Hello California! (and Chicago)


Operation Homeland Security? Obviously not in effect on United Airlines which let Lukas enter the cockpit & be the pilot before take-off.

Lukas & I had to leave Zürich 2 weeks earlier than expected to fly to Chicago for a family medical emergency. Miraculously, everything turned out OK in the end and a scary pilgrimage home turned into a very happy family reunion.

The autumn weather in Chicago was absolutely beautiful, and we got to enjoy some boat rides, bonfires and BBQs. Lukas was a little confused that we were stopping in Chicago since we had "played up" California for awhile in an attempt to make the move easier for him. But with Oma & Opa and Tante and family, he could have cared less if our move to California was diverted.


Lukas fishing on Oma & Opa's lake. He was pretty excited to catch his first fish. I was NOT so excited to have to take it off the hook. Isn't that suppose to be Dad's job?.....

After 2 weeks in Chicago, Lukas & I flew out to S.F. to meet Rob and the unpacking began....



I thought it would be difficult to unpack with Lukas around, but moving boxes/forts/houses are the best toy ever!
