Its all in the Family

Trip to Luxembourg

Luxembourg was a 2hr drive from where we stay so we had been wanting to go there for a long time.Eventually a friend and his family were going there to see the christmas markets so they invited us to accompany them.As we were all getting in the cars..everyone checked their passports.Here in Europe some countries do check for passports as you are entering their country.Guess it was one of their normal procedures.Anyway..we remembered that we had forgotten ours at home so we had to all drive towards the direction of our house which is like 30-40 mins away from our friends.Got our passports and we were good to go.Luxembourg to my understanding was a very small country and you could actually walk from one end of the city to another in a day.Of cause i had to see this for myself.We got there @ about 3pm. Seems like some things were written in French while others were in German.We found out they these were the official languages of Luxembourg.The spoken language of the majority of the population was Luxembourgish.
We enjoyed ourselves walking around their christmas markets.Some of the things were really interesting like boiled wine.Dress styles were not that different from that of Germany.

Transitioning from his baby car seat to a big boy one

A friend of ours gave us their carseat to use as they were planning to buy a booster one for their daughter who apparently was way too old for the one they had.This car seat was too fancy for us as it was made in Japan and had all these buttons everywhere. As of today i still get confused with what to do with them.It would have helped if the instructions were in english or if i knew Japanese.Of cause thats why you have husbands around.Seems like this was his field to me. Moving on,William loved the carseat.He was all smiling..he even pushed his old car seat away..i think he was playing but we saw it as a way of growing up. He was definetly ready for the big one.
