Our July in Austria 2019

We love our summer days in Austria!

We arrived back in Gaming on July 2!  On July 3, I had my 36 week (& final) checkup with my OBGYN, who confirmed the baby looked great (after 36 weeks you start going to the hospital and meeting with the midwives/doctors there for your checkups).

By the 4th of July we were somewhat functional (though still a few nights a way from everyone sleeping through the night).  It was our first 4th of July NOT in the USA.  But being among the Kartause community for a celebration with our friends (American, Austrian, British, Slovakian) did NOT disappoint!

Fun relay games...







Playing with stilts...





Eating American blue jello 'salad' (they don't sell jello here)...



That weekend we headed out to Lunz am See for a great afternoon on the lake!













And then it was time to start getting ready for the baby.  Luckily "baby" Isaac is now a big boy-helper!











We've had plenty of 'home masses' (Grandma Kissinger made Isaac's new vestment, which he loooooves!!!)....



Francis taught himself (just like Ellie) how to ride a bike.  Here he is at 4 years & 2 months!



It's amazing that after 2 years on these little strider bikes (Isaac's bike this year) they learn to balance and then can just get on a big bike, with no training wheels, and ride!



Fun times at the Gaming park...

















And getting doughnuts and playing at Haubis bread factory...



Going to Zoo Stadt Haag with Brian while mom stayed home (at 39 weeks pregnant) to get ready for baby...

Now we're just waiting for NeNe (my mom) to arrive this Wednesday!
Well and waiting for baby to arrive whenever he or she chooses!! :)
