Mommy mommy mommy mommy. Daddy daddy daddy daddy. I think these are the only two words that Emma knows this week. Doesn’t even ask for anything. I think she just likes calling us to make sure we are paying attention to her. 😂🤪
We are a bit late to the party, but we finally got around to watching The Greatest Showman a few weeks ago. The movie was good and I enjoyed it. But I’m loving the soundtrack. I have been playing it a good bit ever since.
We got an M1 MacBook Pro at work as a test device and I’m getting to tinker with it. So far I’m really enjoying it. Having a few issues working in Xcode with our project, due to some dependencies. Running it in Rosetta fixes some of it at least.
Our daughter has a small cowlick in the front of her hair and it kind of swirls. It makes it challenging for me to brush. I made a comment about this to Shannon and Emma, whose 3, chimes in and tells me that I might need to read the instructions. 😂
After a freezing winter, the past couple of weeks have been down to -13C, today was beautiful. The temperature got up to 17C and was like a heat wave. After being stuck inside for so long, we decided to venture out to take a walk and get some fresh air. We ventured down to the Alt Stadt area to walk along the Rhine and explore a bit.
We tried to be as careful as possible, but there were more people out than I had expected, given that most things are closed. I guess that everyone else had the same idea, after being cooped up for weeks and months during the cold and just wanted to get out and get some sun.
Celebrating my birthday now will forever be bittersweet. However, this year I guess that I am supposed to learn the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. So, there’s that. 😬
Emma asked me to play with her and when I asked what she wanted to play, she said church. We then had to set up some of her toys as the congregation and Daddy Pig was the pastor. 😂
I love her creativity. 🥰
Watched church service on YouTube this morning. When it was over, Emma(3) says, “Yay, I like that show.” 😍
I had planned to do more writing at the beginning of the year. I had thought that would be here on my blog. Instead, I revived my journaling and have been pleased that I have a pretty good streak going. This is the most consistent that I’ve been for a long time.
I do still want to write more on the blog, but I’m still pleased at this start.
It was a nice morning waking up to some snow. Building a snowman and making snowballs was so much fun. 🥰
I have been very slack on keeping up with my email. Letting my inbox get a bit out of control again. Taking a few minutes to sit down and triage and get it back in order is kind of refreshing.
Praying for a peaceful end to this.
I shouldn’t be surprised about what is happening in D.C. right now, but I really can’t believe that this is actually happening. This is like a coup attempt to try and steal power just because you don’t like the outcome of the vote.
I know that sidebars on iPad are not new, but I really like the updated sidebar behavior and design in iOS 14. The more that I see it used, it makes seeing a tab bar on the iPad look outdated.
Happy new year. 🎊🎈
Wir wünschen euch einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. 🙂
Merry Christmas everyone.
Frohe Weihnachten

I think that this year is officially the year of pajamas. Or at least for pajama pants or sweat pants. It’s safe to say that I’ve worn this for about 90% of the year. 😬
I can’t believe that this year is almost over. It has felt like a blur.
Such a fun surprise gift from work. @Lifeattrivago
I like to read up on coding topics, specifically iOS related. One thing I need to do more of is practicing those topics in some form to reinforce what I’m learning. #mbnov
