First few days in Schönbühl

The Mössner family is so amazing! We have been here since Wednesday night and they have not stopped taking care of us! When we arrived late Wednesday night, they had filled the fridge with food so we would have breakfast on Thursday morning. Then they fed us lunch and dinner and have fed us several times since then. They are so friendly. They have 8 children and we are living in the basement apartment with one of their younger sons, David. The grand kids come to play often so Jacob has had friends and toys to play with. They even sent us a box of duplo blocks to let Jacob have toys down here to play with. How thoughtful is that? We love the Mössner family!

Life in Switzerland seems so simple. The Mössner's don't lock their doors. They walk to the grocery store when they need something. They take trains to get around. Their homes are very simply decorated and only have wood floors. It makes life feel so simple.

We went downtown to Bern on Friday afternoon and look at the view we got! It is beautiful here! We absolutely love it!

  1. Hooray for updates!!! St Louis misses you guys, but after seeing those pictures I would MUCH rather be there than in our ghetto. :)
    And congrats on getting one of each!! I sent you a text but realized you're in Europe so your American phone probably doesn't work. Keep the posts coming!!

  2. How gorgeous! Maybe Broc could convince me to do a postdoc in Switzerland. Although 3-5 years is a lot longer than a semester.
    I was so glad to see all your posts!
