We were so excited to have Aunt Allison and Uncle Greg come to visit for a week...especially after such a sad end to our Paris trip. We definitely needed a boost and they delivered. Right off the bat they surprised us with the fabulous news that they are expecting a baby girl on Christmas day! Even though they waited almost 5 months to give us the news, I can't really complain because we received it in person.

Alex enjoyed watching "Cars" with Greg



Ruby and Alex had so much fun. Allison and Greg included them in so many activities including cards, movies, wiffle ball, swimming at the pool....even cooking. While they were here we went to Nyon, Rolle, Morges, Annecy and Geneva for the annual fair. Luckily for us they put up with rainy weather, cranky kids and early morning wake-ups. Unfortunately, Pete was laid up with the stomach flu for a couple of days, but we made the best of it. We were all sad to see them go. As we drove away from the airport Alex said it best, "If it weren't for you mom, I wish I was going with them on the plane."

Ruby and Alex had their first taste of coconut milk-neither one of them liked it

Alex had a little bit better technique

You can see that they are both braver than their mom
