Endless winter

It's early March and although there are signs of spring, it doesn't seem to improve significantly. We're depressed ... can't stand another damp and cold day on a muddy playground and we're fed up with all the indoor play options as well.

The big news is that we're going to be moving at the end of the month. We're leaving our house in Morden and rented something in Sunbury-on-Thames. It's closer to Rodrigo's work, so his commute will be more pleasant. Also, we needed to leave because our street was so noisy. So all good things. The bad thing is we need to find a new nursery for Jessi - a shame since she likes this one so much - and we're also further away from our friends. Not too far though, so we won't lose touch completely.

We haven't taken many pictures lately as we're so uninspired by the weather and we haven't had any holidays either because of the impending move. Once it's all done and over with we can start the planning though.

Jessica is talking more and more ... she still loves her piggy, she is doing well in nursery and apparently has a talent for painting as she does it all the time. She also like cooking and tries to help whenever we let her (it's messy though, let me tell you!)

Below some pictures ... from softplay, one of Jessi's pieces of art, the gang...

Happy New Year 2011!

We had a fabulous Christmas vacation in Germany and Switzerland with Oma Rosi and Aunt Margrit. The first white Christmas in a loong time - it was picture perfect. We went sledding with Jessica and even though it was quite a fast ride, she enjoyed it very much and wasn't scared.

Iggy Sam & Lelli

Jessica's favorite TV show these days is "Iggy Sam" ... as she calls it(=Fireman Sam). Dont know why she loves it so much, but it's the first word she says when she wakes up. Maybe it has something to do with her favorite toy, her little Piggy. Also she's been cooking jello with Papa ... she calls it Lelli.

Today first pipi in the potty!

This evening Jessica said to me - as so often recently - "pipi!!".... I had to run downstairs to get the potty, so I told her to hold it. I came back ... she sat on it .... and then she made her first pipi ever in the potty. Hurrah!

... is hot ....

Jessica's trademark expression these days ... wheather it's hot or cold ... "is hot" she says in a whiny voice - all the time. Of course, at the moment we have Rodrigo's family over from Mexico which is great fun. We've done a lot of sightseeing, went to Brighton, Windsor and Central London.
