Apologies for my very long absence. We have been on holiday for the entire month of January, and have now just emerged from the heavy fog of jet lag.
It was a wonderful trip-- very necessary, well-filling stuff. We spent a lot of time hugging family and friends, laughing, talking, and staying up way too late. It was only our second visit back to the U.S. after moving to Europe, and while the views here are gorgeous, I really miss being home and feeling like I'm home. I don't know that it's something that you ever get over, but... we're supposed to be here now. And so we are. Here. In Switzerland.
I came home to find some very sweet blog comments waiting for me, one of them by (and I could hardly believe it myself!) the author of the Tiptoes Lightly book series, Reg Down. That pretty much made my day! The kids were so pleased that they had to bring Jeremy Mouse (and now we have his wife Jemima, too!) to the computer to show him. What fun!!
I'll be back tomorrow with pictures-- some from our trip and some that I promised you from those Christmas presents I was making for the kids. And of course I have to show off our knit Jemima Mouse, as well. She needs her moment in the limelight too! ;)

Wow! So cool! Glad to see you are getting settled in back in CH.
ReplyDeleteHooray that you are back. I have missed you here. So glad you had time to spend with good friends and family. Best wishes settling back into the rhythm of life in Switzerland. I would love to see Jemima Mouse! I still remember very clearly your post showing Jeremy. He is fantastic!
