vintage postcards
Johnny-boy drew this colorful contraption. He told me that he's the pilot and that we'll fly to Pompeii in this 'real real real fast plane!'
Here is a little Mother's Day ditty from Noah. He wrote me in German! My little chipmunk loves learning languages:)
Hooray! It was a flower and fun - filled Mother's Day!

I wish I had your son's passion for new languages at his age. Its easier learning a new language when you're young. I'm trying to learn Chinese now - its hard. I use the Pimsleur course at the moment.
Bravo to Noah for his sentiment, his linguistic ability, and his handwriting. It's better than some older kids's penmanship.
What fun mother's day gifts. Handmade with love - the very best kind!
How adorable! I enjoyed the drawing as well...I kept reading the words he wrote thinking that's not any French I know...when I read yours: it's in German! Of course! How clever! :-)
Love to you and your family, Marie Isabelle <3
Das war bestimmt eine tolle Ueberraschung! Die Schrift erinnert mich an meine Schulzeit. Habe einen schoenen Tag, Marie :)
that is so sweet a gesture
Bravo to Noah! Today languages are so important!
And bravo to Johnny for this colorful picture!
You must be so proud of your son! What a great effort specially for his Mum!
So lovely !
Happy Mother's Day and your kid is so sweet. Artistic too. Thanks for the visit Mari. Nice to know another blog around.
Yes, it's nice to keep all our children's work of arts. I keep mine too including their write-ups. That is why, I'm filled up with junk (treasures)from my children's work. That is very nice for your Noah to make that for you. One lucky Mutter here.
How fun! My Chelsea made cards for the Grandmas and me this year. She had a great time and I know I'll be keeping this one forever!
Glad you had a Happy Mother's Day!
Have an awesome Monday!
What a cool little blog you have here! Hope you had a Happy Mother's Day. Thanks for stopping by :-)
I totally agree with Robin!
The postcard made for you is lovely with a fun story too. Your son is learning German? Good for him. I will be back to read about this...interesting.
I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day...and the sun shines today too.

I love that neat handwriting! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
I love the colors in his drawing. Children have such a great eye for color. Have a great week.
That's absolutely too sweet! Happy Mother's Day , Marie.
What a smart and sweet little guy you have! :o)
Noah knows German ! I don't even know a word !
Does, johnny take passengers ? If it's as easy and fast as he says, I'd like to go to Pompeï in the next trip at the ending of May for Mother's day.
Thank you for looking through my blog, and for the nice comment you left
In German? I'm so impressed! Lovely really, really fast plane, too! :)
Oh, I loved your quirky sweet post today. That is a pretty good airplane. Good job. Loved the note too.
Hugs...Jeanne

Fascilty with language is God's gift to the young. Happy Blue Monday.

Lucky mama, lovely boy. Cherish him, as I'm sure you do, for they grow so fast.
I really like this. The colors are wonderful. Hope you had a great Mother's Day. :-)
Very nice drawing! Happy Mellow Yellow Monday:)
how very sweet!!I just loved to get handmade cards and gifts from my kids..they are now 25 and 27..and I would still prefer something they made.
Noah makes me feel like a log...I only know English..used to know a little german,but have forgotten it now.
So cute Mothers Day presents you have got !!!!
Thanks for your comment in my blog :)
What the heck? Your son is learning German? How cool! Do they speak German in Austria? The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies.
Edelweiss... Edelweiss... :)
German is not an easy language, I think he has an excellent ear .. does he like music?
Marie, I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Talented children you have! :)
Oh how very sweet! Glad you had a lovely Mother's Day. Happy blue to you...
Beautiful drawing, Marie!
About TAV, for the time being there are not the funds to build it! :-)
Happy Mother's Day! Noah sounds like quite the intelligent boy. Not only did he write words to show his appreciation for you, but I'm sure you also felt proud as you read it.
What a fun Mother's Day gift! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your Blue Monday.
Blessings,
Sandi
Thank you for the visit to my blog...and the nice comment about the blue ocean water...that I did go in while I was visiting...never thought about the sharks! Yikes....
What a wonderful Mother's Day gift. A little multi-linguist!
I've left you an award, 2009 Friendly Blogger Award at my blog, Tennessee Memories. See you there!
What an amazing young man! You must be so very proud.
That's a very clever young man you've got there.
SO sweet...it looks like a tulip lying down to me :) either way; totally cute.
Awwwwww ... that is so cute !!! :-)
I'm currently trying to learn Spanish. It's sort of by immersion, as we have so many Spanish speakers here in the US..
The drawing and poem are real treasures. What special Mother's Day remembrances for you.

Love the little card from your munchkin! What a cutie!
Those are amazing! I love the plane...
Hope you had a terrific mother's day!
That is so sweet.
What a wonderful blog you have! I'm sorry about the bruises, but that's a fun way to cover them! I wish I'd known about you when I found a lot of vintage postcards at my grandmother's house. If I come across any more, I'll send them to you and you can give them a new life!
What a lovely mothers day gift.
That much nicer than the expencive gifts from the store.

Hallo Marie,
thank you for joining my blog.
It seems, that we both have a preference for the early 20th century.
I love your vintage- postcards (and your avatar, cause I´m crazy for the muppet show)
I have a giveaway running right now. Maybe you want to join that.
And here a little note to Noah:
"Bravo, das hast du sehr gut gemacht".

Hi Marie! Thank you very much for the nice comment on my blog :) And you are from France! Our family is learning French. We started this week. I'm afraid I only know the very basics, but maybe someday I will write my comments in French. Both of your Mother's Day gifts are wonderful. Can I hop a ride on that flying machine too? I've always wanted to go to Pompeii! :)
Like Mike said, I wish I would have learned other languages when I was young, but the schools didn't even offer that until high school here. What awesome things your boys gave you! ~Lori
