Petit Dejeuner En Suisse

Funny Confession #269

Keeping up with this 5 year old on a mountain pushes me to the edge of my comfort zone and athletic ability. On skis, he is as amazing as I am bad.

Our days on the hill here are fabulous, but my legs and I are always ready to turn the final corner at the end of the super long run down to our hotel.

This is a good vacation!

Hotel on the left there, it was as good as it looks.

Big Hills, Little Sledders

Funny Confession #268

I embarrass her already (with nonsense like this). She is only 4.

Spring Half Marathon Training

Starts today, with an awesome XC ski session.  Last year's bday gift keeps on giving.

I'm signed up for this half...join me?

Funny Confession #267

I excused myself from dinner, for a moment, to capture a selfie because I was that excited that my dress matched my entree. Who does that?

I need more purple potatoes in my life. You probably do too.

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

Swiss Cheese

A colorful day in whiteout conditions

More Cowbell

Choo Choo

This old train goes straight up the mountain.

Funny Confession #266

I find livestock (and their smells) to be exponentially more likeable (charming even) when they are slopeside in Switzerland

Photo du Jour

Yodeleeheehoo. Switzerland is alright.

Here we go again!

Gearing up for some snow fun!

Snowboards, split boards, alpine skis, xc skis, helmets, ski boots, snow boots, snowboard boots, poles, goggles...CHECK!

Let's do this.0

Tennis Anyone?

I wish I knew more (anything) about this street art installation down the road from school.

Full Moon Run

Inspired

Now here is a safe way to experiment with wallpaper at home (something I always think about doing)!

I spotted this here.  Love.  It is from here.  Love LOVE!

Be Mine

Love is in the air at our house (merci Birdie, for the love flags)

I am wearing my heart on my sleeve and showing the love.

Geek alert: That was my second annual valentines day selfie...here is last year's.  

This girl, she is all in for vday...

Funny.  I don't think of vday as a major holiday...and yet as I look back through the past 6 years, I see that every year I get pretty jazzed about it, there is even more here.  

One of my all time favorite valentines came in the form of a cookie, from my father in law to his wife.  Too cute.  

Stamppot

O was in PDX last week, and to welcome him "home" we mashed together a dutch classic.   For as long as Holland is home, nothing says welcome home better than stamppot.  

Et voila...with a side of carrots

I even happen to own a stamppotstamper.  Yes, that is really what it is called.

Eet smakelijk.  

How was it?  Well....it wasn't terrible.  We didn't hate it.   Not sure it will be a tradition or anything...
