This is how Henry counts down his week. He's doing fine by the way. His mood has been better and there has been less struggle to go to school. He's a good boy. Elsa is also doing a good job. She had to start going two afternoons in addition to her four mornings. That's a lot for a four year old.
Henry has Cross-Country skiing on Wednesday (no school on Wednesday in Geneva). He leaves at 8:00 AM and doesn't get home until 5:00 PM. He loves it. He looks forward to it all week. Since we arrived in Switzerland in July he has wanted to be in the mountains and the snow. I'm glad it has been all that he was hoping/expecting.
Elsa and Henry had their first down-hill ski lesson this week and they loved it. Henry mastered the bunny hill and even went off and stuck the jump they had set up. Elsa was a bit more reserved, but also had a great time. She is fearless on the sled.
We met up with some friends for skiing and of course ended the day with some delicious hot chocolate.
As for church. . . it is their day to speak English freely with friends. They've never enjoyed church as much. In fact yesterday ended up being there for six hours. When we were finally ready to go, I couldn't find them anywhere. Apparantly there was a video broadcast for the YAs and Henry and Elsa had sat down on the last row to watch it. They just hadn't had enough. ha ha.

WOW! 6 hours at church- I can't even make it to 3! The kids look so darling in their ski gear!
I'm glad to hear Henry is doing better. Bless those sweet kiddos hearts. Keep giving them cookies and hot chocolate!
Cheers - To the slopes!
Oh that just sounds like so much fun! I'm glad that Henry is doing better. I try to imagine what his days must be like. Hard but worth it! He gets to learn FRENCH and to SKI and to have a closer relationship with his family. What could be better!
I miss you guys! xoxox
