Guess Who´s Playing?

Yep, "Uncle" Ingo :-)

Here is little Niece with her parents:

The new sandpit was a hit!

There was more to explore, a new (very cute) slide:

Grandpa is helping:

This... was not a hit (yet)!
Picking an apple with Daddy is much better...

What is this all about?
Right:

Little Niece turned one today!
It was too much for her, though... so many people, too many people!

I don´t even know what "I" gave her as presents (bought by her parents) - she didn´t unpack, she was too fussy.

One present I know, though, cause I brought it myself, see it on Ingo, the Baby-Model ;-)

Niece is a Lion by zodiac sign, we´re from Baunschweig aka Lion-City and hence this bib shows a lion at mealtime saying "predator-feeding" :-)

I wanted to bring her Mum some flowers - but my Mum had the same idea.
So I ended up bringing:

A "Pizza" - from gummy bear-land :-)

This sure was a hit - SIL looked at me like "are you kidding?!!! A Pizza?!"
But then loved it. For the idea, not the calories...

Certainly this made me longing for a:

Pizza Da Nico!

My Mum brought a Ten Without Ham and some greetings from Da Nico - they said, "oh, that´s for Braunschweig, huh?" Guess it´s not a Ten anymore even, but they know me :-)

Driving there was a pain, though (thanks, Ingo for doing that for me!) - a looong construction site.

8.5 km to go (for us, the site is much longer):

Then 6:

Now "only" 2:

A nice idea to make it a bit less bad...

Tomorrow it´s back to work. This "holiday" is over.
I love my job, but... awww.... it´ll be dark now in the morning. No more sleeping in, up at 04:50 it is.
