ragamuffins going on a bear hunt in the woods near our house..don’t think they found a bear but the house sure was peaceful while they were gone!

Well, we caught the end of the Swiss summer. We had some nice hot days and we are now full on into fall. We were originally arriving towards the beginning of summer so in the end I have felt a bit behind with the seasons. They are sneaking up on me.

Our swiss summer this year was mainly about settling in and finding our way around Bern. My mom came for a couple of weeks which eased our transition greatly! Friends from Bogota, Nick and Kima along with Ben drove over from Zug to visit soon after we arrived. My friend Leigh and her her husband, along with Katy Jo came to visit as well.  So all within our first month we got to see friends and family.
