An entire season gone by
Yes, summer has come and gone.
For those of you wondering where I've been, I'm still here in Zurich. Summer was hectic largely due to a home-move. We had to find a new place, get replacement tenants for the old place, pack, clean and move.
Then after the extremely long summer vacation, Joseph started a new school while Benjamin remained at the old one. So I've had to ferry the two boys around. Have gotten used to all that travelling but still learning about the new town that we live in. First thing we had to learn was where the recycling centre is located. Very important in Switzerland. I find myself spending lots of time sorting my trash these days :).
In between all that, we did manage to go to some interesting places. Last weekend, we went to a playground up in the mountains. These bouncy thingamajigs were right smack in the middle of nature. Quite a sight to behold.
It's cold here now. Much too cold for my liking. Praying for a warm winter. Sheldon's going to take the family skiing next February. Yup, that includes me. I'm not too keen on the idea but am game to give it a shot.
Gotta run. Here are some pics.

View just outside our living/dining room. There's a pond in the foreground. The residents in this apartment unit fondly refer to it as their "lake".
