ONE MORE TIME

before Hanna left the country again she had to see her bracelet buddies (minus Barb who was excused for honeymoony reasons but present in thoughts). But bracelet bodies have evolved - it's chilly sisters now! Thank you, sisters, for a superrelaxed, wonderful time in Salzburg. Let's do it again next year!! *sigh*




Thanks for making me coffee (!!), Mavie!

MIRACLES

that Hanna's dad can work: Amazing produce! Impressive, humbling and, most of all, delicious!

OVERDUE

Come on, babies! Everyone is waiting and looking forward to meeting you! (No pressure, of course. Come when you're ready!)

SO CLOSE, NO MATTER HOW FAR

... couldn't be much more from the heart. Even though we are (once again) a few countries apart, we feel so close. Skyping with you is always the highlight of my day.

GOOD BYE, HORMAYRGASSE!

Everything is put into pieces, wrapped, shipped, sold on ebay, cleared out, or given to friends and family members. After this really exhausting work, living in the empty apartment felt kind of relaxing - even though we should have kept at least a plate and a fork ... Thank you, dear first apartment, for giving us 6 wonderful years together. Many memorable moments connected to you will stay with us forever.

REVIVED!

Leaving burning hot Vienna and exhausting clearing out work for a while was the best thing we could do. Waldviertel was the perfect place, Maria and Rudi the perfect company. We feel so revived after swimming and mountain biking for 2 days. Sauna and Mohnsterz helped a lot, too. :-) Aww, Waldviertel! Thank you, guys!








Never forget the delicious taste of Wurstsemmel!

THE HEAT IS ON

37 degrees (about 99 Fahrenheit) is just too much. Good thing we always do something that involves water for our wedding anniversary. This year one thing was clear: Our program had to include swimming in the Old Danube - refreshing and romantic! Another point that was spontaneously added was wrapping each other in wet towels - nice for many reasons ;-) Happy wedding day, love of my life! Aina sydämessäni ...

DUNSTKREIS REUNION = LOVE / LAUGH ATTACK!

Dear, dear Dunstkreis - it was so great to see you all again. A collection of all kinds of wonderful people and ideas. Thank you for making this reunion so special by ...

making us feel like prince and princess in the city of love ... Thank you SO much! After the Fiaker ride walking and going by public transport feels really primitive ;-)

Awww, pretty ladies!!

Awww, pretty Vienna!!



Thank you also for all the laugh attacks


and for doing things we have missed (e.g. drinking in public)

for paying your debts (Hanna got a crate of beer from Astrid for winning a 10-year-old bet about who would be pregnant first.)

and sharing wonderful news (which we knew but loved to hear anyway)
(How do I get the sound to work? Anyone???)

ANOTHER (RE)UNION

Reuniting (again) with dear friends and celebrating Barbara and Oli's wedding - two perfect reasons for the perfect day full of love and friendship. On top of it all, the trip to Gamlitz (Styria) gave us a chance to rediscover Austria's beauty.



Stunningly beautiful Parhamers!

FAMILY REUNION

The moment we've been waiting for ... family reunion! Good food, good wine, good environment, but most importantly: good people. When the older generation called it a night and went to bed, the night was still young for the younger ones.
