St. Nicholas

We saw St. Nicolas (and le Pére Fouettard) last Friday.  St. Nicolas comes on December 6 to give presents to children that are good, and Pére Fouettard gives coals and whips children that are bad! Luckily my kids got presents this year.

Mom's visit

I know I know I've been lazy with the pictures....

Mom came to visit us for 2 weeks, and we got extremely lucky with the weather! So we were able to get out of the house for most of the visit.  Saw some things we've seen before, and also some new stuff.

Julien's 2nd birthday

Isabelle and Vincent, the cheese makers

We ended up at a lot of parks, the lake a couple of times. Did the train ride through the vineyards.  And went to Gruyere town, castle and the cheese museum.

Julien's play group

I finally have the time on Wednesdays to go to a play group in the neighborhood. And his favorite toy is...

This is for little babies, but he got to play with it when Hugo was sleeping

Going outside while the weather was still nice

Exactly as the title says, we tried to get out as much as possible while the weather was still nice.  It's now October, and some places not too far already got snow last week! It might be a loooong winter.....

This is our house when we stay in...
