Maternal grandparents' 55th anniversary

It was like a small-scale family reunion. Very nice to see everybody again and spend a whole day together. We went for a nice long lunch and then had coffee at our place. Below some of the snapshots and also some photo album family shots ;-)


This is my whole family (mum's side). From left to right (back row): my cousins Reinhard and Wolfgang, my uncle JuKu, Markus my brother, my dad. Front row (left to right): Reinhard's pregnant girlfriend Anne (it's a girl and she's due in about three weeks!!!), my great-aunt Mini Godi, Wolfgang's girlfriend Tamara (Fabi's Mum), my aunt Helga, my mum and me. On the bench: Oma und Opa.


Reinhard - soon to be a dad - and Wolfgang, my bro and me. We don't hang out much, which is a shame because they're the only two cousins I have. Them having kids has brought us all together again, which I think is really great.


Familie Rheiner, all dresses up and in a good mood. Enjoy while it lasts....



And of course - last but not least - my godson FABI!!!! Isn't he adorable... with his little baby-tie *hihi*

This is my world at the moment... Books, books and still more books.
Studying for my English finals alone or with my study group. In my room or in the kitchen (sometimes even on the balcony!!) - that's about the only variation there is...
8/28: Translation
9/4: "Modernism" 5-hour written exam

This coming weekend my maternal grandparents celebrate their 55th (!) wedding anniversary so I will go home to Nürtingen, spend the night and celebrate my b-day (8/23) there, too.



These are the anniversary grandparents Oma and Opa Gottschling (with my godson Fabi the day before his christening).

And just for good measure, these are my father's parents, Oma und Opa Rheiner, some time in April when Sean and I went there for a short visit.
