We Are...

Enjoying the warm days and making the most of our weekends.

Loving the solarbob slide...the kids too!

So proud of Noah and Tessa for doing so well on our long, intense hike yesterday. Way more than we all anticipated.

Cannot believe there are just three weeks left of school! Where did the year go?

Love Krista Tippett's podcast, On Being. https://onbeing.org/becoming-wise-the-podcast/

Enjoying time at the pool.

Grateful that Robert doesn't need surgery on his knee.

Looking forward to all that this week holds, including: class trips, school plays, hikes with friends and fun!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Open meadows.

Beautiful hike.

And then we found ourselves on a ridge-line hike...oh dear.

On the way to the castle in Waldenburg!

Loving the long weekends, which allow us to explore new places and retreat back home at the end of a long day. This weekend we visited the gorgeous town of Thun. Despite having traveled through Thun a number of times, we never stopped. We were pleasantly surprised by the lively downtown and the gorgeous Aare river. The children enjoyed the playgrounds and we enjoyed picnicking by the gorgeous lake. Sweet, sweet days, always appreciated and never taken for granted.

Bliss..utter bliss!

We love you Robert and wish you a day to bask in all the joy you have created and all the incredible things you have accomplished!

We love you!
