After 2 1/2 months in America, it’s time to lose some weight! So, I’ve set a goal: lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday (October 31, 2010). I’ve got a strategy: P90X fitness program along with some good old fashion jogging (getting ready for this 10K). Plus, I have the world greatest workout partner: my… [Read more…]

Monday was a first for the Sanner family: Dermabond! That’s right, Sofia had to get her head glued back together after falling off a chair. Ouch!

I’ve learned most of my important life lessons from cartoons. Case in point: I don’t need to know where I’m goin’, I just need to know where I’ve been. – Mater (from the movie “Cars”) Okay, well… I don’t know if that is always true, but it is a fitting quote for today’s post: the… [Read more…]

Sofia (Sofia = Sofoula = Foula… her Greek nickname) is getting so big. Really! * She runs. * She tries to jump (it’s the cutest thing ever, even though she doesn’t get off the ground). * She talks (mom, dad, eat, sit, bird, hot, cold, yes, no, NO!). * She has conversations (?) and imaginary… [Read more…]

Praying Friends - Sing a song, dance a jig, or just holler into the sky… however you can, join us in praising God! We paid another visit to the specialist this week.

Hi all - Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! On Friday, we visited a specialist for an initial scan of the baby. The doctor confirmed the presence of the cysts.

Praying Friends - Would you join us in prayer? We visited the doctor yesterday for a sonogram. Kristin is just over 17 weeks along. The doctor detected two large cysts in the cranium.

In two weeks, we’re moving into a new apartment (see here). We’re excited about the move! We’ll have more space and more conveniences (e.g. an elevator in which Sofia’s stroller actually fits!). Also, we’ll still be in the city proper, and able to enjoy all the associated amenities (e.g. near public transportation, supermarkets, and entertainment).… [Read more…]

Movin’ on up… to the east side. Well, it may not be an apartment in the sky, but we’re moving! Monday I paid the deposit on our new apartment: a three-bedroom flat in the Ellinoroson neighborhood of Athens (about a ten minute walk north of our current locale). It’s near the Metro (Katehaki station), supermarkets,… [Read more…]
