Autumn has begun and it is measurably cooler. What does not discourage us to continue to grill outside. The kids love it. I prefer the summer time :-)
We look forward to the Christmas season. The children created handicrafts to offer to the godparents. It looks very nice and they were proud about their work.

This weekend my son took part in a cross race bike. He was very happy and had lots of fun. I really like this sport, especially impressed me how fair they are among themselves. When somebody drop down, they always ask after how he is doing. Big fairplay.Unfortunately it was raining but we still had fun. And for the final the sun was back.

Soon autumn holiday are starting and the first school semester is over. Both children like to go to school. But they are both tired.

School time was starting. Both kids are very proud to go. It feels special for me, it is very quiet at home ;-)

and the last one some nature picture :-)

some more pictures

Holidays

We went to a small village in the mountains. So we did a lot of walking, some swimming in a lake (too cold for me but not for the kids), minigolf, biking and had a great time.

The kids are very good walker. I am happy for this because I hope in some years we can go trekking in Nepal.

The weather was cold but some sunny days. 4 Cousins of the kids were also in the same place. It was very nice to be close of the family and my kids apreciated to play with the cousins.

a highlight was the climbing ground. The minimum of heigh was 1m and Karuna is just little bit less. But she did it and was very proud.

Now there are 2 weeks more holiday and after this I have a child in kindergarden and the other one is starting school. They are growing so fast.

my 14 year old nephew like to take photographs. So there are some pictures of me. The kids like to be with him.

also one of the rare family picture

The birthday parties for this year are over. Karuna and Mathieus birthdays are just 2 weeks apart. We had a nice indian party for Mathieu. He was very happy.

Last week we went to a tropical garden. It was very nice, the kids were interested and did like the animals. There are specially butterflies and lots of explication why to save the tropics.

One year ago we were in Nepal for the adoption of Karuna. It feels much longer then a year. it feels like she is here since everytime. What a gift to have such nice children. We are very grateful.

For the memory one picture from our first meeting with her.

4th birthday!

Karuna did apreciate this day.

Her brother was responsible to make coffee for the guest.

lots of fun with biking

Easter weather was great. For Karuna it was the first time so she didn't really understand what her brother was doing. But after a while she did appreciate.

she was in her element when she could paint the eggs.
