All Moved In

We just moved back to Switzerland this last week! The boxes are becoming less and less as is the snow. It snowed 3 times last week while we were unloading. Looks like we'll be having a green christmas. Just got the tree up last night and I still need to wrap presents. I just heard James explain to George that we are really Santa....another one gone. Here is our new address if you are a friend of ours (ha ha):
Stationstr. 26
8907 Wettswil
The kids are starting school back in Adliswil in January. They are nervous and nervous. German is scary!

Monica is 12 now and a new young woman at church. She is playing the piano and guitar. She loves to dress up, put on makeup and curl her hair. Such a girly girl (its nice to have one).

James loves to construct and build things. He helped me assemble some furniture with this move and also made my computer work??? He might end up a computer nerd??? He is playing the piano, recorder, and drums. I think he'll just keep up with the piano now that we've moved. He is looking forward to ice skating and skiing!

George was on his sled the whole first week we were here. He loves to sled! He doesn't remember German but thinks he can do anything. His teacher seems really nice and I think he'll learn quick.

Tim and Ben stick together most of everyday playing in their little world. They love cars, trains, planes and chocolate. They are happy little boys that bring a smile to our faces!

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your friendship! We hope you all have a Wonderful 2009!
Love,
The Ramsays
PS I will post pictures of the house....eventually (when I find, charge and empty my camera).

tea party




George walked in from school, I offered him a snack. After a little contemplation he invited me to have a tea party with him! I agreed but insisted on washing the toy plates and cups quickly first. Then he arranged the table, dragged over the play kitchen and we sat down to a nice cup of water and a custard cream biscuit. It was lovely!

family pics





Got some new family pics taken. See the rest on our website www.ramsay.ch

Monica




Monica celebrated her 12th birthday party by taking her school class to the pool. They had a fun time! She also got to go to High School Musical 3 with her friends and loved it!

Boating







James was able to go on a sailing course during the week of half term with a friend. (It snowed that week) but James loved it and went every day to the course and was outside for much of the day! He even got a prize for being the fastest one dressed after changing from wetsuits back into normal clothes.

Halloween













Here are some halloween pics. The three little ones were clones, Monica was a red haired witch and yes James was death (with glow in the dark face paint). I let them choose for themselves... We trick or treated on our street and then ran over to the church for our spook party. It was super fun!


pumpkin carving






Carved some Pumpkins!
