Yet another check up of the baby by the doctor the 24th of July. Now there is only 10 weeks to the due date. Time is running so fast.
Everything was Ok accordingly to the doctor. Our little boy is growing as he should (he is now 1233 gram).
But he is shy. We were hoping to see a nice profile picture of him again but he kept insisting on having his back to the scanner. But we won't spare you for a short vidio anyway. He is still a cutie!
Welcome to our family blog. We are a happy family of four: Marco, Martha, Alessandro and Iris - and this is our family journal. You are welcome to adore our wonderful children and enjoy our stories.

Summer in Denmark - Legoland
We spent a nice vacation week in Denmark in July.The weather was not really fantastic but we enjoyed visiting family and friends.
Marco had insisted that if we were to go to Denmark for vacation he had to visit Legoland.
So we went.
Marco and the other kids enjoyed playing around.A big success was especially the piratships that Marco send under heavy attack with his watercanoon.
I think the happy picture of Marco in Legoland speaks for itself.
What was fun for me was to watch Marco taking pictures throughout the whole night (I spare you the pictures) in order to document that nights in Denmark in the Summer time are much shorter and much lighter then in Italy.
I introduced Marco to the Danish natur and old country houses. He simply had to call his Dad to tell him about all the horses and nice small farmhouses he saw on our way. So cute.
Unfortunately the week went to fast and we didn't visit all the family and friends we would have liked to visit. Next time maybe...
In Training as Handyman
They wanted a big teresse so that the whole family easily can be seated there with their friends around.
They had already made much of the work but they appreciated two extre pair of hands (well being pregnate kind of minimized the tasks they wanted to hand over to me :-( so mostly it was just one pair of hand (Marcos) which really worked on the project).
While I was helping out in the kitchen Marco got the job of plugging in a fittet piece of wood into the drilled holes. First he had to fit the plug, then get it in and then plan out the surface nicely. He really became good friends with the polishing machine.
Towards the end of the day we started to see how the finished project might look like. And we could finish the day with a nice big meal in the company of good friends.

A weekend just for relaxing
28- 29 June - A weekend just for relaxing
Instead of stressing around to get the office stuff and other stuff moved out of the 2nd room to prepare for Alessandro's arrival, we went for a weekend of relaxation only.
The sun was out, the temperature perfect and so we did what we both love to do: Walking.
Saturday we went to Frankfurt (Saschenhausen) and enjoyed the nice atmospher in that part of the town.
Taking a small break in the middle of the river to enjoy the nice sight of both sides of Frankfurt, Marco just needed to call his mom to tell her about how wonderful Frankfurt is. Not to mention how nice the weather is compared to the boiling Venice.
After crossing the Main river we went downtown to the resturant there that translated is called " The Laughing Cow" where we shared a nice meal. We have come to really like that resturant because of the nice fastfood and nice atmosphere.
On the way back to the car I got really tired -in my belly - that it was no fun the last kilometer. I guess that baby must have turned so that the gravity suddenly had a better pull. That of course made a good excuse for stopping to have a nice HagenDaze icecream.
Sunday:
My belly was not much better on Sunday morning so I was so slow of getting out of bed that it was too late to catch the sacrament meeting in church.
But after getting up I believe that baby has once again moved around because the pain went away and I was ready to something...
So in the afternoon we took a drive north to Bad Nauheim. Not to visit Elvis but to go for a walk in the park there. It was the first time for both of us to be visiting the city. It was a very nice surprice. We both agreed that we could easily live there if one day we decide to move.
Old cars from the 50s and 60s were driving along the streets, Elvis was posted on big posters in the entertainment area and the park was full of people just like us that just enjoyed being alive.
Marco took this new pic of my belly. Yep -it's growing rapidly and with it our babyboy.
And here is another picture of me close to the big lake in the middle of the park. It was really a pleasure to walk there.
The only negative thing was when the park suddently rotated and I had a hard time pointing out in which direction the car were parked (Marco:"It is a weird phenomenon that only happens when Martha is walking around there.. No explanations found yet"). After walking a little too much Marco's male instict sprang into place and we got our directions back in place and finally found the car (Marco:"It's called the counter paranormal husband's power that comes to the rescue of any wife..").
