It's more than a month since we returned from Nevada, and we have been enjoying life as a family again. At home we have upgraded Lucy's bedroom with a new desk and wardrobe, which she chose and helped to assemble. Mike has been out and about in the Alps, appreciating that the local flora and fauna might not seem quite as exotic as in Nevada, but are just as beautiful. And the sunny weather has been just right for pre-breakfast walks through the local countryside with Belka.
