HOLIDAY EMERGENCY

I just returned from a very well deserved and needed break with my family. Our last holiday was month and month ago and we were all tired. Of work, of school, of daycare, of everything actually. We went back to our favourite hotel at the foot of the Alps. The hotel is far from hip and happening and I don't think they would recognize an Eames if they tripped over one, but we just love it. We enjoyed walks in the mountains and woods, swam in the outdoor (hot)pools, had breakfast in the sun, ate great food and played both inside as well as outside. We even had a snowball fight, saw a 3 hour old baby horse and the boys went for a tour in a convertible racecar (yes the white one in the picture). But most of all, we enjoyed having time together and having to do ab-so-lute-ly nothing and just went as we saw fit. :)

On the day we left my boy bumped his heads against a hard stone table and we needed to go to the emergency room for his first, but probably not his last stitch. Auch. But kids are so resilient. After 15 minutes he was laughing again and enjoying his icecream. The day we returned we were back at the emergency room as my boy fell chasing his sister and had his tooth through his lip, both inside as well as outisde. No stitches needed this time, but a great scare nonetheless. And again icecream was the remedy. I know my boy loves icecream, but I hope he won't use the ER to often to get it.
