Random fall 2011 pictures.

I must admit that after Grandma Shelley left we put the camera away and didn't get it out for a bit.  Until they started tearing down the building next door.  This was an awesome process (it took them like 3 months to demolish this building) and the kids could just watch this all day long.  They don't just blow up a building and call it good here.  Nope.  They have to take it apart and recycle everything they can.  And then when they have it torn down to cement they grind it up and continue to sift through it until they have separated every last piece of metal.  Waste not, want not, I guess.

At the beginning of October my mom and Aunt Nancy came.  They had taken a family history trip down in Italy (yes, I am part Italian on my mom's side) and then they took a bit longer to really sight see as well down there.  They arrived here and immediately took over my car and headed off on some day trips here in Switzerland.  Aunt Nancy went home a few days later and we had a couple of lazy weeks with my mom.  I mean really lazy since this is literally the only picture I got of her while she was here.

Yes, James and Johnny jump naked on my bed every night before I manage to wrestle them into their jammies.

We did a lot of kids stuff while my mom was here.  We went to Espace Junior which is a seasonal bouncy house place here in Geneva.  They have about 50 huge bouncy houses.  The kids love it!  James at the bottom of the huge slide.

Johnny (last year he was too young to really enjoy himself) having the time of his life.

Look at that smile.

I took his socks off and it helped a lot for his grip.

Sorry for the overload of Johnny but he is just too cute!

We played play dough.

More playing on the bed.  Looks like I posed them but I did not.  That would be weird.

Now, I feel bad that I didn't do more with my mom.  Perhaps I can tempt her to come back out and squeeze these boys some more (and go to Prague with me)...Mom???
