 I caught Winston polishing off the pumpkin pie. And I have been watching a lot of shows put on by these two. I love what great playmates they are.

 Bike rides and baby raccoons.

 Where O likes to hide when I'm setting up Primary. These three did wonderful in the program.

 Winston loves the snow.

 Picked up our skies and we're reading to go

 Violet participated in her first Lanternweg. She made this dragon lantern and then she and the other kindergarteners walked around town singing songs and then circled these giant bonfires for more songs.

 A Swiss winter tradition is candle making. The kids can dip their own wicks into the wax. Supervised by a handful of teenagers. We loved it.

 Gearing up for the winter.

 Violet drew herself and Winston in chalk. They looked the exact same to me.

 We met up with a friend to go to the Zurich Christmas Market.

 This cat showed up at our home one morning after a snowstorm. She was fat, lazy and put up with a lot from Oscar. He loved her. I think his first word might have been "cat". We were all a little sad when she went home again.

Speaking of O, he is sweet and adorable as ever. These little green mouse slippers we bought for Winston in Nepal are fitting him perfectly and I think they might be his go to shoes now. 

Eliot had her first swim meet. This definitely isn't rec summer league. She swam hard and had the positive attitude that it was very inspiring.
