Bits of Germaneness at home

My German in-laws have arrived on late Wednesday. To me having his parents at home feels like bringing a whole candy store to my own house.

I was little worried about the new dynamic with little roo in hand... but they are so sweet and thoughtful... everything has been a very smooth sail so far.

Here are some snapshots around the house!

my father-in-law already claimed a little corner in our backyard. so glad to see our big (but empty) yard is getting some use as a part of the big Burning Man trip preparation!

They brought us the "real" hot chocolate. I can easily drink a cup of sweet hot chocolate for summer breakfast.

Of course... a loaf of German bread made it through the security check.

my mother-in-law really wanted to help us clean the windows so she brought her own trusted tools to work with! Made in German "non-plastic" squeegee and an industrial strength solution.
