Ella's first solids



Here's the very first time Ella gets to taste some solid food. 
Being just 5 months young Mum started easy with some rice cereals. 
Hmmm, not too sure if Ella likes the idea ......

Ella

Finally, after such a long wait, there she is: another little girl. And what a surprise she has for us: dark hair and dark eyes! The longer we look at her, the less sure we are of the exact colour of her eyes. Is it brown, dark blue or even dark green? Her birth was in many ways similar to Nora’s one. This time it took 12 hours (who says the second one is easier?!?) The baby was almost two weeks late and had to be induced.  We did so early in the morning in the small countryside hospital of Mt Barker.  After a couple of hours the contractions really took off, and Mikaela got her epidural. Then things slowed down again, and it was not until nightfall when showtime started. A couple of tough and stressful hours followed of hard labour and a stubborn baby that just would not come down.  Assisted by some of the best midwifes in the business, Mikaela pushed herself beyond all limits. She was the hero of the day. She finished it almost completely on her own, but jus...

Swedish Girls

The great thing about having visitors from overseas is that we get to be tourist ourselves. Thanks to the sisters Susan and Annika from Sweden we have been touring around, finding more and more new places close to home that we hardly knew existed. South Australia is a big place, and there is plenty to explore. And on top of that they provided us with an excuse to go on a long weekend to Sydney. Although Jan had been there many times for work, this was the first time that we actually got to see the city. And let us assure you this: it is just awesome. The Sydney Harbor is one of the most spectacular views you will ever see, with the world famous Harbour Bridge and Opera House. See for yourselves on our pictures . Another advantage of having Swedish girls around is of course that they could take good care of us. Mikaela’s pregnancy is into the sixth month now. She’s going great, but things are getting gradually heavier. And since after his operation Jan hasn’t been of much use, the girl...

Touchdown

Yes, we are finally there. This morning around 6 AM we touched down at Adelaide airport in Australia. A big milestone for us, although it felt pleasantly relaxed. In the early morning sun, under clear skies, it was almost as if we were coming home. Which in fact was true. The Australian customs though were less impressed. Paranoid as they are for any overseas food, dirt or animal diseases, they searched our bags rigorously. And not without success. With great satisfaction her majesties elite squad found something extremely illegal, which had to be confiscated immediately: our electric fly swat (you know, a tennis racket on batteries to kill mosquitos). Followed of course by some extensive paperwork, with many stamps and autographs. Yes, the country clearly escaped today from a major threat ;-) After this last hurdle of Australian bureaucracy, we had a very warm welcome by a lady from the Meet and Greet service. This former South African woman helped us getting started today with bank a...
