A sort of homecoming

This last week Bluet and Ilona's daycare was shut for 'Spring Break' so we took the opportunity to return to the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the place of Bluet's birth, New York.

What a week that was.

Whilst we also didn't sleep so much (so many places to see, so many people to meet, so much to do, and a small one bedroom apartment with 4 people and steam heating*) but we had a wonderful time, and it makes us really excited to be moving again to a real city (Zurich) rather than the never ending suburb in which we currently reside.

So it is going to take some time to sort out the photos, but never fear, they are coming. In the meantime, here is a video of Bluet hula hooping at the imagination playground. You may recall, this is something she has wanted to be able to do for a long time, and now she seems to have mastered it.

*the only bad thing about New York is the steam heating, which heats all the apartment buildings through radiators. Unfortunately the temperature appears to be set for the oldest person in the building (i.e. much, much too hot) so you have to have the windows open all winter to adjust the temperature, and then in this apartment Bluet and Ilona were in the bedroom with windows, and Emily and I slept on the sofa in the room with no windows, and anyway, I digress. I also feel I might have written this before.
