mail time

Grace, currently one of your favorite activities to do with me is to sort the mail into the different flat's mail slots. The mail gets shoved through the front door slot on to the floor in the foyer of our building.     I wonder if anyone else ever sorts our building's mail when we're gone. Or does everyone waist the same amount of time searching through the pile for their name and flat #? 

We received two very important letters in the mail last week. The first was the Spitzer's baby announcement. Welcome to the world, Quinn Bitting Spitzer! You were born into an amazingly loving family on August 8th, 2011 at 1:23 AM. 9 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches! I hear you are having a blast with your big brother, Brock and bigger sister, Audrey. We can't wait to meet you in person once we move back to the states. Skype just isn't the same. xoxo

Our second piece of important mail was a wedding invitation addressed to the entire family. Grace, the first wedding you were invited to and will attend is the wedding for your Aunt Libbie and future-Uncle Matt. It was a simple and elegant wedding invitation. Ripping it open and reading it aloud to you, made me even more excited to go home in November for the big event. We're counting down the days... 48 more to go! xoxo 

One of the best feelings is seeing a piece of mail with Nierengarten written across it. Since it isn't a frequent event, I even get excited when it's an advertisement. It's amazing the small amount of junk mail you receive when you move to a new country.
