Wow – I can’t believe so much time has passed since I wrote about my life in Switzerland. I really like my life – it’s pretty cool to have two mommies and a pup that love me so much! I love them too! And I love to give everyone “big hugs” too!
So let’s see, my life since you heard from me last (way back in March) …
April: Good friends Steve and Heath visited us from Florida. We had a great time being tour guides through Geneva and we went to see some Roman ruins in Avenches, Switzerland. It was really cool for me to run through the old, old, old amphitheater. I celebrated Easter with my cousins from Germany. They drove all the way to Switzerland for the celebrations this year. We went a tulip festival, a Swiss chocolate factory, Gruyere cheese factory, and held an Easter egg hunt in our garden! It was so much fun and many of my friends came too! Mama had to go to Mexico City for work after Easter. She was gone for a long time and I missed her very much.
May: Most of May was spent with both my mommies home to play with. It was great!
June: And then Mama had to make another trip to Mexico City for work, so I suggested that Mommy, Chance and I go to visit the Calders in Germany. Little did I know when I made that suggestion – just how much time it required of me to sit in my car seat! Ugh! But once we got there we had a wonderful time with a trip to Playmobile Park, an animal park, celebrating Heather’s 5th birthday, and just having a great time. I watched Heather and Hugh do all sorts of things that I wanted to do too!
July: Here’s where the fun really took off. We went on a long airplane ride to the States. We spent a week with all the Felch family in the Pocono Mountains. It was loads of fun! We went to see a pretzel factory, a candy factory, a wild animal park, the lake, and the ice cream store lots of times! I loved spending time with all my family from over the pond. We even had some family from MA come celebrate Mommy’s birthday with us!
The next week in the States we did some work at the homestead on Woodland Drive and visited with great friends in the Yardley area! Then we traveled to Atlanta to visit two great-aunts on Mama’s side. Melissa Day also joined us for a trip to the GA Aquarium where we saw beluga whales and lots of other cool water critters.
When we returned from the States we took a train to Paris for a weekend trip. I got to see the final stage of the Tour de France. It was fabulous! When the riders went by I had to look really fast to catch a glimpse of the Maillot Jaune (the winner). Of course my first trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without seeing some of the great places like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, so we checked those out too!
August: After all that traveling in July, we needed some time to rest. So we spent August hanging around the flat in Geneva. Of course we went to parks and playgrounds, but I spent every night in my own bed for a change.
September: Too much rest in August required a 4 day trip to London in early September. So we hopped a short flight and visited the Queen. She wasn’t home by the way … but we did get to see her Staterooms at Buckingham Palace, her horses at the Royal Mews, her flower garden in all the parks, and her art gallery. We also played in lots of the parks around London – I love the big, safe open places to run and play. We also went to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, Kensington Palace, and as many playgrounds as we could find! The photo here is in front of Kensington Palace.

I like the concept of the swimming classes, but it depends on the day if I’m really into it or not. In between all that fun I still have to help my mommies clean the house, do the laundry, cook the meals, clean the dishes, and do the grocery shopping. I have no idea how it all comes together … but it usually does. I love it when we have family sushi making meal. We all stand at the kitchen counter and each of us has a job – mine is to put the rice on the seaweed. One scoop for the sushi roll, one scoop for my mouth!
That seems to catch us up to date. I mustn’t get behind in my tales again – it takes too long to write them when I do.
I hope you enjoyed the stories and the pictures. Please write to me and tell me what is going on in your life!
