Margaret, as Cookie Monster!
This morning I took Margaret to her playgroup.
I'll put a better picture up later, but I am dressed as a witch, with green hair and a few warts.
But Margaret didn't want the Mama-witch to leave today, so I eventually took her back home with me. 
A Typical Picture of William, age 4
When I get out the camera, William usually runs as fast as he can into his room and shuts the door.26 October 2007
Happy 1st Birthday, Emory!
Dear Emory,
Have fun "cooking up" trouble in the coming year!
Love, Auntie HF, Mr. Dr. HF, Wm, and Mg!

Quotes from William
William talks pretty much constantly now and says some pretty funny things. My favorite quote from him lately is, "Let's have a parade! Get your submarine!".
I didn't think it was possible, but I easily found the above picture of a "submarine on parade" on the web...thank you, Google!
When will spring come?
It seems like somebody is sick at our house all the time these days! This Monday, Margaret came down with a cold and fever and William developed a mysterious wound infection and accompanying rash and required antibiotics. I found our third bout of disease in a month so depressing that I am not blogging about it until today - thank goodness they are almost completely better! I think everybody is looking forward to playing outside more! And certain adults are looking forward to watching less "Spongebob Squarepants: the Movie" ( It is a funny show, however! William and I like the part where he brushes his eyes instead of his teeth.)

Wm plays trains.
Today, we got a package in the mail with two new trains! Thank you, Oma and Grandpa ( and for the other stuff, too!).
William loves playing when Margaret is taking her nap.
And it gives me time to blog!
Philomien's Sweater!
Sean's Godmother Philomien made this cute sweater - and look, it still fits!
Margaret is somehow obsessed with reading my medical books. I think it has more to do with their location ( within her reach) than the subject matter. I think she has now spent more time with the above book than I ever did!
Happy Birthday Concert for Nadia (Oct. 18)!
I decided to give a little piano concert for Nadia on her birthday. 
Some might not have considered it much of a present - since I've only been practicing for 3 weeks - but I encouraged champagne consumption and Nadia, her mother , Aline, and the three children were an extremely forgiving and nice audience.
Oops, looks like Sammy noticed that I hit a wrong note!
The brown chocolates were good, but the white truffles had champagne inside them and William spit his out emphatically.15 October 2007
Dr H Got New Wheels!
This is a picture of my new bike, "Red" - here to replace my last bike, "Bucky". Bucky was Bro Hausfrau's old bike...and could only go downhill fast. Red can go uphill, too! I am looking forward to many good Fahrts. 
Mg plays Mama
Mg cleans with her sponge, just like Mama.
And Mg pushes the baby around in a stroller, too!12 October 2007

Fall in Konstanz
I have enjoyed posts of what the fall looks like in Seattle (Ursi's blog) and Denver (Andy's Blog) - this is what fall looks like in Konstanz.
This morning, I took William and Margaret, who are both slowly recovering from the stomach flu, on a quiet walk . We saw crows.
And old apple trees.
And this very cute house with apple trees in front of it and stacked wood ready for the cold.
And whatever this is!
We arrived at our destination, a pumpkin and gourd stand in the tiny neighboorhood called "Egg". Margaret and William each got to pick out two gourds. William likes the big white ones, Margaret doesn't care.
We put our 2 euro in the little orange box. You can also buy apples, nuts, apple juice, and apple wine (called "Most").
We took our gourds home to show Dada, who was enjoying an afternoon nap.
