Oh, Weekends!

 Well, as you can see, our little gal is quickly growing.  

It is bitter sweet to watch her change day by day, but we are doing our best to hold onto each precious moment.

This weekend we:

Rode on the much missed "white wheel" high above the city

Enjoyed Herbsmesse

Hiked through vineyards in Germany

Went for runs and enjoyed the gym 

All the while basking in the beauty of the fall!

 Our new mode of transportation these days!  Thank you Janet!

 Noah in the white wheel!

 Crossing borders...too bad Tessa slept through the excitement!

 Grapes taste so much better fresh from the vine!

 Tessa all smiles in the vineyards!

Siblings

 As you can see from our recent postings, we haven't been traveling much since sweet Miss Tessa's arrival.  

Partly because we don't have her Passport yet and also because Robert has been away with work.  Nonetheless, we are enjoying time in Basel and this incredible time of year.

 Our growing gal

 She's a happy one

The Fall

Right now we are basking in the joy of the fall.

Visiting pumpkin farms.

Taking boat rides on the Rhine.

Enjoying our family of four and finding our new rhythm.

Getting cozy at night under warm blankets.

Baking muffins, cookies, cooking soups and veggies.

Hiking in the woods - oh, how I love those woods!

Saying "good-bye" to dear, dear friends.

Feeling most grateful for our family and the joy they bring.

 A hike in Muttenz, yes, we walked with the horses for a wee bit!

 Noah and his best buddies - Daniel and Thomas.

 Discovering a pumpkin farm in the woods.
