Los abuelos han llegado

Today my Mom and Dad flew in from Texas. It's great to see them. Watching them walk out of customs and into Switzerland served as a reminder of how far we are from family and how much I miss being closer to home.

The folks flew in around noon today and the first thing I was told was to take them home so that they could visit Sofia. And so we did. We got home and everyone got acquainted. It was awesome. After that basically worked to keep everyone awake until bedtime, which we succeeded in doing. First we went for a walk to the lake and the views of the Alps were the best I've seen since living here. We just had a lot of rain followed by some cold dry air and the mountains looked amazing. They are already covered in snow and the urge to get a closer look is becoming unbearable.

From the lake we meandered into the park and from there came back and decided to play a game of scrabble, which I lost. After that we enjoyed a delicious dinner that Gina cooked. That's pretty much everything about today.
