Food, snow & beach

The past two days were characterized by the typical activities at Christmas: A lot of eating, playing games and playing with the presents, sleeping and not doing much else. Jakob was probably the most active of all of us as he was permanently in motion, attempted countless sit-ups, stood up with help of an adult and improved his balance and skills to sit upright. An ideal position to play with the wood bricks that he received as gifts. The young carrots, which Jakob has now every day for lunch, are helping him getting all that energy. Not only that our young one is now safe to sit upright, but he also has made a big move in growth which we realized in the fact that some of his trousers have become too short. Jakob has reached now a length of 70 cm while his weight has moved slightly above 8 kg.

Got no milk, but carrots

As Markus still has not fully recovered from his cold he had to skip the snowshoe tour to Balderschwang, which he was very much looking forward to. Flo has organized this tour of ca. 4 hours uphill, which was rewarded with the apparent best Kaesespaetzle – we always thought Heidi would be responsible for them? - at the top of the mountain. For Monday our agenda foresees packing a couple of backpacks for a trip to Thailand – Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Tao and probably some other destination by the sea. Unfortunately it’s not us, who are going, but Sandra and Flo who leave for almost three weeks on Tuesday night. We are jealous, but in a few years we are going to do the tour again. Hopefully.

Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
