There is still more sleeping than wakefulness, which the rest of the family is enjoying very much. We are still waiting for things to change, while hoping they don’t.

Here are some recent pics from the last few weeks. We also headed down to Port Fairy for the folk festival, Cosmo has some pics of that journey.

We did find time to stop off at a café on the way, hot chocolates and raisin toast…

Let’s see how sleep goes tonight.

While they were there, it was time for visits and various jobs, like having a first bath.

Here are some of the pics from their time in hospital.

Plenty of visitors today, the most excited was Big Brother Cosmo.

Here are some more picks from day one. I left for home with an exhausted Mumma and little sister, resting in each others arms.

In German (and perhaps other languages), whenever i and e are together, the second letter is the one that you take to sound from.

For example, ‘Steiner’ is Sty-ner, whereas Mieke is, mee-ka.
