William and the Mola Mola
So, we were sitting together on the couch looking at Sean's pictures from his recent trip to Lisbon. I was frustrated because I had just spent a good fifteen minutes working with William and he still was unable to identify the letter "J" with any reliability! We came across this picture. "Eew, what is that?", I asked. "I forget. But it was really big!", Sean responded. " I think it is a mola-mola.", William stated seriously. "Check and see if he is right!", I said, and Sean opened Wikipedia. Turns out those National Geographic Kids videos William was watching so often LAST YEAR have provided him with some good marine trivia that impressed his parents! Now, back to the letter "J"!!!
Last Outing with the Car!
DOE: A deer, a female deer.
REH: Another word for deer!
ME: had Sean been blogging today...
FAR: A long, long way to run (for a hamster).
SO, LA, TI: Are hard...um, we have SO many children that we are going LA-LA and could use a cup of TEA?!
DOE: Phew, that brings us back to D'OH!

House update
Escape windows in the basement are in and there apparently are some plants that can live in Wyoming.
The back door is almost ready. Why someone built this house with no back door remains a mystery.
Bathroom? Not sure... One pipe may be the radon thingy.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!
I hope you like your woodworking store gift certificate as much as William likes his Lego Star Wars ship!!
Mini Alpine Adventure
We are starting to feel a bit sentimental about leaving this beautiful place, so last Sunday we took Eric's brand new passport, loaded everybody into our (recently sold but not quite delivered) car, and headed South, toward the darker skies and the Swiss Alps. We had time to take a few pictures. Me and the kids...
...trying to take a photo of Sean with the kids...but they were no longer interested !
Well, pretty soon the clouds gathered and it started to hail! We took cover for a while in a barn, but quickly got bored and as soon as the hail stopped we dashed through the rain to the nearest little restaurant. A little hot chocolate in the Alps is also well worth the drive.
Yum!
The view out the window from the restaurant. Not bad.
Sean took this picture while he waited for Eric to be done nursing!
Switzerland is such a pretty place!
On the way home, we had to make the 20 minute detour to drive through Liechtenstein. Just to say we were there.
