This might be my longest stretch of not writing since I started my blog seven years ago. We have certainly had the busiest summer I’ve ever had, between Brittany and Switzerland and the States. There was so much moving around during our US visit, and so many friends and family to see, I didn’t even try to blog. But I… Read More
Postcards from Switzerland
Our summer has been such a whirlwind, and we still have a couple more weeks to go – (kids start school the beginning of September).
