November Snow

A Great Surprise!
We were thrilled to wake up one mid November morning to find several inches of snow! We have had snowy weather off-and-on since then. The snow was a welcome diversion to the school and dorm routine and made us all start thinking about Christmas.


Here's one of my (Bob's) friends, a "Cincia Allegra", the name of a species of chickadee in Italian. Sorry, I don't know what it is called in German. It is most likely not as romantic sounding as the Italian version!



Luke, you wouldn't!



Kaelah well armed!

The Saturday after our first snow we took the kids from our dorm up to the village of Marzell to go sledding. Marzell is the location of two of BFA's other dormatorys, "Sonne" and "Blauen". Marzell is about a 1000 feet in elevation higher than our town and gets quite a bit more snow than where are dorm is located. Behind the Sonne dorm is a small ski slope which is great for sledding. Here are some pictures of our kids.
