Vacationing in Strasbourg, France

August 11, 2010

…Is just what I needed. We have been relaxing. Taking long walks in all the places we know and love. We took the kids to Parc de L’Orangerie in Strasbourg. Our children were all able to play in the the big kids park for the first time instead of the little kids park. They, also, [...]

Fun

June 11, 2010

One of the fun things we like to do as a family is to run on the village skating ramp. Once you get up on the top you can lay basking in the sun (my husband’s favorite part) and then slide back down when you are ready to run all over again.

Storms

May 27, 2010

We had our first real storm of the year last night. As the rolling thunder and grey skies fell upon our mountain, I thought of family. I remembered that as a child my parents, my brother and I would all sit on the porch watching one storm or another play out before our eyes. I [...]

My children are my greatest source of happiness. They make me smile all the time. Been very busy searching for a new apartment in Bienne and a job any where in that area. I am so happy to be moving forward instead of standing still. I hope you are all having a great week so [...]

Being a big sister

March 15, 2010

M has been learning to read since she started first grade. She is now able to sound out most words and this is her favorite game. It is so cute. I have fond memories of A (my oldest daughter) doing the same exact thing when she began to read. The other morning my [...]

Random photos from our walk today

February 21, 2010

When I opened the windows to air out the apartment this morning I could smell spring. It smelled so good outside and the sun was so warm on my face. I knew right then and there that we HAD to take a walk. So, we did. It felt great to be out in the mountains [...]

Missing our girl

October 9, 2009

This is the second night that Emmie is not here. We miss her. Her surgery was this morning. The lump was easily removed. It was when the vet went in to sterilize Emmie that complications arose. The vet said it was “not pretty” in there. The rest of the explanation was a bit complicated 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 [...]

She has made homemade apple pie, biscuits, cookies, pancakes, syrup, quiche, and soup not to mention what a big help she has been [...]

Lazy day walking around Bern

November 18, 2008

Since I was sick we decided to head to Bern for the day instead of walking in the mountains. Honestly, I don’t think I have been this sick in years. We ate at Burger King (a treat for the kids), had warm apple turnovers from McDonald’s (a treat for all of us), window shopped, let [...]

Emmie Cat

October 26, 2008

We haven’t had a family pet for years. Our family cat, Annie Cat, has lived with my brother for almost five years now. We had to leave her in the States when we moved to France in 2004. Today, Vilay finally caved and said we could have a cat. It wasn’t just the pressure from [...]
