This year marks double threes for me, and my first as a Papa! So what is a guy to do when he has a 3 week old at home and lives in a faraway land you might ask.
Well first off the day was beautiful outside - about 50 degrees and Mada was very tried from being up late night with Katherine (she let me sleep since it was my bday after all) so I decided to take her, and give Mada some time to sleep.
We headed out (our first time alone outside the home).
First off we walked a few blocks to the post office, these are still a big deal in Europe and very busy on a Saturday. We picked up a nice present for Kate from Mada's parents.
After Le Poste we were off to the market for a few groceries, another busy place, and a stroller and a bag on my shoulder didn't make it easy but we managed to survive and the goods fit in the basket of the stroller so we traveled well.
It was about lunch time so we decided to treat ourselves and we went to "Holy Cow" a 100% Swiss made hamburger place. The meat, cheese, bread, topping, beer, napkin, everything is Swiss made and it tastes pretty good. We sat outside and for my birthday Katherine gave me 30 minutes of peace and quiet to relax and enjoy my burger and beer. It was wonderful.
Then we headed back to our flat where we snuck in quietly and hung out in the nursery till Mom woke up.
In the afternoon the 3 of us decided to go for a nice walk and admire the beautiful snow covered mountains all around Geneva, while we had relatively warm weather in town. We decided to celebrate for dinner and treat ourselves to Sushi and a bottle of Italian wine for dinner, and again Katherine was nice enough to sleep while we enjoyed it.
A perfect day with my two girls and a great start to a new year as a Dad in Switzerland!
