hallo, kaka?

This morning, Sven took a diaper (a clean, one. he insists to pick one before he needs to be changed), put it to his ear and said: Hello, kaka? Do I need to say I laughed. A lot. For a long time. He is a very funny kid. Cannot belive he will be two soon. [...]

He just couldn’t wait. As soon as he woke up, he put all his gear on (all, even the helmet) and wanted to get out into fresh snow. This is the most snow he has seen in his life. One happy kid. (last night when they finally came to the hotel, he told my husband [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
