Everyone told us that our kids’ childhoods would go by in a flash, but we never quite believed them. The photos in this book were taken during the first hundred days of our twins' lives to capture their development from day to day.

The pictures of the sky were taken to freeze a moment in time, to convey the atmosphere of Cologne—the children’s and our home—during those first months. In other words, they’re souvenirs of our kids' new world.
