Here are some updated pictures (this is angie). Brad and Traci are still in temporary housing and don't have Internet access yet so I'll be posting pictures as I can. Some updates so far: (Crystal, add to this if you know more) Brad went back to work last week and has been juggling work and looking for a place to stay. Apparently it's not as easy to find an apartment there like it would be in America. Let's pray their search is successful soon because I know they are really anxious to get into a place and get settled. They are loving every minute of it so far, it sounds like such a great place to live. Traci says the kids are adjusting nicely, Maddie told her today that Bon Jour meant hello. She talked alot about how expensive everything is in Geneva. She said they had to learn to say some french phrase that meant tap water because they charge you about $4.50 for water!!! She also said a hamburger costs probably $20 American dollars, and they went to eat Mexican food, shared fajitas, and their bill was $65! I couldn't believe it! Luckily, France is very close and much cheaper, so they can go over there to eat out when necessary. Traci says they absolutely love it there. She said it's way better than she ever imagined in all areas. Sounds like the only negative is the cost of living and obviously missing everyone back home. I'll update more when I get more info, but hopefully this will keep everyone informed until they get Internet access. Did anyone else stumble upon the other Swiss Family Dunbar (no "s" at the end) website? How crazy is that! Wonder if they live in Switzerland as well?

Angie- thanks for the update. I did come across that other Dunbar site first and was really confused as to 'who are these folks, and how do they know Brad and Traci'...

I'm glad to see everyone looking so good. Let's all pray that an apt comes through soon. Brad and Traci are so good about being upbeat, but I know that is a stressful thing.

You guys have fun and keep the pics coming. We love and miss you so much. Kiss my babies!
