The first holiday with Nadja. Okay, we had two long weekends with her and our friends at Whitsun and New Year’s Eve. However, this was the first long holiday as a family. After some research we followed a recommendation of Tom finally: the Familotel (family hotel) “Rookhus” at the “Great Labus Lake” near Wesenberg, located in the Mueritz National Park.
Although the weather was not the best – nearly 0°C, stormy, rainy, even snowy days with only few hours of sun – we really enjoyed the time. As the saying goes: There is no bad weather, only wrong clothing. Still, a little more sun would have been great. However, the hotel offered indoor playgrounds so we were not stuck in the room only. In general the “Familotel” was well prepared for children, even the little ones. Our “Babyroom” was a spacious double room with a seperate chamber which featured a baby bed and a diaper changing table. So we could bring Nadja to bed and stay in the hotel room without disturbing her sleep. Very friendly and helpful was the staff who was used to handle the children well. And if you wounder how “romantic hotel” and “family hotel” go together… yes, it sounds like antipodes, but it worked fine. How? Find out yourself – with or without kids :-)
Okay, I have to admit, the video is not really spectacular. At least not for you, probably. A little child walks some distance. So what?
Why I recorded it anyway and even posted it here? On one hand side I like the colours, on the other hand side yesterday was the first sunny day here in Berlin for a long time. And, probably the main reason: because I am still fascinated that Nadja can walk now. And I am (still) surprised when she just stands up and starts to walk around ;-)
UPDATE: I uploaded some more pictures taken this weekend. Nadja driving her Bobbycar and the first “sessions” on the potty.
It took a long time. First, I did not find time for blogging. Then, when I started to write on Saturday, I got problems with my system. I just could not upload any pictures anymore! After a long sunday evening, which turned into an even longer sunday night, I was lost and desparate. I had tried to upgrade the system to the latest version (which failed due to some small mistake by myself) and finally had to rollback to the previous (back-uped) version. Today I finally found the reason. It is not WordPress, it is also not my beloved NextGenGallyer-Plugin. The reason is 1&1, my hoster. Luckily I found a workaround, if you are interested.
Fact 1: Now I definitely will change my hoster with the end of my running contract. The price-service-ratio is miserable. My new blog is running at Strato already.
Fact 2: Nothing of this is probably at any interest of you. You were looking for updates from Nadja, so here they are:
