Here and there

 Although we have tried to slow life down a little bit since Evaëlle joined us, we've still had some adventures. She had her first trick-or-treating experience. Like usual, it was a very profitable evening for the kids.

 We just love having this baby girl around; she is just the sweetest. In addition to being content she also seems to have an ambitious streak- she started rolling from her tummy to her back when she was four weeks old and just started to roll from her back to her tummy to her back at 11 weeks. That's early, isn't it? In any case, I was surprised. My boys didn't do that this early. Let's hope she is not an early walker! She is also a great sleeper. I am hoping that our Christmas trip doesn't ruin her...

 Ignore the hairy legs-I just love these smiles! She doles them out whenever anyone pays her some attention.

 Jonas has decided that he doesn't like having his picture take any more, unless if involved a funny face, that is.

 We always drive by this bridge whenever we go to Annecy, but have never stopped, despite Jaxon claiming it as his favorite bridge. Well, we finally made a visit after a failed activity (I had only noticed the big bold words on the website saying that it was open everyday, missing the fine print that said that was only in July and August...)

 
Thanksgiving with friends.

  The ice skating rink is finally open!

 Yummy Hot Chocolate! But Daniel wouldn't know. He opted out of drinking the part we saved for him at the end...

We got a bunch of good snow in the mountains so Daniel took the boys skiing. I have to say, I was a little bit jealous, but in any case I had a bunch of work for another WHO consultancy I am doing. (Does it still count as maternity leave?) And in any case, I am pretty sure Eva would not have appreciated the -7 degrees Celsius.  In any case, the boys had a wonderful time. Vive the ski season!
