Counting the days

... until we have our first visitors. Mike and Lene are flying in next Wednesday and we are really looking forward to seeing them again. Then every two days more family will fly in. One week later we will take off for our Christmas vacation to Austria. YEEEESSS! I am checking the weather and webcams daily and at least by now Katschberg has some snow and skiing is possible. Thankfully the last couple of "wet" days were adding to it. Holzkirchen got only rain and slush, no snow yet! But just 10 minutes south from here at Janni and Bernd's house the kids could experience the cold stuff. Work is not as bad as last week. Some xmas meetings got canceled because too many people are sick with colds, flu and swine flu. That buys me some extra time and I even got to work out today.
