2008

2008 was one heck of a year. Busier than ever. And with the boys getting bigger than ever. The good news is that your faithful webmaster has captured every moment of interest and provided you with more cheesy photos than any visitor might demand. And I do not think you will be disappointed. Lets start with the autumn view of Lac Leman taken right from our balcony - enjoy!

DUCK! I know you are thinking that this pair looks like an innocent pair of young men learning to ski - but its not true. When they are not bombing down the slopes, they are firing snowballs at anyone within range. Why are you still sitting there? You have not moved! Well - don't blame me - you have been warned.
