Spring, Summer, Kindergarten!


KINDERGARTEN!



August 19, 8:30 am. First day of kindergarten for Ella! Me in my pajamas still, Ella was so excited she was already dressed by 7 am. She changed her dress by the time school actually started!

Ella and Anna, the only English speaking kids in class. Their teacher, Frau Charra. Ella was happy but a bit hesitant, so was mommy:) Moms got to stay half of the 3 hour morning.





Ella with daddy the morning of kindergarten, Ella was excited that she gets to be in school everyday that daddy works!





Riding the gondola to "Sattel" putting on sunscreen. Sattle is a ski reasort turned into jumpy castle heaven in the summer. The gray building is the back of our our new place in Wadenswil.






The kitchen, bigger than 2 steps! Charlie and I on the tobogan ride at Sattel. We got some serious speed and of course he wanted to go faster.








The playground of our new place, Roberta was great with the kids all day while we moved boxes.



Kimberlys birthday party in Colorado. All the kids had to help blow out the candles.

Family fun at the wedding. Ryan, Kimberly and Karlee. All the cousins!

Melissa, Karlee, Ella and Anna on the hammock! Getting ready to tube, whohoo. The kids look a bit nervous...





Charlie and mommy getting ready to tube, charlie is hanging on for dear life. That was his first and last time on the tube in the 2 weeks we were there, I think it was a bit much for the little guy.


Tubing rocks!....kinda... Ella 5th birthday party in Traverse City, Michigan! July 3rd
