Spring 2008

It's getting a little warmer now and the whole family is delighted that we don't look like rolling Michelin men anymore.

Our garden has also gotten a grooming from the garderners. They spent 2 days weeding, cutting and pruning. Besides tulips, I also learnt that I've got gooseberries, strawberries, roses, sage, majoram and peppermint growing in my garden. We spotted animal life in the pond. The boys love looking at the water lizards, spiders and snails.

We've also managed to take little excursions. A memorable one was to Mainau Island in Konstanz, Germany. The flowers on the island were breathtaking. There was also a kids' playground and train track. The circus has also come to town. Circus Knie, the Swiss national circus, was the very first real circus experience for all of us. The boys were thrilled with the animals while daddy and mummy liked the acrobatic acts.

Here are some pictures. Hoping that everyone is keeping well.
