A few days after Momo and Jake left Zürich, it was our turn to cross the border – this time, we went to Peter’s hometown to visit his family and friends. It was L’s first time to see her auntie Karin and her family. Here are some photos from our long weekend in Germany.

Jake has arrived!!
November 2, 2009 · 7 Comments
Jake arrived in Zürich one hour earlier than expected. When we saw the arrival time on Internet, Momo, L and I hurried to the airport as fast as we could. Of course L wanted to stop and look around all the time, and she sometimes walked back the way she came.

Stepchild Adoption
November 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
In today’s SonntagsZeitung, there was an article “Stiefkind Adoption (Stepchild Adoption)” about the adoption in Switzerland. Since there is no concrete statistic or research on adoptive families in Switzerland, it’s hard to say if those adoptions have been successful or not. But the question is, what really defines a successful adoption? In the open adoption forum we attended back in March, the same question was discussed along with many other topics. I always want more people to know about adoption, and I was thrilled to find an adoption-related article in the major paper in Switzerland.
I copied the complete article (in German) before it vanishes to the archive:

X’mas Card
November 1, 2009 · 8 Comments

For last X’mas card, we slacked off and asked Momo to send us a set from Urban Outfitters. Momo later told me about Paper Source where I found more card designs I liked.
Since Momo is here this year, we decided to ask her for a family portrait and use it for the card. I discovered Minted in Real Simple and wants to order from here instead of Photoworks (but less expensive!!).

Momo’s Days in Zürich
November 1, 2009 · 6 Comments
For those of Momo’s friends who are my blog stokers, here are some photos of her you’ve been waiting for!! She is doing great and makes us laugh all the time. =D
Whenever Momo and I crack up (which we do all the time), L joins us and laughs out loud. Her laugh is so adorable we just have to hug her.
