Fear over come Yeah!!!!!!

What an exciting week it has been so far. I am so excited to have posted my first blog and thank-you so much for your response it has been fun reading you comments and news from those whom I have not heard from in a while.I have a little "Mummy " free time so thought I would fill you in on the week so far.


We are so excited because Jack went to "Waldspeilegruppe" by himself and made a new friend. She is very cute and attends an English and German speaking Kindy. This is great for Jack as he will find it easier to communicate so I am sure this will make him more comfortable. If those who do not know " Waldspeilgruppe" is a forest group , which Jack goes to every Monday morning for 2 hours. They go off into the forest and learn about the forest ,build a tree house(on the ground), build a fire and cook their sausages for lunch. We loved the idea of him being out doors and it was a different experience from Pre-school in Oz. Max will be able to go when he turns 3. Both the kids are dropping the odd German word, so I am sure it will not be long before they are speaking it.
I went last night with my neighbor L to a "Flormarkt" in Urdorf for Children's"s clothes. It was held on a church hall and by what I could figure out, you bring your second hand children's clothes and they would display and sell them for you. I picked up some great bargains for Max and l and I will go tomorrow morning and check out bargains for Jack's age group. It is on twice a year with the season change.
Today is my Scrapbooking day. I love going into Zurich and having time out with my American friends getting my photo's organized. We have loads of fun. Sometimes I am not sure how much gets done because we gas bag so much. We all need major help with our Swiss German so after scraping we head off to Swiss German lessons at the church. My first lesson was today. Wow do I need help!!!!!!!! German and Swiss German are so grammatically different, I am sure after 3 years I will have mastered some. It is so hard to study after so many years of a stagnant brain cells.
Vetti arrived back today and had fantastic time in London. She stayed with my wonderful cousin and her boyfriend. They really looked after her. We look forward to returning the favor in October.
Off to have dinner with our neighbor's tonight. So wonderful not having to think about what to do for dinner.
Well "Mummytime" up see you soon.
