Lots of Change in the Baganz House!

Week 1 Down of School, and many more to go! This commute wore me out completely this week to and fro school, I'm now traveling about 4 hours a day getting our kiddo to school. Lot's of stuff seemed to happen this week:

OUR STAY GOT FINALIZED.....We finally got official word of our stay, seems like that literally took FOREVER, but we'll be here for another 20 months or so, and we are very excited for the opportunity!

TIME SKIPPED A YEAR....and our little Pre-K'er is now a Kindergartner! This week Chance's teachers talked to me about the unique situation in Chance's Pre-K class. Chance was the only one in his class that was a native English speaker, and because of this, his teachers felt it best to do some additional testing on Chance and see if he would fit nicely in to the Kindergarten class instead. Well, he passed his tests with flying colors, and Friday he started his first day in Kindergarten! I never thought I'd be a mom that cried the first day her kid went to Kindergarten, but I have to admit it was a little emotional for me cause I thought I had another year before my little guy was in real school. He started his first day there on Friday and did really well. We are very proud of him!

3 MEALS OUT IN ONE DAY, TOGETHER and ALONE.....Yesterday Ryan took the day off to hang out with me while Chance was in school. What a treat. And we had a sitter lined up for last night, so we were actually able to eat out 3 meals in one day together, and without child! We were laughing last night this was history in the making....probably never again will we be able to eat 3 meals out in Zurich in one day, much less without our kid. It was such a fantastic day to kick around town and enjoy our city from an adult point of view. We basically went from cafe to restaurant to shop, covering the whole city basically. And to add to the excitement of the day, Ryan kept attracting winos......literally every tram we got on, some drunkard managed to sit by us and strike up a conversation. On our tram ride home last night something just didn't feel right....and it was because no crazy person was talking to us!
