BOYZ IN THE HOOD. WITH THEIR MOM.

We only live 10 minutes out of the city!

See what I mean about sweet new apartments?

You can take the girl out of Iowa, but you can't take Iowa out of the girl...

My Hawkeye roots really love a beautiful barn!

The vinyards.

The apple orchard

The mountains and lakes

The sweet sheep who live right out our window.  Levi bids them good morning, good day, and good night daily.

This apartment sits next to a sweet old house

More old and new contrast in the neighborhood

Switzerland does a lot of things well--it's almost like the whole country is an interactive magazine spread that has popped off the pages of FINE LIVING.  Apart from the dynamic natural beauty of this country, I haven't seen anywhere that combines old and new architecture as well as they do it here.  I brought my camera on one of my walks with the boys through the neighborhood this week to illustrate my point.  The Iowa girl in me still loves beautiful old barns-and the way the Swiss seem to nestle their brand new modern apartment buildings in amongst their chalets and farm houses somehow works beautifully.  It's crazy.  Throw in some cows, sheep, mountains, vineyards, apple orchards, lakes, and walking paths everywhere--and you have paradise.  Otherwise known as Schweiz!  

Spring has sprung!!

Our country road up the hill that Chris cycles on

This barn, converted into a gallery, is across the street from our flat

Anyone need to shoot a country music video?
