of it, but Jay did and made some videos for me.

Now you may ask,,,,why wouldn't I have see my daughter ski down the big hill? Well, I'll tell you. Mikey has had this drainage with cough for about two months now. Sometimes, the drainage gets pretty bad and the coughing makes him vomit. It is not very pretty, I assure you. Well, he had one of those coughing fits early Thursday morning, which meant he threw up ALL over me. I almost threw up it was so nasty. I thought children had stomachs no bigger than their fists....how can something so little, hold so much? Needless to say, at 0100 am, Mikey and I were in the shower. I decided to stay home, much to the dismay of Jay who wanted to go skiing with me, in case he threw up again. My luck would have it that I would be on top of the mountain with the CDC trying to call me because he threw up again.

SO I stayed home and waited..and waited..and waited. He was fine, and I was pouting. Not even really a cough from him all morning. Oh well.

We had a lot of fun and found a great apartment that we will continue to go back to. The Landords of the apartment were so very friendly and always sat down to talk to us whenever they saw us. Oh, and by the way...so much cheaper than that "Hotel" down the way.

As for our friends, Kris and Drew, and I think they had a great time as well. Maybe not so much at the beginning as Drew had never been on ski's before in his life. The first two days for them were rough, but once Kris took him on the mountain with just her and no instructor, he really started to get it and actually had fun. Word is, he's already planning the next ski trip. Good for you guys!!

I was, and still am, very proud of my little Shelby. She fell down, but laughed and got back up again. I can say the same thing for her Momma. Seems as if I'm not quite good enough for the red runs yet. Kept falling down, but just laughed and got back up, with the help of my Man.

It was really a fun and relaxing time. we got to spend a day in the town without kids, which was nice. Bought a few things, and ate some fine food. Had GREAT company and lots of laughs. It was sad to see are friends go, but here's hoping to seeing them again soon.

Now we are planning our next trip to Prague and the trip to Dublin, which will only be Jay and I.

As for the month so far, every weekend has been busy and it doesn't seem to be slowing down soon. Spring has not shown it's sunshine yet, but the latest shopping trips and romantic evenings will help dull the pain. I only hope that, at least Shelby will remember these times. How proud her Daddy was of her, as my Daddy was of me while I was in ski school. Until the next time.....

Snow

I must say..that if I have to live in a place where there is actually winter, I much rather have the snow than the rain. We have just had another bit of the white stuff just recently and I have really enjoyed my morning walks.

Surrounded by non-asthetics, one only needs to take a quiet walk in a quiet place to hear the new snow crunch underfoot, the rhythmic pattern of a buggy and the peace of the world to rejuvenate the soul and to see the beauty and the blessings that God has given one. Breathe in the crisp air and live in the day. There is a quiet corner behind every noisy, bustling street.

It really does make the world a little bit more peaceful. Though I do miss my lovely, warm sunshine; I will make do with the peace of snow.

Speaking of snow..our plans are all set for a week of skiing. Shelby will be in Ski School for about three to four mornings and Mikey will be int he CDC at that time. This means that Jason and I will be able to ski all four mornings if we like, or do whatever couples do without children. Our friends Drew and Kris will be joining us and we can't wait. More details later...

Now on to FOOTBALL!!! Well the Saints are going to the Super Bowl and I am actually quite excited..being a Buccaneers fan and all. At least it is an NFC South Team. Jay told me this morning the fans of the NFC South are lovable losers. Meaning, that if the team you really root for can't be at the big party, you root for the next best thing...especially if it's an NFC South team.... A "One for All" mentality I guess. I saw nothing wrong with this. I'd rather see the Saints than the Falcons, that is for sure!!

Well off to a friends house to a drink. Goodnight!!

Hello again?

So I see that my last post was this past summer........that is pretty sad...DANG it All FACEBOOK!!! So let's try this again. I'm guessing that those who once followed this blog have now moved on to better things. Let's see who still checks in...

A lot has happened since the summer. Our Baby is now almost 18 months old. Shelby is now 6 and is in Kindergarden and we have now reached over a year of living overseas, with a possibililty of two more years left. Jay is now a Major and Trysta is still hanging around. It's been quite a year and LOTS of traveling.

As for the traveling...I believe that we have seen more of the island of Great Britain than of Germany. Jay and I finally made it to a U2 concert in Berlin and a Bucs/Pats game in London. Christmas has come and gone and now we are planning our annual Ski trip.

There is so much more that has happened since July, but it would take forever to write it all down. so from hence forth.....

the happenings of the Nagy family.....
