After a fantastic Christmas in England January went very slowly and then February rushed by!  Now we're at the beginning of March and there is still snow on the ground but we're hoping that spring will come soon!  We are looking forward to spending some time out in the garden and in the park.  Jessica had her first swing last weekend and loved it!

We have had a very busy time since we last wrote but things are a lot quieter now and after having changed the clocks last weekend and having our first snow this week it really feels like winter is on it's way :o(  We have been busy this weekend transplanting shrubs, planting bulbs and putting the garden to bed for the winter.

Some information about German Christmas markets.  We're looking forward to taking Jessica to her first one.

Where is the year going?! It's September already!

Jessica is now ten weeks old and our lives since we last wrote have been dominated by getting to know her. She was very unsettled at first and had lots of problems with colic but with help from the midwife we have found a medicine that helps and she is so much happier now. She has changed completely and has the most amazing smile. She has always been fairly good at night and after a feed goes straight back to sleep with no problems. She is now establishing a daytime routine and goes back to bed during the day with no problem. She weighs 5100 g / 11.24 lbs and is eating well.
