and there are some impressions from Kathmandu

oh how time flies ... we had a great summer with lots of sun, swimming in the lake and fun. In October we traveled to Nepal. Many memories came up. It was really great time. The children visited their children's homes, and were received with love. This was very important for them and they were very happy about the many friends they did see again. We did a lots of visits and the days were full. Now the normal daily life has started again and the kids are in school.

And now I have a grown up boy also. He celebrated his 8th birthday. Time really flies... I am very proud of my boy. One day later he did again a bike cross race. He really love it even if he is more or less behind the other pilotes.

our little girl is 5 !!

Today was an athletic day. We did participate at the Slow Up. There the road is closed for 7 hours for all motorized vehicles. It is a Round Lake. The weather was nice but a bit windy. The children were very proud of their achievement. They drove about 25 km. I had also a lot of fun but my muscles register now ;-) http://www.slowup-murtensee.ch/cms21/showlinx.asp?id=70&lang=2 today there were not so many people so it was ok for the kids. Otherwise it is sometimes little bit dangerous.

We are happy that spring is starting. For the first time we could do a bike trip with both children. It was really great. All had fun and were proud of their achievement. At the end of the exercise we had ice cream!

Today we were in a dinosaur park. The children had a lot of fun. Because of the thawing the ground had become soggy. It was very dirty. Today I was so glad to have a washing machine.
The dinosaurs were in nature size. This was very impressive.
Now we have holidays for one week.

we have little bit snow. so there are some winter activities.

pictures of new year and the meeting

We had a nice Christmas time. The kids were a little excited but full of joy. We had a quiet New Year's celebration with a lot of fun. Now I'm curious what will bring us the new year.

At the end of the old year we had a great meeting with friends from America. Her son and Karuna have spent together the first 3 years in the orphanage.
