Budding photographer

June 5, 2009

The other day, I was clearing off a memory card from my old camera so I could use it in the Nikon. I had a good laugh because it was full of photos that my six year old had taken. Most of the photos were of Emmie Cat. There are several of her posing with [...]

J’en ai marre

April 28, 2009

It started out fine enough. Rain in the morning. Now. We have snow. Not a little snow. Huge flakes of snow. Coming down at a steady pace. I really am fed up with the snow. For heavens sake, I just washed and put up all the scarves, gloves and snow pants until next winter. [...]

Weekend blues

March 31, 2009

We had a bit of blue sky this weekend. It made me happy. Today started out grey but now it is sunny and blue. My two youngest girls are sledding with their class. I hope that it is the last chance they have to sled. I am ready for spring.

Our nightly walk in photos

March 14, 2009

It is getting warmer even if we are still buried in snow. The snow is wetter and heavy. I think it may be slowly melting all the way through. While I don’t think it will melt away in a few days, I do think that most of the snow will be gone in a month [...]

Sunday walk in the snow

March 9, 2009

Yesterday, we decided that we were tired of not being able to take our Sunday walks because of all the snow. We went walking in spite of the Franches-montagnes being buried in snow for over four months. It turned out that the snow wasn’t hard to walk on even in the forest as long as [...]

Snow park

March 8, 2009

The girls remembered that there is a park in the lower part of Les Bois. We were walking that way and they begged me to let them play there. I laughed knowing that it would be buried but I still wasn’t prepared for how buried. Anyone wanna swing? The kids had as much fun in [...]

Winter sky

February 26, 2009

We were invited to a ski station near our village by the mother of my daughter’s best friend. It is the first time I have ever been to a ski station. We didn’t go to ski but for the kids to sled. There is a machine that pulls the sled up with the kids in [...]

As white as snow

February 17, 2009

It has snowed on and off for a week. It is predicted to snow most of this week. When I go outside to get my kids to and from the bus stop I carry an umbrella. I have never carried an umbrella for protection against the falling snow in my entire life before [...]

February 15, 2009

It snowed for almost two days straight…again. I am not even talking about the snow we got on and off during the days before that. :)

Gruyères, Switzerland

February 4, 2009

Before my oldest daughter went back to the States we wanted to take her somewhere special. So, on her last weekend with us we all got up early to catch the train to Gruyeres, Switzerland. When we visited Charmey last year we saw the castle of Gruyères from the bus. Vilay and I looked at [...]

Photos from the weekend

February 3, 2009

The birds were hanging out on a Yves Rocher sign in Neuchâtel. Vilay took this photo of a tree that he thought was interesting. I am still loving that he is becoming interested in photography and starting to see more because of it. It is something that we can share and enjoy together. She was [...]

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 [...]

For most of the day on Sunday we admired all the beautiful dogs that participated in the International Dog Sled Race that was held this past weekend in Saignelégier, Switzerland. It is held each year but this year is the first time that we have visited the dog races. We will definitely be back for [...]
