The countdown begins...

Counting down the days.....my sister (we'll call her Nomie) from Swizerland is coming to visit for 5 weeks, July -Aug. The rest of her family (my three neicesn and brother in law will be here between 3-4 weeks). So...I get an entire week of my sister all to myself! It seems like a long time to have company...right? Well, actually NO not at all. Time with my sister seems to go so fast. Her kids are like my kids and vice versa. Last summer I went out there to see her and stayed for 4 weeks which seemed more like 2 weeks. The days go fast when you spend the majority of them laughing your butt off. About what? About nothing of importance just plain laughing. To the point of tears. I get my year of laughs in one short month. My mom and her husband are coming out for 2 weeks. And hopefully my niece and nephew from AZ will make it out for a weekend. I will have people coming and going for the whole month. Then Nomie and her family will leave us for a week or so to visit Yogi Bear.

America is a BIG deal to my 3 nieces. They will spend the first week comparing everything between America and Switzerland. They claim that everything is so BIG in America. Well, thats partially true. Things here are big....food...portions....grocery stores...one lead to another. I have one niece who will be in ahh of the American trends (that's the one most like me) then I have another niece that is very Swiss by nature...she will enjoy her time here but will glad to be back to the green mountains of Switzerland...and the youngest niece is still too young to get it all, she will enjoy her time here but at the same time enjoy going home. All three girls will be absolutely gaa gaa over my Pic and Pea. They will be at their every need. Pic and Pea will have little Mommies coming from every direction.

Well, 4 more weeks until the fun begins!

NO!....say it isn't true.....

Did I tell you that we finally have bonded with a couple from Chicago. Being new to this town we have only really met a few couples that we have totally bonded with. Couple friends are hard to find. I met Riley's mom at baby boot camp. We were like long lost best friends. Our kids love each other. They play good together. Pickle and Riley should be arranged for marriage...they adore each other. Pickle walks around saying Rye Rye, Rye Rye, Rye Rye, over and over. We all hit it off like peas in a pod. They also just had another baby. Mason and Peanut are 2 months apart and Pickle and Rye Rye are two weeks apart. To make a long story short...they might be moving....we are so sad! Good friends are hard to come by especially when the husbands also get along.....:(
