Big Sister, Little Brother

There are a lot more of these, but I couldn't wait to post one.  I'll sort through the rest of the pictures and pick out some other good ones later.  

Those are my cuties!

Andrew - 1 month

Laura - 26 months

December Doings

 Helping Daddy put his favorite ornaments on the tree.

After asking to "old im, Daddy?" 

At Lac Noir 

She really did love it - she was just cold here. 

 With my babies!

 Another attempt at a family photo on Lake Geneva.

 Picture with Grandma at the Montreux Christmas market.

 We didn't get any pictures of the market, but we did get a picture of Laura playing on the playground!

Christmas Eve Eve - celebrating with Grandma before she left. 

 The stockings were hung by the radiator with care...

Chateau de Chillon

We took my parents to Chateau de Chillon one weekend when then castle was all abustle with roaring fires, medieval crafts and people in period costumes.  We walked around and admired the crafts and enjoyed lentils with ham and a delicious vegetable soup in the enormous dining room.  It was Andrew's first outing and he slept through all of it.

Cutie Pie.

Proof that we got out of the house!

I'll never grow tired of the beautiful vistas here.

The castle is built right on the water.

We could have take the train to the front door of the castle, but drove instead.  It took half the time and was much cheaper.  Swiss trains are nice and timely, mais tres cher!

Family Photos - Kinda

We all got out and dressed one day so that we could take some pictures of all 4 of us.  We managed to get a few, but the morning was wrought with problems.  First, the nice camera was dead (which we discovered once we got to where we were going), fortunately, Grandma had hers in her pocket, so hurray, we could still do it.  Second, it was snowing, snowing (and getting harder by the minute).  Oh well, it will give the picture a distinct wintry-feel.  We'll all get a little wet and cold, but we'll dry!  Third: We're finally all set up and ready to go, but don't have time to really look at the pictures to make sure they're turning out ok.  Result - we are minuscule in the photo.  I zoomed in a little, but we're so small that if we zoom in to a normal size then we're blurry. 

Oh well, someday we'll succeed in getting a good shot of our little family.
