Hello, friends! After our cold and rainy, yet lovely time in Ireland we were glad to get back to France. We were welcomed with fantastic weather and were super grateful to get to have a couple of beautiful weeks here spent mostly at the lake and hiking of course.  These crazy bums loved the waterfall […]

Y’all, we had the best time in Ireland. Yes, it was rainy and cold. However, it has been so hot in France that we were ready for a break. Also we got to hang out with my mom! We were all so happy to hang out with her that it hardly mattered what we did […]

Vive le Tour! Y’all we had the best time watching the tour, but full disclosure, it’s not easy to do! We knew we wanted to go see the riders  while they were racing about an hour from our house. Since they close the roads the night before the race, the only way to see them […]

Hello, friends! I hope y’all are doing well. I know a lot of people in the U.S. started their summer vacations a while back, but in France school doesn’t get out until July 7. They do get 4 two weeks breaks throughout the school year though so I guess it all evens out. And I’m […]

October was action packed! We dove right into our new life and said yes to every opportunity. The weather started to cool a bit and we did lots of hiking. Our new friends introduced us to lots of new trails and the views continued to wow us. Everyday is like “The sound of music” here. […]

We had a great visit to Italy with Craig’s parents and we’re excited to bring them back here to enjoy our new home. We enjoyed some great food and wine. I think they liked it here! We love traveling, but funnily the more we travel, the more we realize that we love France the best, […]

April was the stuff of dreams! We visited some amazing places and cemented our love for Italy. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. We started the month by buying rollerblades for the kids. This photo sums up the experience. They are pros now but the first few times were quite dramatic. The […]

March was the end of skiing for us. The weather was beautiful where we live but too slushy up in the mountains. You can see the snow at the tops of the mountains in this pic of the kids. We tried to go a few times but we mostly ended up hanging out at a […]

Hello, friends! Welcome to February! After a nice January in France, we were ready to hit the road again for some adventure. We found fights to Greece for 40 bucks and and were super stoked to explore during the kids winter break. The kids get 4 two week breaks throughout the school year so it’s […]

And we’re back to France! January is the month we went crazy skiing. We all had lessons and of course the kids were instant pros. Me, not so much, but I had fun and the mountains are so beautiful covered with snow. We averaged going twice a week through January at La Clusaz so we […]

December was funny for weather. We thought winter was here because of the snow in November, but then we didn’t see it again in December. We did a lot of hiking and had sunny nice weather. And Esther’s friend taught her the art of fort building! We also got to take a trip back to […]

November! We had a great November! For one thing, my mom came to visit. We had a fantastic time and loved showing her around our new turf. The kids were super happy to have her here as well. We took her to Chamonix and it was nice to be in a ski resort town off […]
