Nick's 18!! Somehow Birthday #18 was more emotional for me than all the others combined. I got teary-eyed (for the first time on a child's birthday) when Georg's dad talked about coming to the hospital 18 years before and about all Nick's good traits. So hard to believe 18 years have gone by. The first ten seemed to go by at a normal rate, but the last eight? I really don't know where they went. Nick, of course, is looking forward to the privileges 18 brings...like being able to get his German driver's license and signing for his own business. Hard to believe he just has one more year of school; he's started researching universities. He's mostly interested in German ones because in the US, he'd still have to take language, math and science classes, whereas here he can already start concentrating on what he's interested in, which right now looks to be business and marketing.
In any case, we enjoyed some champagne, fruit shortcake, zucchini bars, and oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies! And then the boys went with Omi and Opi for a week in Wegberg.
