Facebook addiction

January 30, 2009

Last year, I tried out Facebook. I didn’t get it and thought it was silly. Now, I realize the problem was that many of the people I wanted to connect with weren’t on Facebook. I only found less than five people I knew. I recently reopened my Facebook account because someone I know told me [...]

Horse country

January 28, 2009

We didn’t spend the entire day walking around the International dog sledding event in Saignelégier. The day was too beautiful not to spend some time walking in the mountains.  There was a hard layer of snow from the rain that had fallen just a few days before which made the newly fallen snow perfect for [...]

A fun day out as a family

January 27, 2009

More photos from Sunday.   My husband had just slid down a mountain of snow as my son was starting to climb up it. He landed right in front of my son. They were both surprised and laughed afterwards. Families brought their sleds with them. I was sorry we didn’t think to bring ours. My [...]

Sometimes you must go back to go forward

January 23, 2009

This sentence keeps popping up in my head every single time I reflect on my life during this past week.   Each day it gets stronger and stronger in my head.   What does it mean?   Go back? To where? To who?   To what? I have a feeling that it is deeper than [...]

Daytime fun

January 21, 2009

Before our French Papa arrives home from work we clean up all the day’s fun.  :) ********** Edit: I wanted to clarify that the reason I put “French husband” isn’t because I think all French are neat freaks but because my husband and I tease each other that he (the French) likes everything just so [...]

Sledding day

January 19, 2009

We went sledding this past Thursday and Friday afternoon. The pictures below are from Thursday. It was a gorgeous day out and the snow was perfect. We found a large hole that is just near our apartment that we will be using for some years to come. It is the perfect spot to sled. Sissi, [...]

Happy New Year!

The year ended beautifully. We have been spending quality time with my oldest daughter. I have taught her to bake and knit in a few short weeks. She is a fast learner. She has made homemade apple pie, biscuits, cookies, pancakes, syrup, quiche, and soup not to mention what a big help she has been [...]
