Staub - Dust!
This is the big mess that happens when one does the sanding of new drywall.
Hinten wurde das dazumale Büro in zwei kleinere Zimmer geteilt: ein winziges Zimmer zum schlafen (oder Gästezimmer) und ein grösseres Büro. Hier hatte ich den Staub aufgewischt und dann noch gestaubsaugt.
At the back of the house there used to be an office. This space has now been divided into two smaller rooms. The smaller of the two will function as a bedroom (tiny!) and the other as our office. Hier I've had a chance to clean up already. Priming, then subfloor, then painting, then move in...um...March? I think we're aiming to get it done for March..
Hair - Haar
I also have some frizzy curl on top, which is sticking up in all directions...
The hair at the nape of my neck is almost long enough to tie a nice pink ribbon around it...imagine, my first ponytail!
Who knows what my hair will look like after this falls out and grows back later...
Wie gefällt Euch mein Haar? Ich habe zwar eine Glatze, oder mehrere Glatzen, und hier oben am Kopf stehn sie mir in alle Richtungen ab. Unten, ja, da kann ich ja fast ein Pferdeschwänzchen zusammenbinden, mit einer schönen, rosa Schleife...und was meint ihr wegen der Haarfarbe? Fast siehts so rötlich aus...wer weiss wie es dann später aussehen wird!

Sonja's hair - Sonjas Haar
Gumpe, gumpe...
Exhausted children
This happened after Benjamin's first day of Casa Montessori (ages 3-6). He was upgraded from the Toddler group. Although the classroom, teachers and kids were not completely unfamiliar (his toddler teacher had him visit for a couple of weeks prior to upgrading), it is a pretty big change for him, now being the youngest child there. But he likes it a lot, he is happy, and looks forward to going there every morning. BUT, when he comes home, boy is he tired....so tired that he falls asleep on the couch...

Schlittschuh laufen - Skating!
Andrej bought this thing to help Ben learn how to skate. He is slowly getting more comfortable, first walking, then on the ice. Andrej has to hold him from behind. Usually they take advantage of the two outdoor rinks we have in the neighbourhood, but there are plenty of arenas too. Yesterday apparently he went around the rink twice before requesting a break!

Sonja - 2.5 months
Natürlich kann sie noch nicht sitzen, aber so gehts eigentlich ganz gut, wenigstens für 5 Minuten oder so...
