Autumn visitors

This autumn we had two groups of visitors: Our friends Nick and Clare, and Kerstin's sister with her family.

With Nick and Clare we drove to Bath for a day, where we met up with our friends Matt and Jo, had a yummy lunch, looked around the city and ate yummy cookies at a cafe.

The Bath Abbey.

Nina, Philip, Oscar and Alexander stayed with us for a week. We showed them our day-to-day life and took them to the Cotswold village of Burford. Additionally they went on a couple of day trips on their own to London and Bath.

Our two little cuties

Here are a few recent photos of our two little cuties:

This is currently the best babysitter for Yana: Getting her to "do the dishes". She usually ends up with wet clothes, but it is well worth it and she has a great time.

Yana is learning all about the techniques of shaving. Let's hope she won't have to use them.

Anya is still spening a lot of time sleeping...

...but she has more and more wake-phases, in which she makes cute noises...

...and smiles at us. Finally we are being rewarded for our hard work.
