Diary: 5/12/2002

Dear friends and family:

Before starting with the Adato Diaries proper, we wanted to congratulate two different blessed events:

First, we wanted to wish Art and Barbara our best wishes on the birth of their son Ryan David Rosenfeld - born Tuesday at 11:45.

Second, the exact same wishes go to Paul and Rory on the birth of Kemmett Malaya Saunders Nazareth - born Thursday at 6:07pm

This week in Switzerland is Leon's last before returning to the US. There were a few more surprises left in store - like our final electrical bill. Just like our welcoming, the final charge was around $600. How this amount was racked up between March and April 24, I will honestly never know - especially since the house was basically turned off for 3 weeks of that time!

This past week was also a short one, the Ascension holiday taking up both Thursday and Friday. So the result was that the week at work was pretty much a ghost town. Unfortunately, Leon wasn't able to take those days off but at this point staying busy is better than sitting around.

The week in America was equally quiet.

Of course, Mother's day on Sunday was difficult on both sides of the ocean. Nancy and the kids made sure that Debbie was well-cared for, and some pretty stiff phone charges were racked up from Leon as well.

Aside from that, we are now just marking time until next Saturday (or, as the girls remind us - 6/7 of a week).

Love
Debbie, Leon, Heather, Isabelle, and Joram
