Looking back at 2012

The older you get, the faster time goes - well, some people say it flies. And I think that is true. I never understood that saying as a kid when an afternoon waiting for my favorite show to start on TV lasted forever.
But definitely since I have kids now the time goes by faster and faster every day and I have to remind myself sometimes, to stop, breath and take in all the good things that I have around me. And cherish the moment. Here are some of our most fun, most exciting, most memorable moments of 2012!

January
We decided to move to Austria. We packed up our house in Nashville and said good bye to many good friends.






February
Lilly turned 1 and we celebrated very low key in our already empty house in Nashville. We celebrated Valentines on our last day in Nashville and spent a few days in Wilbraham before flying to Austria. And we spent our first day in Alberschwende on "Funkasunntag".








March
Finn started his new "school" called Spielgruppe and we went to Marc's and Rachel's wedding in Schröcken. First haircuts for both kids.






April
We celebrated Easter in a snow storm and found a wonderful inhouse daycare spot for Lilly.



May
The kids are going to swim class, which they love. And on the weekends we are exploring Vorarlberg.



June
Ben and I went to Dublin for his birthday.



July
Summer in Austria! We got to spend lots of great times with my extended family. And Ben and I went to the Opera on the lake (in the rain).





August
We went to the US to visit Ben's family and we got to spend a wonderful week on Cape Cod.
And I started working for Institut für Marketing again = happy mama!



September
We went to a little island in Italy on vacation - just the 4 of us!





October
We took Finn on the nighttrain to Vienna and had a great time visiting the "dinosaur museum". We also celebrated Finn's birthday with lots of family and friends. And hosted Halloween im Näpfle!




November
Ben and I went to Porto for my birthday. And we had our first snow of the season.





December
Barbara came to visit Austria and we had a fun Nikolausweek with her. We also got to see the rest of the family in the US.
