Today the family bus embarked on a trip over to the local French Alps ski resort village to take in a little skiing action. It was perhaps a little crazy expecting a nearly 5 year old to appreciate the coolness of skiing in the Alps, a 2.5 year old to wait patiently while her older [...]

This week started off like nearly every other. Nothing too extraordinary, kids all doing their jobs; growing and learning as I like to tell them. Things all changed a little on Tuesday and the week seems to be getting more interesting. I’ll begin with the least exciting event. While I was returning from a long [...]

There is some crazy weather going on over here in Europe. Apparently there is a cold front from Siberia that’s sweeping Europe and freezing us all! This morning the temperature dipped to -10c! The amazing thing is that it was admittedly cold, but not nearly as cold as I would have expected. I suppose it’s [...]

The boxes aren’t anything fancy, just slightly taller than sandwich sized containers but inside are four removable containers. Unfortunately those little compartments don’t have lids and the entire container is leak proof except for between the compartments but that’s [...]

Phew, what a whirlwind day. Lately it seems that everything that could happen is, and all at once. For example, today I went down to Geneva to apply for Carys’ and Eliot’s passports and Eliot’s citizenship card. Thankfully this time I was fully prepared with every document that I might or might not have needed. [...]

1: How am I feeling today? Cold! It’s 10C outside, and it’s supposed to get to 19C today. Not sure how that will happen. In the meantime, I’m going to wear extra sweaters and socks. I woke up this morning feeling slightly better today than yesterday. It probably helped that I knew that I had [...]

I have not forgotten about posting some pictures from our trip, it just took me a little while to get to it. Between school starting and random ailments with the kids, things haven’t been happening as quickly as I’d hoped. Thankfully, I’ve got some pictures done and ready to share. These pictures are from the [...]
