Recipes

My cooking style has definitely had to change since arriving in Switzerland.  There are a lot of ingredients I'm used to using that I can't find here, the oven seem to cook differently, and generally, things just don't go quite the way I'm used to :-).  And I'm constantly digging around for more recipes since we eat out a LOT less (translation: I cook a lot more!)  I'm also attempting to do more freezer/crockpot cooking (making up a handful of meals ahead of time that can go in the freezer, thawing them overnight, and then popping them in the crockpot in the morning).  I've added a Recipe page to this blog to add recipes to as I find ones worth sharing...click here to check it out!

He's walking!!!

Matthew has been taking a few steps at a time (2-5) for about a month now, but today, he got brave and off he went!  He still prefers to crawl since it gets him where he wants to go much more quickly, but...he's off!  Life (once again) will never be the same :-)

Animal crackers for the Kappas

I bought these animal crackers for Matthew the other day having no idea that they were all owls. They immediately made me think of all the wonderful Kappas in my life, and how lucky I am to have such wonderful women in my life. I miss my Kappas!

Love from home

We got the last round (we think) of Christmas cards in the mail last week, so our fridge is complete for the season :-). We loved getting cards from so many of our friends back home - and getting a lot of the in January was great for prolonging the holiday spirit!!! It really helped us feel like we were still connected during our first holiday season here in Lucerne. Thank you everybody!!!

First day of ski school
