April Update

The month of April has been rushing past with quite a lot of things happening, but little time to write about it - A good reason to give you all a brief update and a few more photos of our little sunshine.


The weather has been very moody. One day it is back down to almost snowy temperatures and the next it is a sunny 18 degrees. One day it is pouring down with rain and the next it is beautiful and clear.


Kerstin is now half-way through the first semester of her Technical Communication course. She is enjoying it a lot, but found the last couple of weeks rather stressful. In order to finish her assignment she had to work until 2am one night. Of course Yana wasn't very understanding and still demanded her 3am feed and Kerstin's full attention at 7:30am.


In mid-April, we had the appartment full of kiwis. Our friends Mark, Sylvia, Jo and Steve stayed with us (one couple on our couch and one in our campervan). It was great to see them again and spend a long weekend together, visiting beer gardens and eating yummy food. On the Saturday night we all went to our friends' Claudia and Jonno's wedding, where we met up with more kiwi friends - Julian and Jana.


Yana loved having so many people around to play with. She has developed immensely over the last few weeks: Her crawling speed is increasing by the day, she is now not only pulling herself up onto her knees, but also onto her feet and she has got two little teeth in her lower jaw.


Last weekend we went to a lake in the North of Munich and had a picnic with our friends Michael and Carmen. Yana was able to crawl around in the grass, which she enjoyed immensely. The weather was great and it made us look forward to summer...
