Home Sweet Home

After a week's delay with our air shipment, we finally left the hotel in Divonne to stay permanently at our home in Bogis-Bossey. It was a rude awakening to say the least. We had no furniture at all; no beds, no sofa, no table and chairs, and of course no TV. Some of these items would be coming in a few months, but most of December and January found us shopping away for furniture and electronics. Thank goodness for IKEA! and as I mentioned for those lovely folks who lent us some furniture in the interim.

Hooray! for the borrowed table and chairs

TV was at the top of the shopping list for the boys.

We didn't have cable but at least they could watch a few movies on the big screen.

Finally, in the new year, our cargo shipment arrived. We were so shocked that they had emptied the sea container into two separate trucks.  And even more so when we realized our car had not arrived.

It would be stuck in customs for about another month, but that's another story.

 At least we had our couch and dining set back! Now for the arduous task of unpacking.

 "Bon courage!" as they say here.

We celebrated with some very Canadian treats-- chocolate chip cookies.

So yummy!



Ethan has really taken on Swiss culture and now prefers chocolate macarons!

These are from the bakery, I haven't attempted to make French pastries yet. Still on the hunt for a replacement for my beloved KitchenAid mixer...
