Randomness...since I'm on a Deadline!

I've recently been told that some people check my blog every Monday for new posts. As I hate to disappoint anyone, but have nothing much to say (for once!), here are a few random bits and pics...

This weekend, Gymboree Zurich had it's one-year anniversary. They hosted a "disco dance party" for the kids on Saturday. Lainey dressed in her finest, down to a necklace, bracelet and fairy wings for the occasion. Here she is sliding on one climber: This is Lainey with her friend, Tea, who goes to Gymboree with her. Thanks to Tea (who Lainey often shares her lunch with) Lainey now eats ham, cheese and mustard sandwiches. And thanks to Lainey, Tea now eats yogurt (according to Tea's mom).
I brought our neighbor, Lucy, with us. Don't they both look so cute all dressed up??


Last weekend, we went sledding on a hill by our house. It was pretty steep, and Lainey was afraid at first. Then she decided to sled on her bottom. Slower than a sled, but still fun!


Jason and Aidan going down...later Jason went by himself and hit a bump that flipped him off and almost required medical attention! That's what happens when you get old!! :)

Last weekend, we also went to explore Zug. Zug is a city not far from Zurich and also on a lake. It was a nice day to wander the town and enjoy the markets that are starting again for spring. The vendors sell everything from flowers to cheese to fresh olives to sausages to fruits and veggies.

Tonight we had a fun fondue dinner with some friends of ours, Becky and Paul. They just moved here with GM and their kids go to school with Aidan. I bought a new fondue pot for the occasion-a real Swiss one. Later this week we're going to a concert with them, our first in Zurich.
Then on Thursday, 3 months of fun begins! Missy comes to visit this week, and we're going to Chamonix, France with her next weekend. We'll be back next Tuesday, then my mom and aunt come next Thursday!! While they are here, we're going to Stockholm, Interlaken (Jungfraujoch), and maybe Salzburg. They are even going to stay with the kids so Jason and I can get away for a few days alone for our 10-year anniversary. We're going to Sardinia! Then, the week after they have to leave, Jason's parents arrive for 3 weeks. With them we're going to Munich and Tuscany. 6 countries in 3 months-not bad! I'll definitely have some blog-worthy expriences to write about soon!
