Young Augustins in Deutschland

Thanks to cousin Britta Augustin in Germany, a faithful blog reader, for these charming photos of her niece and nephew, Sophie and Marvin Augustin, the children of Britta's brother, Bernd, and his wife, Katrin. Sophia will be 7 on June 14; Marvin is 4. They live in Ruschwedel, Germany. (As blog readers know, Grandma Sprick's maiden name was Augustine; the "e" got added to a legal document by mistake and it would have cost $40 to correct it, so the family let it stand. But originally, the name was Augustin.)
