1st/2nd tooth & daddy's arrival home

So it's official.  Sterling has 1 tooth out and the other is halfway out.  The 1st tooth was out on the 5th, just in time to show daddy her new smile.  No more granny gummer on my hands... :(

Speaking of Nick, he arrived home early Sunday morning.  We were all excited!  He was so excited that he left his luggage outside and had to come in and see all of us.  Sterling was fine and was smiling at her daddy right away, but for some reason after her nap, she was screaming.  Xander wanted him to pick him up right away and they were on the ground wrestling within minutes.  I had plans to go shopping by. my.self!  That didn't happen, I had Sterling on my hip.  I was still able to enjoy my time out and actually getting a chance to look around rather than rushing through the stores.  Our first stop was to the coffee house.  I really wanted a white chocolate mocha.  Much to my surprise, the coffee shop had a major plumbing issue and couldn't make anything other than teas and brewed coffee...how boring!  I had regular coffee.  We then went to the BX to grab a few items and for me to try on some new shoes.  Which I didn't buy because they were $94!!!  Seriously...they can stay on the shelf!!  Then it was off to the grocery store for some much needed groceries.  We have a lot of good meals planned for this week.  I'm excited to cook and feel like it was worth my time.

Nick is off work the rest of the week.  So on Thursday and Friday we are planning day trips out.  We will go to the outlets, which we discovered yesterday on a drive out.  They were only about 20 minutes away!  Seriously, 2 years later, I discover outlets...so close to home!  I'm such a loser.  It was a beautiful drive though.  Fall in Germany is gorgeous!  The other day we are planning to go to the Black Forest.  The problem is, it's so huge, we're not sure where to go.  Where the best place to see the fall colors.  We don't want it longer than 3 hours drive since we are doing it a day out.  Too many choices I tell you!  So, we'll probably do that Friday since we have some research to do.  I think we're also going to squeeze in the pumpkin festival.  There are 2 around here and I think it would be fun to go to both!  We'll see if Nick agrees...ha!

Have a great day!
