A Day with the Merk Family

Today was a religious holiday in Germany, so all the shops were closed. Robert took Alexandra to church with Onkel Dieter, this has kind of become a tradition on the Germany trip. Typically we meet in downtown Freiburg and have some champagne after, but this time, we kept that ritual for the house. After our champagne, we all piled in the car and headed out to lunch. They eat their big meals during lunch. We were meeting Stefan, Jeannette, Charlotte and Moritz. Alexandra was very excited to see her cousin Charlotte again, and we were all excited about getting out of the cold weather and rain and enjoying a nice meal with the family. Lunch was great, the food in Germany is never a problem.

After lunch we went by Stefan's new house. They are still in the remodeling phase but it is just beautiful and we love all the old vs new charm that this house will have when it is all done. The kids took a nap and that evening we went back to Stefan's apartment for some adult fun. Anthony stayed home with Oma, Tante Heidi and Onkel Dieter. Alexandra got to play more with Charlotte, which was perfect for her.

We got a call saying Anthony would not go to sleep so we headed back to their house. It needed to be an early night for us anyway, tomorrow Robert and I are heading to Paris for some much needed relaxation.
