Hot day

May 24, 2010

Spent…Playing outside, hanging out laundry, biking, walking, eating and drinking lots of water. We are all a little sunburned in spite of putting on an extra thick layer of sunscreen. I forgot how strong the sun can be in the mountains.

What we had for lunch

May 13, 2010

Snow walk

January 31, 2010

The snow is starting to get deep here. Each time it snows a new layer is added. The kids joke that they can swim in it. What is funny is that when I walk on the snow it feels like walking on a sandy beach with shoes on. It takes an effort to walk through [...]

Attention aux chiens

January 21, 2010

Vilay took the photo of the cute dog above as it was barking like mad at us.   A woman opened the window to her house and told the dog to stop barking. Vilay asked her where the other dog was since the sign said beware of dogs (not dog). She said, “Oh, but there [...]

Snowy white

January 19, 2010

The last bit of our snowy walk I shared with you in my previous post.  Sadly, the trees are no longer covered in snow.  Shimmering frost does cover the trees every morning which kinda makes up for it.

It is my turn after the kids are starting to feel better. I am sick. I am tired. The  sky has been a mixture of blue and grey all day which kinda reflects how I have felt all day. Vilay is going to the meeting tonight between the parents and the teachers (of my youngest [...]

A moment in our day

October 22, 2009

My six year old daughter and five year old daughter lost a tooth tonight. First my five year old and later my six year old. I was honored that they trusted me enough to help them pull out their teeth without any tears or fear. It is the sixth for my six year old and [...]

Autumn day

October 11, 2009

We took a walk around Tavannes today. Autumn colors danced at every turn. Emmie is doing wonderfully. She has been sleeping, eating and behaving normally in every way. She is even more affectionate than she was before and slept most of the night nestled into my neck.

Indian Summer

September 26, 2009

Farm Town addiction

September 4, 2009

Picture of my farm taken today. I am embarrassed to admit that I play am addicted to Farm Town. It started out innocently enough. I accepted an invitation to join Farm Town (which is an application on Facebook) from my mother (I think) and within two days I was hooked. Why? It is fun to [...]
