Welcome to harmony's Roundeo.

In Utah Cado's left side front tooth started wiggling. the dentist said it was fractured and dead and needed to come out. Its a latent result of the car accident. It came out within a day or two of this photo. He got a popsicle and 2 francs under his pillow. He handled it like a champ!

This is our "backyard pool." Its very close to our house. We have a park right behind our house that's our "backyard park" too. they have little wading pools all over the city. Something that really peeves me about Southern California is the lack of free public/community things and events. I will greatly miss that here. there's always festivals, music, markets, etc. as well as large, fun parks, petting zoos, carousels, a lake, a river, little wading pools, etc. There's just so much more available to get out and do in the community. In America it is more like you have to create it for yourself by building your own pool or your own playground in your backyard. There isn't the connection to your community or neighbors like their is here. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I think that is generally true. At least in California. I thought Utah was much better that way. There are fun big pools everywhere, and community events and culture, little community theaters, etc. I don't like the idea of I have my big house, my big yard, my big car and I keep to my big self! ha! there's my soapbox for the day!

Uh Oh sounds like Ca is loosing it's appeal more and more. I do understand what you are saying and agree whole-heartedly. What is even better about all those things you are talking about is they are free too, yes? This truly looks like fun. Remember when we got in TROUBLE for letting the kids swim and play at the Orange mall where they had all those pools and fountains tempting the kids on a hot summer day. Enjoy it while you can. It's all the LIBERAL's fault. No actually it's the sue happy people here that ruin it for all.

you can see the Jet d'eau from here. we live quite close to the river and not far from the lake.

I spy a cutie pie.

I spy two cutie pies.

oh this is at the park next to the backyard pool. the whole thing is built over the train tracks.

Costumes, costumes and more costumes. and silliness. this girl is a crack up!

Grami is thrilled that she is finally loving her princess costumes I gave her.

Another wading pool thats a 10 minute walk away, Parc Trembley. We went with Daddy and met the Cowan kids and their Daddy (because Jenny had just had their baby)

looks like a tropical volcano or something huh. its nice now that winter's over to be able to see all the mountains so clearly.

BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! I want this picture. It fits her so well.

two little blondies having some girl bonding

they're so cute together. I love our friends. Our kids are best friends and play so well and can't get enough of each other. And for the first time since being a mom I have great girlfriends who are in the same situation as I am, who live close, who have kids my kids age, who like getting together and doing stuff and talking! Its sooo fun! I know I'll miss that more than anything. Like we miss Grandparents and Uncles/Aunts.

I am glad you put that last statement in, I was beginning to worry you guys might decide to stay in Switzerland.
