Well Jay is back home and life is returning to normal! Hayden is officially sleeping through the night, and that means a lot more sleep for me! Jay got home Saturday evening. While he was on his way back, we made a quick trip to Kreuzberg, home of the best beer in Germany and some say the world! It's brewed by monks in a monastery about 45 minutes from where we live, so we decided to take a ride up there on Saturday. It was a beautiful, cool day and quite a hike up that hill with the stroller and Jay's three-liter container to be refilled, so we got a nice workout! We dropped off the empty containers and walked around the grounds for a little while. It's a beautiful place, nestled between mountains and trees. There is a great view on top of the mountain, which is impossible to see with strollers so next time we're leaving the babies with the boys and taking a hike up all those stairs.

I was still getting over my stomach bug, so we stayed home Saturday evening and enjoyed being all back together again. We had a fun weekend, grilling out and showing Jay all Hayden's new fun tricks. His personality develops so rapidly, so it's fun to show off his new quirks. Oscar was very glad to see Jay, as we all were! Hayden tried applesauce and LOVED it, and has moved on to bananas which he doesn't like quite as much. He tried his sippy cup for the first time and is making progress with it!

Hayden had his six-month shots yesterday and was a champ! He only let out one good yell and then he was fine. It makes me sad to see those little band-aids on his legs, but now he doesn't have to get more for another six months. He's getting so big!
