Happy Birthday Jesus .......and Iris Dominica!

Meet my little fairy child, born on the 24th of December (poor thing!) one month early, weighing 2.500 kilos and shrieking like her mommy when shes angry!
Some say she looks like daddy, but the majority vote is shes mommys image in miniature. She has my eyebrowless german scowl, and shifty wisdom of the sages face, and Daddy laughs so much when she makes faces and throws fits that sound and look just like mommy's.
Everyone cant help but comment on how pretty she is for a newborn. And of course proud Mommy and Daddy have to concede that she is in every sense perfect! We're so very thankfull that she came out so healthy, and strong and breathing right even though, she was born a whole month early. Derek and Justin mustve been taking care of their little sister.

Feliz Cumple Fran!

Fran, este post es para acordarle a todo el mundo en esta fecha tan especial y tan occupada de tu cumpleaños.
Thank you for the times of fun, of hanging out of laughing till we feel like we're gonna die. Thank you for listening and for talking, for grimaces and faces and unconcievable terms and words that just fit and dont make sense all at once, for music and for singing, for harmonies and nifty vocal arrangements that are so classical and old school theyre corny, for cards and notes all covered in nifty grafitti-like decorations, for german accents and personifications, for nuggets, german piglets, mostards, dislocating elbows with grace, for cheese faces, and chresendos and diminuendos, for praisetime songs with tatoo lyrics, and fainting sessions with the secta............I know all this wont make sense to anyone but you so Ill just leave it at that, but i just wanna wish you a super happy birthday and hope you know youll always be my Franchuelo_love.

here are some recent pics I took with Aggie and Bia

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

26th of Nov, Happy 1st b'day!

Ok I know im almost a month late for this but well couldnt just let it pass....



Its come around, that time of year
that just a year since now
I thought would be so diffrently
than how it all turned out

I thought today, Id make you a cake
and light a candle on it
then both of you would blow it out
and lick the icing off it

I thought today we'd celebrate
with family and friends and nephews
I went to see you and found instead
that children slept around you

I thought Id give you gifts today
of books and toys brand new
instead I brought you flowers cause
they made me think of you

I thought Id tuck you in a crib
and wish you happy dreams
instead I lay you in a bed
of earth and sky and trees. Mawiee
