Backyard fun and neighbors

We have lived in our townhouse here in Zurich for one year now! Two things we LOVE about where we live is our backyard and our neighbors. Lots of yard (or "garden" like we tend to call it - something about the UK vocabulary influence here) and lots of children (and great parents too). My neighbor, Anik, took some snapshots of us hanging out in the backyard this afternoon and sent them to me. Here is ChloƩ just up from a nap.
And Abram flying his transformer instead of posing next to his mommy for a picture.And Abram sitting on his brother's head. Hans cried after that one :(
Anik likes to joke that we could have our own neighborly playgroup. . . and I could run it! This fun with passing a ball started with Hans just sitting and playing with a ball, then Abram tossing it back and forth with Hans, and then soon enough all of the children joined in.
And nothing like some American b-ball shots right in the heart of Switzerland.
Is it summer almost?

Thanks, Stacey! Brunette happened in January and it is really sticking this time. Much lower maintainence - which is what a mommy of three needs! I have gone brunette three other times since I got married 10 years ago!!!!!!!!
