miracle

I had the craziest thing happen yesterday on my anniversary. A year and a half ago I lost the diamond from my wedding ring (while we were living in the UK). I looked everywhere! but eventually determined to get a bigger diamond :). We kept doing other things with our extra money so I've just been wearing a russian wedding band that I picked up at a car boot sale in England. Anyway late last night after I got home from parents night (colin is in Poland for work) I was cleaning out the filter from the dryer and I spotted what I thought was one of Monica's earrings. I picked it up and thought that it must have come out of her earring as it was just the stone. But the stone looked very familiar to me...so I scratched it against the glass door of the washer to see if it was real. It scratched back! I was very shocked! So I rushed up to my jewlery box to see if it would fit....it did! How did that diamond travel back to switzerland and let me find it a year and a half later in a different country?! Amazing!


In other happenings school started up 3 weeks ago....making my life CRAZY! We've finally started all of the other things up as well (after taking a 6 month break for the children to readjust to german). George is in swimming, James is taking kumon, piano, drums, trumpet (from his uncle and a friend) and scouts (in zurich there is an american troop), Monica is taking piano, guitar, YW's and kumon. Just makes life busier when you add these elements plus a kitty that insists on being played with!:)


I also haven't been able to put this book down!!! So if you like the Jane Austen time period then grab a copy! I'm still thinking about it!

Boots


We got a new kitty on Sunday evening (Thanks Rahel)! The first night she meowed a lot but finally settled down by Colin's feet. The kids are loving her to bits and I'm trying to control that love:) She's a good little kitty and has been eating, drinking and sleeping well. She loves to play with the kids and hide from them. Here are a couple pictures...

family reunion

So I forgot to take any pictures during my summer vacation....OOPS! But my dear sister in law took a bunch and here are a few from our time at Lake McCall, Idaho:






Monica loved everything! Water skiing, tubing, ski doos, fishing, playing with cousins!
George loved the tube and going slowly on the skidoos.
James enjoyed the tube, ski doos and the knee board.
This as close as the twins got to the water....chickens! But it made watching them pretty easy!

I was looking through some old photos and I came across this old photo of us going sledding. The twins were one or two so it was a couple years ago. Below is a picture with Colin's 2 brothers. Daniel on the left and Marcel on the right.

Here Kitty Kitty



So here he or she is in all her glory. Her mom is above with the other kittens. My kids are in love and we have been visiting daily to torture the poor thing. My kids also really want a female kitty so we can breed and breed and breed. Yeah right....I'm not getting stuck with lots of little cats. I'm not a cat person so this cat will soon be living outside I hope! George is determined to name it kitty kitty but I think we'll find another name for it...maybe Boots? Off to the USA tomorrow!!! See ya!
