Hello and Goodbye

After an incredibly long couple of weeks and even longer couple of days, we've finally arrived in Bern! The town is pretty adorable, and I surprisingly love our fifth floor apartment, which we like to call our "Penthouse." The crazy amount of stairs hasn't bothered us too much yet, although I foresee either a complete hatred for stairs developing, or perhaps I'll just finally loose that baby weight and be stoked!

Anyway, the last couple of days in Ketchum were incredibly hard- I hate saying goodbye. But, we are finally here and I'm ready to get settled. Cora did well on the plane and is adjusting ok, however, she's having a hard time adjusting to the time zone and isn't sleeping a whole lot at night right now. 

Here are a few photos of our last goodbyes and our new beginnings .... (and don't worry Ketchum friends- I have a feeling we will be back!!).

Cora Azalea Description Info

I had Cora as my user name, and am now working on a new blog through my user name so need to change over Coras info to mine. Just so I don't lose it this is Cora's info in case I need to access it again:

Very early in the morning, I was finally born on November 7, 2012.  Because I was born in rural Idaho, when I popped out, my dad helped the nurses clean me up and weigh and measure me.  I was 6 pounds and one ounce and was 18 inches long! The doctor said if I was any bigger I wouldn't have been able to come out!  Good thing I was small :)  Shortly after I was born the nurses discovered I forgot to grow the roof of my mouth while I was inside mom, but the doctors, nurses, mom and dad and my grandparents are figuring out how to feed and take care of me until I am big enough (I'll probably have to be about a year old) to get surgery to fix my cleft palate.  We are learning together but all should be just fine!

Officially Homeless

We may be homeless, but we are still trying to have a lot of fun!! We closed on our house on Monday, September 30 and are all very sad to leave our wonderful home, but excited too for our next adventures. Because of some visa issues, we are now homeless for a bit until we can figure out when we can all fly over to our new apartment in Bern. In the meantime, we are staying with some very generous friends in their garage apartment. Hopefully we will all be able to head over to Switzerland soon. 

Nana came to visit and help pack!

Play time with Henry and Cora!

Exploring the boxes!

Buddies from day one!
