BABY'S FIRST EASTER

Easter is such a great holiday. It's finally spring, there's lots of good food and candy and no pressure to decorate your house or buy presents (although Kate and Daisy did share an Easter basket full of goodies.) Kate enjoyed watching her cousins play and trying fit the plastic eggs in her mouth.

VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine's Day cards are so much more fun when you make them yourself. After many, many fails, these are two of the cards that we sent out to friends and family. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Here are a few pics from one of my favorite holidays. Matt actually bought the little shark costume back in July, before the baby was even born. She humored us by wearing it for a few minutes, but it didn't last too long. Oh well. Happy Halloween!

SWITZERLAND PART II - BERN

Bern was one my favorite places in Switzerland. I'd recommend following Rick Steve's walking tour of the city - without it, you could wander right through the historic old town area without realizing what you're seeing. The walk starts near the train station and ends near the famous bear pit. You'll pass one of Einstein's apartments and the Zytglogge clock tower, which has stood at the edge of the city in one form or another since the 1200's. It's one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world and is even a UNESCO Heritage Site, which is cool if you're a history nerd like me.
