Hard to say whether the girls are happy to be back in the U.S. isn’t it? We know for sure that they missed their beds and were glad to be done with the transatlantic flight as were both mom and dad. We were back home for several weeks in December for the holidays before returning to Switzerland to pack up the house and for Virginia to finish some work in Rolle. Virginia and I went to NYC for the weekend for a legal seminar sans children. We got to see Wicked and do alot of window shopping. We also were lucky enough to have planned a week beach getaway in Grand Cayman the week before Christmas. Much thanks to both sets of Grandparents for helping out with the girls over the holidays. We were finally able to get everything packed up from the house in Trelex, although somehow we only brought over 500 pounds of goods and had nearly 900 pounds in return. My wife had nothing to do with this… I am not complaining though, I was able to ski at Chamonix, Crans-Montana and Port du Soleil before returning to the U.S. The Narbel family hosted me at their chalet in Crans-Montana for two days of skiing and authentic fondue with their lovely family (Thanks Nicolas, Cammie, Oscar, Alice and Mark). It was truly a great experience and we miss all of our friends in Switzerland.
Now that we are back in the states, the girls are getting accustomed to their “ohio house.” Greer is very pleased that not much has changed in Dublin and that the mall still has all of her favorites, including Pottery Barn Kids and soft pretzels. Greer has already enjoyed having some play-dates with her English speaking friends. Emersen is just happy to have four sets of carpeted stairs to climb. The granite ones in Trelex just weren’t much fun to crawl up.
Anyway, the blogs certainly won’t be as “sexy” as it was with all of the European encounters, but I will try and post some pictures of the girls playing together.
