WRITING FROM : GERMANY

Just another manic Monday doesn’t quite sum today up! This marks the third work day that I’ve kept Grey home because of what seems to be a base-wide stomach virus. It’s been a long five days! None the less, another snowy weekend means another German Christmas market!

Teylor and I had grand plans of going to our favorite Christmas markets, in Cologne, on Friday, but the stomach virus going around had different plans for us. Teylor was sick Thursday night into Friday which pretty much tanked our weekend plans.

Luckily, on Sunday he was feeling well enough to venture out. So we went to a market I’ve been wanting to visit since we moved here- St. Wendel! I’m definitely going to do a separate post specifically about this market because we really loved it (for the two hours we were there)!

And since it’s 7:30 pm and I’m just getting around to writing today’s Monday Rendezvous I’m keeping it short!

THE HAPPENINGS & GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET SCOOP

• I really hate stomach bugs, and have cleaned everything in hopes that Greyson and I don’t get it!

• Grey’s Anatomy and lots of Pedialyte is 100% the way to cure a stomach virus

• I’m super thankful that we got to go to St. Wendel since it’s only one weekend each year and we’ve missed it the past two years

• Folks at St. Wendel weren’t nearly as fascinated with my wine tumbler as other markets (dang it!)

• If the day ever comes that I cannot find a bear suit in Greyson’s size I’m just going to cry. I love bear suits on him so much! (They suit him)

• My feet changed sizes after pregnancy… so now I have a pair of snow boots that are too big, and a pair that is too small. Which wasn’t helpful at all for this extremely snowy weekend!

• Grey came face to face (separated by a fence) with reindeer and loved it! He thought they were dogs and definitely wanted to take one home 😉
