Yes Sir,

That's my baby!!

In case you haven't heard, Tom and I are expecting! We're very excited and looking forward to meeting the new little person that God has given us. The baby is due at the end of October and we will be having it here in Switzerland (and no, sadly it won't have Swiss citizenship). We've had our first doctor's appointment and so far so good! We even got this great picture of the baby and it's only 2 inches long!

Anyone want to make a guess as to the gender or the due date? My technical due date is Nov 2, but when I went to the Dr, they moved it up to Oct 22 based on the baby's measurements. So we shall see...

Swiss Snow Fun

We've had a lot of snow here this year, and while yesterday and today have been beautiful examples of spring (finally!!), I thought I'd post some pictures of our snowy day activities.

Skiing with some friends on a beautiful winter day. There was a run here that went all the way to the bottom of the mountain - after a few runs of that and my legs were shot!

We came out one morning to see our car absolutely covered in snow - you can see the accumulation on the top of the garage door.

We never had to shovel snow when we lived in GA, so this is a new experience for us. Here's Tom clearing our driveway even though there is still snow coming down.

We went for a walk in the snow one day just around our neighborhood. I should have worn waterproof pants. The boots worked perfectly, but the snow was higher than the tops of them.

Another ski day! Tom, April and I met our neighbor at the Moleson for a day of skiing.
There were about 6 inches of fresh snow and a cloud covered the mountain the entire day. Both conditions made skiing different than usual. After a challenging morning, we were ready for lunch. This was what April and I got - it's Rosti (similar to hash browns) with bacon. We laughed when we saw that they'd made a face out of it.


It was a cold day - as evidenced by our frozen hair!

With the cold, the cats want to go out, but decide rather quickly that inside is a better option. So here they are asking to be let back in - a common occurance.
