Santa Claus went, Jesus comes


Coming of Santa Claus was much more exciting for the second time. While I was busy with preparing the house, Krisz spent time with Dominik at her mother that evening. My unconcealed aim was to fascinate our little son and to make a pre-Xmas feeling but the best part of it is ahead. I’m sure that Dominik knows that we’re in for something great matter and goes along with the arrangements.

Cuddly Toddler





>>>>>>(This day 16 months ago.)
We’re up to the eyes in the NO-period. We can say anything – your reaction is always NO. Sometimes acceptable, sometimes unappropriate but always been said clearly and definitely and always makes me smile. The most funny situations are when you say NO upon my wish and do just the opposite of what you say. Eg. I ask you to throw something into the bin, you say NO and during saying it you start to approach the bin in answer to my request and carry out. Adorable.
So, you’re really entertaining and I adore communicating with you by the way of this new thing that we call words, meaningful words. Undoubtedly, the most often repeated word is cici (chichi). Sweet situation: I ask you in a shopping centre -What would you like to get? Your reply is -Chi-chi! in a thin voice. -Are you sure? -No… Your vocabulary develops day by day that sometimes surprises me. We saw a woman walking with a puny dog and you cried –Cica! (kit). You know the name of the fruits, animal imitative words, parts of the body and can count till two(!). You know the name of our dog and the word Heni is often pronounced by you. You say -Hapci! (tish-ho!) when somebody sneezes or you see and smell any kind of flower. You always answer to my Where are you? question shortly if you are beyond the field of view with the word Itta! (=Itt vagyok! Here I am!). The most surprising word for me is csoki (choc) because I willfully avoid each kind of sweetness. The other day you saw a bar of chocolate on the table, recognized somehow, sounded the name of it somehow, what’s more you desired it. Hats off, children have receptive mind. Very well done. You know which side of the bread is buttered. Sometimes you’re in the humour to repeat every word we say but in fact the most talkative form of you appears at home. You’re a keen observer: notice even the smallest change in the house / on me immediately. As a scrupulous person you like fidding, taking much trouble with (over-age) tiny little objects, toys. You’re orderly, put the cakes and ale you don’t need on the brink of the table or into my hand to my greatest pleasure and always want to put the tops of the objects in their place. Many chewing teeth shoot out these days which may bring forth the weakening of the immune system. This can be an explanation of getting ill two times within a month. Few days ago you were shorn of your frizzling angel hair. You outbraved the haircutting patiently, enquiringly. I felt bad about your blond curls but you are not a girl. Too many people took you to be a little lady and your Dad disapproved your hairstyle as well.
We love you very much, our little cuddly toddler.

Majtényi Erik: Októberi Szél

Hej hogy reccsen, hej hogy roppan a sok száraz ág,
hűvös őszbe, nyirkos őszbe fordul a világ.
Ha ilyenkor duhaj kedvvel nekilendülök,
és a fázó bokrok között táncra perdülök,
hogy bokázik a sok sárga zörgő falevél.
Én vagyok az, én vagyok az októberi szél.

Notes

I’m about to write for weeks. I wanted to create more new notes since my last post because there was a chain of events to mention and no time to get into shape. For example a holy mass was dedicated to grandparents, an unexpected programme change has occured, we had an extra long weekend and lived through the worst day of 2008. Summing up, all in one:
Holy Mass for Grandparents
Relatives were invited from Epöl and Esztergom to our church on a Sunday morning. The mass was offer up to the grandparents which was my mother’s brother’s idea and doings. After the mass we went to the cemetery together then we were seen with a pretty breakfast at Laci’s place.
October 21, 2008 – The Worst Day Of the Year
It gives me the shiver to think of that telephone call. The happenings horrify me and there is no day passing away without thinking of that tragedy. My best friend in primary school and her family had a car accident, it was a pile-up. Three tractor trucks, a dump truck, a truck trailer and a car crashed. Guess who was sitting in the car, guess who had no chance whatever. The father was badly wounded, the mother was desperately wounded, the 4-year-old-boy was fatally injured, the 2-year-old-boy is o.k. (spiritually injured). The mother is in coma, her brain and brainpan injury is the most serious. The burial of her son will be tomorrow, I’ll be there.
Getting home I grabbed the dust-bin to pull in (the garbage truck emptied it that day). I always look into it and I saw a black belt pouch at the bottom that time. I knew straightaway that robbery happened (somebody robbed from someone the bag and after getting the money he threw into our dust-bin) and felt that bad things were not over for that day (it never rains but it pours).
I wasn’t failed. Someone wanted to break into my parents’ house in the night (fifth time). Pure accident, my father went to the bathroom when heard the burrs, something to fall with a thump, then fiddling the door-lock. He turned the lights on, gave him a scare and the burglar broke into a run.
Programme Change
We had a 4-day-weekend (plus an extra hour because of winter time) and wanted to leave (of course with Dominik). Aquapark, visiting relatives, whatnot. Previous days: preparing, packing. The night before travelling: Dominik got ill, fever heat, stopped-up nose.

Future Plans in a Nutshell

I'm brooding over the future. There are facts that are given and alternatives to choose. I need to weight up the pros & cons, sum up the opportunities and put them in cronological order.

Fact: The company where I worked was liquidated. If I wanted to go back, I couldn't. Fortunately, I didn't have the intention of returning, although I adored that place, my job and my colleges more than I can say. I need changing. "Changing is the only steady thing" - said my tutor at the college. How true.

  • Krisz & me are dreaming about an own business for years (the car wash). We have formed the project in our mind there and back many times but the execution is still keeping us waiting for lack of capital. Very initial steps were made earlier.
  • 3L - Life Long Learning is very important and I decided the continuation of my studies even during college years. Learning with a baby might be difficult but saves expenses. I'm interested in Masters of Business Administration (MBA) specialized in Management. In case it is with not the same conditions as earlier, I'm afraid we couldn't husband our resources. (Most people's further studies are financed by their companies because the tuition fees are extremely high, especially as for the second degree.) I need to go round this question some more.
  • We'd like to have a second baby by the time Dominik will turn 3, so I don't think to make a career as a womanager in the next few years... :-) I want to spend the most time possible with my little son.

DREAM-SOLUTION would be:

  1. to sit in the school-desk a.s.a.p. (once in 2 weeks) while working on the car wash
  2. to earn the second degree by the time the second baby comes
  3. to establish the car wash and when things are going well to employ workers
  4. to look for a part-time job after the age of 3 of the younger baby - not for living but as a hobby
TILL THEN AND ALWAYS my mission is: to make my husband and son happy, satisfied, bellyful, spotless; to provide a hygienic, tidied, warm home; to organize the social life; to take care of them

One More Round Number This Year

Füzesgyarmat & Köröstarcsa


My godmother's birthday was what we celebrated last weekend. We spent a few days in the country. While the male members were soaking themselves in the local spa, we were making long walks in the springlike sunshine and experinced the joys of the countryside. We visited long-seen relatives in an other little country village where Dominik had a playmate of the same age.

Kányádi Sándor: Jön az ősz

Jön immár az ismerős,
széllábú deres ősz.
Sepreget, kotorász,
meg-megáll, lombot ráz.
Lombot ráz, diót ver,
krumplit ás, szüretel.
Sóhajtoz nagyokat, s harapja,
kurtítja a hosszú napokat.

Wedding, again

The Proposal
The Civil Ceremony
Church Wedding
Here is the picture comparison I promised (and in a little while some more photos of the special day of Ancsa and Lajos containing the guests, the ceremony at the registry, at the church and the dinner party). The young couple lives in perfect harmony for a month, they've just came back from their honeymoon (from Turkey) which wasn't as sweet as expected because they both had an indigestion.
1- Posing in front of the Mayor's Office
2 - Tableau in front of the Mayor's Office
3 - Tableau in front of the church
4 - Cutting the cake
5 - Light up the candle
6 - Under God
7 - Young wives & husbands
8 - Throwing the bouquet
9 - Coming out of the church




























Summer comes to an end. Although the sun goes low, days are much shorter, evenings and mornings are chilly, we have record hot days in these days.

Dominik and me were invited to the local community center in connection with the Day of Breastmilk. We got a gift parcel and a memorial certificate which says that is for "the mother who chose breastfeeding as lifestyle not as duty". There is another acknowledgement which is from my mother who is very proud of me/us. This is due to Dominik as well.

The Wedding Album

Fésűs Éva: Vidám nyárutó

Augusztusban már a nyár
kissé őszben sántikál.
Ábrándozik, nem nevet,
falevelet festeget.

Körte pottyan, totyakos,
már a sün is pocakos,
Folton-folt a káposzta,
kofa viszi városba.

Dinnye feje szép kerek,
olyan okos, szétreped!
Nyuszi füle nagyra nőtt,
ha leül is, látni őt.

Szóló szőlő kilenc tő,
őrzi madárijesztő.
Széna, szalma, félkalap,
aki látja, elszalad!

Just Married

I know that many of you are very curious to see some pictures of the young couple. You must be satisfied with the ones I took as a maid of honour – temporarily.
Man would think that day of his wedding promises to be very long but in fact it’s too short even in case of overnight merrymaking. Why aren’t we able to be in many places at the same time? So many people to speak with, so many once-in-a-lifetime moments to snap, so many opportunities not to be missed. The wedding car was our black Peugeot 407 Coupe with pink flower decoration on hood which was the dominant colour of the wedding. Pictures were taken in the garden of the castle of Martonvásár, in a nearby town. The words of the registrar at the Mayor’s Office and the priest at the church reminded me of our big day and the oath we made. Everything went with a swing. Funny actions entertained the guests during the dinner-party. The most touching part of the night met the greatest success: the film that was shown ancient photos first from the childhood of Ancsa and Lajos then photos after getting know each other and finally photos of that day.
I’m going to publish some pictures by the photographer next time and going to make a picture comparison between the weddings of the Filler-girls.

"Mr One-Year-Old Sweetie"

(quoted from Nancy Lassu)

We’ve timed our holiday in such a way that we’re back by Dominik’s birthday. I’m meditating if this first year was a short or a long one. Sometimes I feel that Dominik was always the part of our life, sometimes I hardly believe that we’re parents, irrevocably. Let’s see what happened and did not happened by the age of one year:
- toddling with support, no independent steps yet; safer and faster on all fours
- no nipple and the only thing drinking from a bottle is water
- still nursing
- not a single separated night
- having eight teeth
- supposedly the age of defiance and sulking opened

Our customes for the wedding will be perfect regarding the general effect which is important for me. My first happiness was that I managed to get a pretty footwear being exactly to my taste which is totally the same colour like my dress-to-be (still being sewed). Krisz has specially made shoes and belt which had for the occasion made on the basis of the cloth of my dress. His shirt and tie go very well with my dress. Dominik’s waistcoat is made of the textile of my dress and he’ll wear white trousers like his father. Can’t wait to put the gala dress on. Can’t wait to celebrate and to meet long-seen relatives.

Go Turkey!

We returned from our first common vacation which is said to be as a milestone in the process of becoming a real family. We’re entitled to say that it was indeed and was a milestone in many other respects. A holiday with a little one is the greatest fun.
It was time for playing self-forgetting, for father & son to get even closer to each other. I wasn’t afraid of travelling with Dominik, he is an angelic good little boy with an angelic patience, we are able to go with him anywhere. He exceeded all expectations and adapted himself to the occasion, what’s more he tought some adults manners. In spite of the great heat (appr. 45 degrees centigrade) he behaved very well, ate very well (I took him everything from home + the breast with me), slept very well (is better baby required?), was interested in other children very much and enjoyed splashing in the sea, under the shower and in the pool as well.
Our hotel was situated in the town of Incekum (means fine sand) near Alanya and was full of banana plantations. We were about to get tanned before my sister’s wedding, but we had to sunbathe with the greatest possible care as regard Dominik’s sensitive baby-skin. We avoided being outdoor in the noonday hours (from 11 AM to 4 PM), used hat and suntan lotion with high SPF number and make him drink a lot of water. There were lovely summer houses on the beach as a shelter from the hot sun.
Turkish people are really friendly and hospitable and adore children. Turkish cooking, Turkish bath, Turkish delight, Turkish fancyshops, (flying carpet, "Aladdin-pump"…) are famous worldwide. Hungarian and Turkish language show some similarity, some same words (anyway, I rather used English) of which reason is in history. See the 150 years of Ottoman Rule, the occupation of Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries. One of our Turkish guide noted funnyly that the soup was delicious in Eger (Hungarian women threw boiling water up over the Turkish men climbing the wall of the fortress of Eger). The joy of getting back is full as fantastic as the holiday itself. Home, sweet home!
