The Vance family is moving to Switzerland. Jonathan has accepted a position with a company near Luzern.
Why? They have great chocolate in Switzerland. The bread is really good, too. The mountains are a bonus. And Jenelle and Jonathan think it would be fun to live in Europe again for a few years.
As any almost-three-year-old can tell you, international travel is not to be taken lightly. That’s why the Road Warrior Princess makes no compromises, as seen in her recent trip to Switzerland and Germany.
Annika left the comforts of Oregon prepared:

Those who know me well, are very aware that I’m a numbers nerd. What better way to sum up the one-year birthday of Clara and Nicolyn than with a few solid numbers for posterity.

Nana brought wonderful birthday presents for the girls. Together, everyone went to the zoo on a beautiful Saturday.
What were you smoking? Can I have some?
For Annika, picking out the right pajamas for the evening is a big deal: she won’t wear Big Sister jammies or cow jammies if she thinks that it should be a monkey jammies night. So, she was very excited when she one day decided that her brown polka-dot nightgown was reversible: ballet slippers on one side, polka dots on the other. Of course, now she faces the additional agony of trying to decide which front side should be the front on any given night.
