Finally some pictures

I've been really busy these days. Hard to find time to post any pictures. The big news is that our house has been sold and that we will be moving into the new one on December 19th.

Here are Brandon and Alicia playing together



Alicia drinking her bottle outside on the swings in the sunshine. We had quite the snow fall last weekend. Not much left of it now though. Alicia doesn't know what to make of it. She looks at it and says berk, it's dirty outside.

Alicia and Brandon got and early Christmas present. They each got a Diamond Gould bird. Brandon's is the male to the left which he named Jacko and Alicia's is the female to the right that she named Titou.

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures from Halloween

Brandon wanted to dress up as something scary this year.

Alicia put on the family clown suit (she can probably wear it for the next 2 holloweens, it is still quite big on her)

Did anyone else enter the pumpkin carving contest this year?
Brandon helped me carve a witch (I was a little nervous the way he was holding the knife, but he still has his ten fingers and no injuries)
hard to get a good night picture.

Aquapark

For Brandon last day of his fall vacation, I took him to Aquapark
He loved the water slides
Running through the wave pool
and jumping over the waves.

swimming lessons and outside

Here are a couple of pics taken at Brandon's swimming lesson open house

There has been fog almost every morning for the past couple of weeks.
When the fog is out, it's a good time to play gameboy.
But, as soon as it lifts, outside we go...
Alicia loves to play with balls.

What's that sand doing on the ball?

La Fete des vendanges

This weekend was the Fête des Vendanges weekend.

Corcelles-Cormondrèche was the special commune invited this year.All the children from the school in our commune were all dressed up.

I think there theme was supposed to be the new tunnel that just opened up in our commune.

There were lots of musicians

As always, it snowed confetti.
Brandon here is trying to take the confetti out of Alicia's hair.On the bumper cars
We tried to get Alicia to go on this small train with Brandon. She screamed and yelled until I took her off. So, Brandon had to go by himself. He was not very impressed with this baby ride.

Dancing

At the parc

I was a sunny but slightly chilly weekend. We went for a walk down by the lake in Auvernier.
Alicia wasn't too hot about holding Brandon's hand but didn't want to let go of Maeva's (this made Brandon a little jealous).
We of course had to stop off at the park.
Climbing has always been Brandon's favorite thing to do.

Alicia playing on the slide.

Rainy weekend

It was a rainy weekend.
Alcia thought playing with Brandon's cars were a lot of fun

Even Daddy got to playCourse sometimes they had to fight over who got which one.
In our house cars can fly too.

2 days in Paris

I went to Paris for a two day course last week. The course finished at 5pm the first day and so my colleague that I went there with took me on an intensive 3 hour walk throughout Paris so that we could see all the touristy monuments.

the Arch de Triomphe
the Tour Eiffel

Lady Diana's monument

AAlthough I didn't see anything special here, I couldn't help but take the picture.
