We tried to stay awake last night to follow the presidential election on TV. There was really a big intrest in the outcoming and there was full life coverage on german TV. But the first results were expected around 3:00 at night......
Anyways we are so excited that Obama won and are kind of proud about it. Congratulations.

Paula and Lucy had been so sad that there would be no Halloween for them this year. It is traditionally not celebrated in Switzerland. So after being already invited to a Thanksgiving dinner (we were right a way recognized at the english speaking playgroup where Paula and Lucy as attend writing and reading classes as american english) I did not hesitate to ask for some hints where I could go trick or treat. Even though the Mom who invited us for Thanksgiving does not life in Bern she mailed me next day with information about some trick or treating in a smaller town close by. I am really happy to experience some american way of life here. But I must admit on Friday night I was really sad that I could not hang out with you guys!

The girls did not have much time to play outside because we had to hurry to our new apartment. Our container arrived at 9:00 am. I still can't believe this whole international shipping thing went so smooth. We just found our beautiful apartment in time. It has three bedrooms and is brand new refurbished with new bathroom and kitchen. It has high ceilings with stucco on them. There even is a small park with a playground right in front of the house. Our lease official starts on the 15th of November but we were able to put our furniture in on room and I hope I can start within the next days to open boxes.

We had our first snow! It started snowing Wednesday night and you can imagine how exited the girls were when they woke up next morning.
