Fresh, well not really...



What is the deal with the constant roaming of small children? They never really stop. Of course, the toddler cruises, but also the almost 5 year old is a roamer as well. It is all about finding the action in the house. And when there is none they have to make the action and it always involves more roaming.
So, back to feeling fresh. Well, the above comment relays the level of unfresh we, the parents, are feeling. Really, the kids are good and the constant activity is manageable. It is the child rearing action, combined with the living in a foreign country, combined with the real life questions that come with job search that make us not so fresh.
The job search is feeling very positive in and of itself. Rob is refusing the job in Norway. He has consolidated his interests to only industry positions with biotech and pharmaceutical companies. This means we will be somewhere in the U.S. or less likely, but there are a few companies, in Switzerland. He is now clear that he wants to focus himself in drug design and delivery. So, it has been a long, hard road to get here. But it feels good to know this much.
Now, with the living in a foreign country lack of freshness. That is a love hate thing. We really love being here and are already feeling nostalgic that we will be leaving in about 4 months. Yet, I have to say I will not miss being an outsider, having the easiest thing be a huge obstacle and feeling like everyday and every event is like an adventure.
I hope all of you are well.

I love this picture of S. leaning...very cute and relatable. Is it ok to say that I almost cried when I heard that you might e coming home soon?? We have been talking lately about how summer is my favorite month (it totally is in the depths of winter) and that you guys coming back would make it all the better.
