After this trip, I have come to the conclusion that a "perfect flight" does not exist- at least for us! This past trip we experienced missed connections, weather delays, and turbulence that caused Eliza to get sick on the plane- my worst fear!! Even though it never went as planned, it was definitely worth it to be home for the holiday.

What do you do during a five hour delay? Crawl around window sills of course!
While back in Minnesota I was often asked what felt more like home, Minnesota or Geneva. I honestly have to say at this point, both do, for different reasons. Chris and I both grew up in Minnesota and a majority of our family and friends live in Minnesota, so in Minnesota I feel at home being surrounded by family, friends, and I know where everything is. On the other hand, I feel that in our first six months living in Geneva, we have established a routine, made friends, explored new places, and in a sense have created a second home. Is it tough being away from family and friends? Absolutely. But we are still happy with our decision to try out a new "home" for awhile too.
We arrived back in Geneva on Saturday and we could not have asked for a better welcome, 59 degrees and sunny! It felt like we had landed in the Caribbean after being in negative 30 degree temps in Minnesota. The girls had so much fun playing outside- Adalyn even asked if Chris could put the sprinkler up!!
Waiting for the taxi- soaking up the sunshine!
We went to Annecy on Sunday to get some fresh air to help with the jet lag!
This week, we get back to our routine- hopefully both girls get back on Geneva time quickly- Adalyn can't get to sleep at night and Eliza wakes up for about three hours in the middle of the night ready to play. This weekend we hope to go skiing and get Adalyn on the slopes for the first time. Will keep you posted on how that goes!
Bonne journee!
