yes, I am back. Only when not working I keep myself busy arguing about bilingualism. I can not help myself, I just have to do it :-).
China,
congratulation, they are beautiful
Chris,
I also hope that there is only one, but, seems like you are defiantly pregnant, congratulation
Jen,
when is your due day? I am still in Austria, I only did one week vacation in Greece
Candi,
gash, I was really confused with sleeping beauty and snow white . I thought this is the some person I mean character. One which sleeps long and get woken by nice prince kiss. For my defense they have different names in Croatian and in German. So, I google them and get difference. But, isn't sleeping beauty one with dwarfs, bad stepmother and apple - and dark hair. somehow I remember short black hair lady marching around with dwarfs. HM,s end me a disney link pleas. Anyway, I develop much more understanding for you thinking that Berty the bus is a locomotive engine last year :-).
Ellen,
relax a bit. I mean it is not so nice experience for Paige but as it not kill her it would her make stronger. Maybe it would help bit with her dealing with some kind of thing which would happen once later in life. About being beautiful. I was just thinking about my Greece experience. Julian has kind of oversize head, big blue eyes and now kind of blond curly hair. You saw the pictures, he looks cute, but so the other kids do. In Greece, like in Croatia year before, we were followed with Italians kind of in delirium yelling \"che bello bambino, bellisimo\" after him, Greeks also looked kind of strange, he didn't have to pay for drinks, they wanted to take photos with him. I get bit confused, it never ever happen in Austria. I mean, we were told from time to time how cute he is but nobody make big show of it. Yes, and one Greek told him: Julian, Cesare :-)). Any only thing our beautiful angel care about are his small cars.
Other then that, seems like Paige and he do have some similar kind of reacting. Only she is much more verbally advanced then he is.
I remember being told different things from unknown people all my life. Whenever I was told something bad I was upset, otherwise I was either embarrass or didn't really believe it. When I think now in sum it would have been the best if I was just ignoring it. It is only not easy.
So, I did survive plane although should admit I was never before so afraid like when we get in one high wind area during flight. I should admit I am generally more concerned when Julian is with me. Last year when boat with me almost drown I somehow believed that I am a very good swimmer, so I'll save myself, thanks god Julian is not with me.
Greece was sunny and nice. It was not long before planed holiday, I was just going to last minutes best offers internet page and chose hotels with children, all inclusive and exact days Hans was free, start search and then chose between few offers. I was more after Portugal - Algrave or Madiera originally but I was never in Greece and Santorin was beautiful. Hans was very happy because he is not so much in swimming and Greece offer better sightseeing then Spain. Well, this particular places. I still plan to go to Madiera and Algrave once. Seems that there are good offers in children hotels in before school holidays period so we would probably do it again next June. I guess Greece or Portugal from here is like Mexico for you, nice but not so something really special.
Will post picture on facebook during today. MY boss was after my neck whole day yesterday, today he went to 3 day business trip, so I decide to finished all side jobs today and do work 2 other days. I badly, even start to consider to make print out album with greece picture online during job hours. It is that i never get time for it at home, so I still do not have printed Australia album.
It is not like I can lose my job any more :-)
Candi,
once in future, when you maybe come to Europe with something like Titanic, I mean with some boat instead of plane we can take together boat trip from Croatia to Greece. It does take I think one day and one night and I always wanted to do it.
Should go not working now, till later
