What we've been up to since we came back

.

Good ole' Bavarian baking

and Swiss hot chocolate

We also celebrated a couple birthdays with family and friends, sushi (thanks, Ulli!) and cake

(Lily loves sushi but it MUST be eaten with chopsticks, which calls for intense focussing, and often those California rolls just fall apart anyways.)

Missed you so! :)

Spring is here and the bikers are back!

So are the biking injuries. (Finn, of course.)

And count on our son to catch the stomach bug that went around preschool weeks ago, while we were safely away. This child catches EVERYTHING. He threw up for the first time at 10:30pm the night before Neil's birthday and then every 15 to 30 minutes UNTIL 8 IN THE MORNING. We're still catching up on sleep. On the upside, Neil was up for about 22 out of 24 hours of his birthday. That counts for something!

Happy to say, no one else got this and it only lasted a couple days. But Finn was very miserable and after talking to his doctor in the morning Neil took Finn to the children's hospital. We were able to rehydrate him without an IV (THANK GOODNESS for no needles!), so he didn't have to stay there over night. Now he is all better, but lost some more weight. He also lost a pound at the rehab center, so now Lily is officially heavier than him. But don't tell Finn!
