3 Birthdays is one Weekend

I just got around to uploading photos from a weekend heavily loaded with birthdays which we attended.

On Saturday afternoon we were at Celina Schwab's second birthday. Celina is Liam's cousin once removed, or the daughter of Heike's niece, depending on how you want to look at it.

We then went on to Gisela Birnstihl's 70th birthday (this is also where I filmed Liam speeding around on his bike).

On Sunday afternoon (after an eventful climbing wall session with Richard Schlenk) we were in Oftersheim for the Seel family Grillfest, ostensibly celebrating Michael's birthday, but also Emil's christening. I'm guessing that there were about 15 kids under the age of 5 (or maybe it just seemed that many because they were so dynamic) which was both exhausing and great fun. The most popular attraction for the kids was naturally the water in the form of a pump and trough in front of the grill hut. Michael's father kindly assisted those children present to splash around, and hence test the limits of clothing changes which their parents had brought :-)

Just posted some pictures from Heike's birthday last week

Heike celebrated her birthday last Saturday night (we waited until midnight to congratulate). I got a few pictures of Liam together with his 2-month-younger cousin Celina, as well as his aunt Tina.

It starts off serious

but pretty soon there were laughs all round

and in no time both kids were in fits of laughter, glad to have the attention they so obviously deserve :-)

Celina and Liam

On Saturday Heike's aunt and cousins visited from Obervolkach, and the Schwab family congregated at her brother Harald's house. I used this opportunity to take a few pictures of Liam and his cousin Celina, they look really cute together.
The full set of pictures can be found in the Photo Gallery.
