Mandy & Rob's First Day in Switzerland

The Yuille's first day was very eventful. It was an exhausting flight, but Rob insisted on no nap. Mandy took a nap with Reed while the rest of us went to the bar. It was a beautiful day for it too! Mandy came with Reed later and we all went to dinner then. We went to our favorite Italian restaurant and while we were there, Reed was walking around and ran his face into the corner of a chair. Blood everywhere. Poor kid can't get a break, but we decided to stay for dessert anyway!

Herbstfest

Today we were invited to a party at Reed's daycare. It was called Herbstfest, which means Autumn festival. The theme was potato's and had different games involving potato's. We decided to dive right in and threw Reed into the potato sack and he started screaming. He hated it and we just all laughed at him. I'm sure that's bad parenting, but it was pretty funny. They had a bonfire where you could grab some dough, that's right, dough, so much for marshmallows and you could roast some bread. It was really good, but very different. It was a good time and we enjoyed seeing Reed interact with some of the other children.

Chris' Hike

Yesterday Chris took some guys from Singapore that are here on business for a hike. There was a whole group of his coworkers that went with them. Unfortunately I couldn't go with them, but we plan on going as a family in the next couple of weeks. Very beautiful pictures.

Lora's Evening with us!

My Aunt Lora comes to Switzerland on business rather often, so she was here this past week and she called and asked if we wanted to meet for dinner. Of course we did and so we planned a day and time in Zurich. She calls me a few hours before we're supposed to get on the train and says that she's coming all the way to Heerbrugg, which is an extra 1 1/2 hours. We were so thrilled and couldn't believe that she'd be so generous to do all that extra traveling just to come see our place. We took her out to our favorite Italian restaurant and afterwards went back to our place until she had to catch her train back to Zurich. We had a great time and it was so nice to see some family. Reed just fell in love with her and couldn't get enough of her goofy ways. it was so funny to see them interact. Reed will certainly miss her a lot!

New Pictures

These are just some new pictures of Reed. The don't really have a category, but I put captions to explain what they are.

New Do

Well, we broke down and cut Reed's hair. We were trying to grow it out, but he kept breaking out in this weird rash on the back of his neck, so to get us all a little more sleep, we cut it off. It's amazing how different he can look after just a haircut!

New Bike & Park

We finally remembered to take pictures of my new bike. Yes, it is bright green, but it's all they had. This is just Reed and I riding around our parking lot for some pictures. It has a basket on front and a kid seat on back, it's quit a load!
There are also a few pictures of us at the park. Nothing too exciting. Hope you enjoy.

Reed Update

I just wanted to update everyone on Reed's growth and how he's doing. He's officially off the bottle, it's been several days now and I can't pack up his bottles fast enough. He's been on regular milk for some time now, but on occasion he still likes it warmed up. He is capable of walking, but refuses. He'll go in phases where he'll walk for a day and then not walk for weeks. He's stubborn like his Dad.
He has just recently started throwing temper tantrums when we leave the park, his favorite are the swings, and he loves matchbox cars and bath time. I got a bike with a kid seat and so we have been enjoying bike rides together, although he enjoys poking me in the rear and laughing. Today I actually felt him slump over like a sack of potato's so I stopped to see what was going on and he was fast asleep sucking his thumb. He's always exhausted after daycare.
Outside of that there is nothing new. We are just looking forward to Mandy and Rob coming to visit.
