Halloween!!

Receiving Marisa's old witch costume from Cindy just a day before her party, Cora was able to dress as a Wicked Beahm Witch for Halloween! 

She had a great time dancing all around and playing with her friends on Wednesday morning, however, when we attempted to take her trick-or-treating in Bern on Saturday night, she wanted nothing to do with it. She was so scared, and we only managed a few houses before we drove the hour back home. Hopefully she won't be too traumatized! But she certainly was one of the cutest witches I have ever seen! 


Trying on her costume!
So in LOVE with it that she even napped in it.

Before English playgroup!




Zoe and her sisters where the three little bears!



Her light up shoes added quite the touch.







(She weighs about 5 pounds less than that green 7-month old Aussie goliath baby to her right.) 

Weekend hiking!

Hiking around an awesome open air Swiss museum last Sunday. The museum featured various replications of different historic Switzerland Cantons with houses, exhibits and farms for touring.  It was pretty cool!









An old well. Where they put bad, whining children. 

A standard Swiss stockli, where farmers would live.

At the Bern Zoo, pretending to be seals. Of course. 


Cora and her buddies!

First Snow!

Once again, we've been spending our time hiking, learning, playing and exploring! Cora is so much fun and curious and excited about everything!


Hiking in the first snow!




It was freezing at the top! Thank goodness for Kiki!


We are still bribing Cora with ice cream for potty training. It's working pretty good!

Walking through Schwarzenburg with three toddlers on bikes, two mamas, two strollers,  two dogs, and one baby. It was an exciting disaster.

Leaves!



Little baby Amelie smiled her very first smile at our house and I was able to get a photo of it! 

Hanging out, exploring Bern.


Bad day.

Riding the carousel with her friend Lilly at the monthly outdoor Schwarzenburg market. 

Taking a break from playing soccer in the ally behind our house. We need a proper backyard!
