The Moonlight sonata

Ah, the home of Beethoven, Bonn, Germany. The gang ventured up to Bonn via the great trains of Germany, and we had a great time soaking up both culture and beer (we found a great Irish pub, see below). Here are Madeleine and Sadie in front of the home of the great master along with a picture of Maddy and I in front of the very room Beethoven was born! As you can see Madeleine and Sadie were their usual jovial selves as we took in the sights.....but all this culture and beer (or milk in this case) makes a baby girl tired, so now it is nap time. Fun times had by all!!

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet..

It's about time!!! The sun has been shining here in Germany and we have been enjoying it to the fullest. Last weekend, we took a nice long walk on the Main river and later enjoyed some time in

the playground, it was great. When the sun finally appeared it felt like it had been a year since the last time we saw it. Wait, it had been a year!!

Anyway, it's a welcome change. Madeleine has been making ventures into "real" food and currently she is working on crawling. It's funny, she has been moving her arms and legs in a crawl-like motion for a long time (as if she was trying to crawl) but she just couldn't put it all together, this is quckly changing....looks like she might crawl any day now.
