We are missing a movie, and so went looking around the house for it (the boys had all the movies out the other day, lining them up to look at all of the covers (as well as taking all the Mancala marbles and throwing them around the house)) - see what happens when Mommy leaves for the... (More)

Switzerland: Back to the USA (12 Jan 2009)

Very early in the morning, we got up, had breakfast and said goodbye to Sarah (all the other Dutlers said goodbye the night before.) Janet and Stephan came to pick us up and we crammed all ourselves and stuff into the mini-minivan. They took us to the Basel airport where we spent quite... (More)

Switzerland: The Last Day (11 Jan 2009)

We missed our intended tram for the morning, but the next one got us to church just barely in time. In fact, we met the Dutlers coming up the sidewalk. It was nice to visit Janet's church. This is, in fact, where she met Stephan. Jon told Jonathan he could go to Sunday School if he... (More)

Switzerland: Germany and France (07 Jan 2009)

We intended to get up early and go back to Richard's to finish vacuuming and do a wash (Wednesday - Mittwoch - being his assigned wash day.) However, we spent a while eating breakfast with our hosts. It turned out that Richard had come home late the night before so he had started a wash first... (More)

Switzerland: Around Basel (06 Jan 2009)

The morning got off to a slow start, but we did more packing and I believe Mom and Dad came to Richard's so we could all go together to the heart of Basel. We were originally going to see some sights and then meet Janet and Stephan for lunch, but we ended up just getting there in time for... (More)

Switzerland: Sickness, Hymn Sing, Lucerne (04-05 Jan 2009)

The Swiss prefer to drink their water with carbonation and it's hard to find bottled water without it. The tap water in most places (including the public outdoor fountains) is perfcetly drinkable but you have to ask for it. At the castle, they served us the "with gas" kind most of the... (More)

Switzerland: Wedding! (03 Jan 2009)

I woke up around 6am (with alarm) and got ready to go to Valda's to get my hair done. I got myself some yummy muesli with yogurt and sat down in the living room to eat, only to see the clock and note that I needed to leave in only a few minutes. I gulped a few more mouthfuls as I put my... (More)

Switzerland: Meetings and Rehearsals (01-02 Jan 2009)

Waking up at the above mentioned 2pm left us just enough time to get ready to go to the Renaissance Dance Rehearsal at 3:00. Janet wanted us to dance to medieval music at the wedding reception and thought it would be a good idea for us to practice ahead of time. About 20 of us were there,... (More)

Switzerland: En Route (30-31 Dec 2008)

Barbara drove us, with our two big suitcases, three backpacks, computer suitcase, and small/hand bag, to the bus station in Concord. We got there just in time to buy tickets and get on the bus that took us to Logan airport in Boston. Check-in went smoothly and our biggest suitcase was just... (More)

Notes

I am now on vacation and so can spare a few minutes to type up the notes that have been hanging in my pocket for a while. I will apologize to my readers for making them wait so long, but I will not feel guilty. Blogging is something most mothers in the history of the world did not have on... (More)

Eggs Presnor

This is the traditional Christmas breakfast in the Daley family. It is too good to only have once a year, and I often make it for potluck brunches. No one knows where the "Presnor" part comes from. The original recipe from Jon's mom has plain monterey jack cheese, but the pepper jack gives... (More)

More Fun with Water

It has been annoying me that the "tagcloud" on the side panel has the largest word "water", (it sizes the words based on the count the frequency of word usage in our most recent posts), but here I go again, adding to the count. We had a bunch of water in our basement again, this time... (More)

Life With Three

...is going great, but has its challenges. I'm probably not the only one to brush someone's teeth with one hand while bouncing a crying baby with the other. But bedtime is pretty much the only time of high demand from all at once. Jonathan is great about waiting and about helping Faith... (More)

Carroll Street is Officially For Rent

We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)
