Dad here. Today is Zoe, Kiron and Gabriele's last day in Germany. Monday they fly back to London and spend two nights with Shiv before flying back home. Hooray! I've missed them and am glad they're coming home. By all reports, they've had a great time in Germany. Everybody loves playing with Zoe. Dagmar says she's going to keep her!

Earlier this week, from Sunday, they were in Munich, visiting Monika & Winfred as well as Bodo and Jurgen (I think both the boys were there). While they were they, they went into the city so that Zoe could see Marienplatz and the Glockenspiel. They were in Munich until Wednesday.

Back in Frieburg, Zoe was definitely the centre of attention. Apparently if someone holds here up, she can take a few steps! So her legs are getting stronger. I wonder if she'll walk before she crawls? Her eating pattern is changing too. She's now eating closer to three meals a day - breakfast, lunch & dinner instead of eating every three hours during the day that she's been doing.

I received some photos from Martin (Kiron's cousin), so I'll hopefully put some of those up here. Kiron & Zoe are back in Raleigh on Wednesday - hooray!
