安大大 mini get-together in Switzerland, how rare is that! We strolled up and down Lausanne's medieval old town and the Gruyères castle. We stuffed the cousins with cheese (but... there's still left-over...) and hopefully that won't ruin the rest of their European trip :-P Nicola says that the coolest thing this weekend was to "跟大惠阿姨一起畫畫"! I say the best part was to get to know the cousins all over again and laugh together!

We were about to go apartment hunting but then we got this unexpected phone call: That meant the search was off and we had a full day to enjoy Lausanne and the happy feeling of knowing where we were going to move in next. So before moving in, we moved up to the Cathedral and up some more to the Parc de l'Hermitage for finally a relaxing time in the park.

Clays, animations, karaoke, carousel, and playground! We managed to fit all these activities in one day. That's the way to end the fun year of 2011!

3:55 PM, Monday 22nd - People say every birth is different. We heard it countless times, yet only our baby girl could breath life and meaning into these empty words. And so she did with all things in our lives, spreading love, understanding and happiness in the most unexpected and touching ways. Léa, you were the missing piece of our puzzle and we are delighted to contemplate the image you revealed. Welcome!

She'd been dreaming about participating in a non-profit event for years but she probably did not expect to be the main coordinator on her first job. But if you think that KK would be taken aback by the amount of work, you're sorely mistaken. Gathering and motivating people left and right, contacting schools, meeting with officials and other active PAMP members, recruiting graphic designers, etc... she not only got the festival back on its feet but did a superb job making it exciting and educational for all the kids that were lucky to show up. Congratulations! You're the best! Let's do it again next year?
