We (Kasimir-age 4 and Dartagnan-age 2) want to give our Mama her own song on her birthday (Dec 14). We want to tell her how much we love her and miss her when she frequently travels. We hope she will listen to it and think of us when she is away. We know she misses her muskateers too. Here are some random tendrils of info about Mama and us in no particular order...

She is from Pforzheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. That's in the black forest. Us boys and papa (Amal) live with her in Washington, DC.

She has blue eyes, is pretty, and nice.

She travels all over the world for work, mostly to places that end in -stan like kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, kazakstan, tajikistan, turkmenistan, afghanistan, pakistan, etc! She's been just about everywhere though.

She has an unplaceable accent in English, Irish? Canadian? Huh? But speaks French like a Parisian, her native tongue is German, knows Latin, Mandarin, and some Hindi and Russian.

Papa is originally from India, but grew up in Oklahoma. Kasimir has chocolate brown hair, but Dartagnan somehow got coppery !RED! hair.

Mama and papa were married in india. They had an elephant in their wedding.

Mama likes cruncy cucumbers, cappuccinos, smelly goat cheese, and the pop hits of the eighties.

She drives a big black truck (Landcruiser) AKA "th penguin killer"

Mama has a pet cockatiel named Bijou(F) who is 10 years old now.

Mama loves to go the the Korean spa, especially without us!

Mama loves to fly Lufthansa, is a Miles and More Senator, and is secretly fanatasing about becoming a Hon. That's when they pick you up at the airplane in your own Mercedes limo!

Mama doesn't like to wait in line, anywhere!

Mama helped Papa restore our little classic mahogany speedboat, Katmandu. We like to cruise the potomac on nice weekends with her. Mama says she has had many adventures on the water with Papa capitaining Katmandu. She doesn't much like waves and often calls Katmandu a "Nußschale" nutshell.

She's a former competitive swimmer, jokes about having webbed feet, and is a natural born snow-skier.

She loves the beach, especially around Charleston, SC.

She's into photography and loves to take photos of everyone except herself.

We all like to go the telescope park on clear friday nights and gaze into the heavens with our telescope and nerdy friends.

Sometime Mama bakes things for us. The cakes and cookies always look great. She tends to leave out the sugar and butter, so, we mostly we like to take her to the german bakery!

Mama plans great parties for us, she makes all the food, does the decorations, invitations, and even made Dartagnan a Lady-bug costume for our Halloween party! She's a real super mom!

We're trying to convince her to let us have a puppy!
