Berne (Bern), Switzerland

September 30, 2007

We had to change trains three times with three kids and two strollers to get to Berne, the capital city of Switzerland. It was worth it. The train from Bienne to Berne had a second floor. We happily pulled the kids and strollers up a flight of stairs just for the view. It was wonderful. [...]

September 29, 2007

Photo taken in Strasbourg, France of a Dali image in February of this year. I keep my camera with me at all times because you never know what you will find no matter where you are. When I do forget it more times than not I regret it. Luckily, I had my camera with me [...]

Photohunt: paper

A woman that my husband works with gave me several puzzles, a few books and a big plastic container full of Lego bricks, cars and people for my kids. Her grandchildren had outgrown the toys and she knew we had three little ones. It was a welcome gift this past week. It helped me keep [...]

There is light at the end of the tunnel

September 22, 2007

Surfing the internet while waiting on my husband to get ready for the village festival. Sorry, I have been neglecting my blog, e-mail and I even missed a day of 365 on flickr. I have been adjusting to a new life schedule. Since, I can’t find someone to watch my three children while I go [...]

Mother and son

September 20, 2007

Boy Blue often caresses my face and gives me kisses. He loves his Mama. If my husband even thinks about hugging me or kissing me Boy Blue runs as fast as he can to climb into my lap screaming, “Noooooo!”, the entire time. He is sitting in my lap as I type this as is [...]

The subtitle “Le pays le plus riche de la planète est aussi le plus endetté.” (The richest country in the world is, also, in the greatest debt.) No surprise for me. Not after working in American banking for seven years. One of my [...]

La belle Suisse

September 17, 2007

Sweet Bear took this photo. She is becoming quite the photographer. Petite Clown hasn’t yet figured out how to take a photo without getting her fingers in the shot. Once she does I know she’ll be as good as her sister. They are always pointing out things to me during our walks. Some of the [...]

Saturday outing

September 16, 2007

We took the train to La Chaux-de-fond to buy Sweet Bear and Petite Clown some shoes. Afterwards, we took advantage of our all day tickets. When taking the train it is generally cheaper to buy the all day tickets rather than the round trip tickets. The all day tickets allow us to go anywhere in [...]
