Sunday
Yesterday, we got out of the apartment. It was good to be outside in the sunshine with the smell of fall pulling at my inner bear stirring it out of a deep slumber. We had spent too many hours inside due to one sick child or another.

Living in a Swiss village with kids
My kids love their life in our Swiss village.
I don’t worry about them being outside by themselves. An hour will pass without my seeing them from the apartment windows but I know they are safe.
