Almost on the go! Posted by Robert and Melinda. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I needed to get this posted before our little gal turns a whopping 7 months. We are taking her all in, but boy, it seems as though we literally blinked and Tessa was 6 months. So what is sweet Tessa doing now that she is 6 full months? Tessa went f...

Friday, June 29, 2012. The picture above was taken in Obersteinberg, Switzerland. Certainly a little piece of Heaven can be found in those mountains! Right Now We Are.

Though you are far away, your presence is always near. Thank you for all of your gifts dad - your legacy lives on in each of us. Posted by Robert and Melinda. Loving you all...

Friday, October 26, 2012. Are filled with all things pumpkin: homemade pumpkin muffins, soup, carving, festivals and much more. Swinging from ropes in old barns! Tasting over 16 different types of apple juice and relishing in the flavors of each one. We are enjoying the St. Jakob Botanical Gardens and all of the beauty the gardens offer this time of year. We are hiking with new friends through beautiful villages. I love that we live in a country that still has "villages.". A little hike in the woods.

Sunday, October 30, 2011. Well, as you can see, our little gal is quickly growing. It is bitter sweet to watch her change day by day, but we are doing our best to hold onto each precious moment. Rode on the much missed "white wheel" high above the city. Hiked through vineyards in Germany. Went for runs and enjoyed the gym. All the while basking in the beauty of the fall! Our new mode of transportation these days! Noah in the white wheel! Views from the wheel. Noah enjoying the fall festival! A hike in Mu...

The Swiss Adventure...: January 2012
http://schoutensblog.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The holidays are now officially over. The laundry is piled sky high, the house needs a desperate overhaul, the tree has been put curbside and we had a lovely, memorable visit with family. Days were spent lingering over coffee, walks through town, biking with Noah, trekking in the Alps, eating our way through France and relishing time with loved ones…indeed our cups were quite full this Christmas. Posted by Robert and Melinda. The Links (Check them out). Mary, John, and Katie.

The Swiss Adventure...: April 2012
http://schoutensblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. The Need For Nature. Here is the vast, savage, howling mother of ours,. Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man. - Henry David Thoreau. I feel quite fortunate that I stumbled across an article by Richard Louv entitled, Get Your Mind Dirty. From the June 2011 edition of Outside Magazine. Right Now We Are.
