Both sides of the family are said to be over the moon and spending time together.

As was reported at the time Kirsten Fritzl had two parts to her family, the ones that lived in the cellar and those that lived in the main part of the house.

Members of the press also asked the doctors why the children, that were held in the basement of the house, have not been seen outside their newly rented apartment?
