When our landlord planted the plant in the picture directly below, I thought it was SO ugly. Now that I have seen the flower, I have changed my mind!

Opening Ceremonies of the 2012/2013 school year!

Jonathan...a senior? Really?? Seems like yesterday I was babysitting him!

Why am I carrying the flag from Turkey??

Our great nephew, Travis (the tallest one...I was not quick enough to get a close up) and Evan, leading the way!

Jason...I love his smile!

Tuesday night picnic...

Every Tuesday evening this summer, we have hosted a very fun evening of food and fellowship in the yard where Jesse does the grounds keeping. Thanks everyone for coming out and helping to make it a huge success!

More 'random' pictures from Adelboden...

Kids creating their own fun...

Adelboden's new sports arena

This is a bridge and you would not believe all the activity on and around it...repelling, bungi jumping, zip lines, buses, trucks, cars, scooters, hikers...and no one patrolling it!!

Enjoying the mountains...

 Watching the farmers bring in the hay off the steep hills!

 The race is on!!!

Received something special in the mail today...

Thank you Coco and Graci!!

Sunday afternoon in the yard...
