Home Sweet Home

George yet again did an amazing job finding us a home...after Florida he swore he would never choose a house without me again, but he didn't have much of a choice. He found a 4 bedroom apartment with the most amazing view! The kids favorite part is the elevator goes straight to our front door.

The living room/dinning room. For the first few weeks we would just sit and stare out the windows taking in the view. If you look closely you can see cars and the train moving on the other side of Lake Zurich.

My favorite part is the kitchen. In Switzerland most kitchens are crampt & tiny. But this one is open and quite large by their standards. There is lots of storage space and an American size refrigerator! Not to mention a pantry for all the American food I stocked up on.

We have a patio that surrounds the front of the apartment with entrances from living room, Alex's, Allison's, & the master bedroom. It made moving our furniture in easy. They just loaded it over the railing and into whatever room they needed.

Since we are on the first floor we have a little side yard (or garden as they say here) on both sides of the apartment. Just enough for the kids to play on and George to hate mowing it:)
