Christmas 2010
This year, for the first time ever, we spent the holidays at home!
A fondue dinner on Christmas Eve
Finally Christmas Day arrives!
After Christmas we enjoyed some time in the city, visiting the "fish museum", Big Ben, Buckingham Palace...
... Harrod's, and the science museum.
Snow!
London got about 5 inches of snow this year, so everything shut down. Anthony was stranded in Zurich for 3 extra days because all the airports were closed. But once he finally made it home, it made for great fun!
Career Day
Brooke is an aspiring artist and Andrew plans to be a rock climber. For Christmas we're getting Will a stethoscope and a gavel for Matthew (because we also need some doctors and lawyers in the family to support us when we get old).
Skeletons
A fierce group of skeletons from the Cobra Kai dojo. Watch out or they will put you in a bodybag.

Holly (15.10.10)
It seems like ages ago now, but in October my dear friend Holly came to visit.
A day trip to Cambridge
A weekend in London
Portobello Road, Boden, Harrod's...shopping, eating and lots of good conversation! It was the most perfect girl-weekend! Thank you for making the long trip Hol!
Holly and her husband, Kumen, are the most amazing people. They have long awaited the blessing of children in their home. The link below is for their adoption profile. If you know of anyone looking for wonderful adoption parents, please pass it along.
