We Are..


We Are..

Wishing everyone a beautiful spring.

Unable to stop listening to Bon Iver's Holocene....oh dear, true bliss and the video shot in Iceland makes us long to return.

Wishing Robert an easy week despite the grueling intensity of it all.

Spring cleaning.

Writing and working on projects.

Loving the quote, "Become who you are."

Eating up gym workouts...nothing feels better than moving the body.

Smiling at Noah's current art phase...ghost making and embracing all the ghosts in the house.

 We Are...

Enjoying the warm temperatures and first signs of spring!  Finally!

Happy that Noah and Robert had an amazing time at the Lion King on Sunday!  What an incredible production.

Enjoying a day off from school to hit the trails and discover an awesome new trail.

Loving the quote, 
“I believe that whatever force makes the day turn into night and night turn into day, and winter become spring and fall become winter; whatever keeps all the stars and planets going around perfectly in their orbits, creates new buds in the spring and moves old leaves to drop away in autumn, can surely look after this one little life of mine.”  Joshua Rosenthal

Enjoying a couple of new books.

Listening and in total love with Gary Lightbody...oh dear, incredible talent especially in his video with BBC's Songbook Series.

Reading the book, Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes by Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie to the children.  

Grateful to be taking an awesome German class with a great teacher!

Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend.

 Noah with a bit of charcoal face paint, because, yes, that is what you do on a day off from school.
 Deep discussions by Noah and Tessa.


 Noah loved this part of the trail.
Love this sculpture of Little Red Riding Hood.  Amazing!

We Are...

 We Are...
Waking up after a long winter's sleep and it feels so good!
Getting outside as much as possible and soaking up the warmth of the sun.
Building fires in the woods and making schlangenbrot.
Closing up a lot of loose ends.
Listening to Angus & Julia Stone.
Reading and writing all the time.
Sad to be saying goodbye to another wave of dear friends leaving Basel.
Hoping we have the heart to brave the week ahead.  Life at times can be ever so painful.

 Hike and chat.
 Tessa...edible in every way.
 Ready to get going.
 Noah collecting wood.
Noah whittling a stick.
 Tessa checking out the horse.
So thrilled to be outside again and hiking!
