Sunday with Dad

On Saturday night at 8pm, the boys and I welcomed Mike home from a six-day trip to Switzerland.  To say that the boys were 'popping out of their skin' to greet him (me, too!) is an understatement.  :)  Mike was selected to join an international leadership development program at his company.  The selection process included (first pass) an extensive application and (second pass) an in-depth day-long live interview.  In the end, 24 leaders within BiogenIdec were selected, including seven from the US and the rest from Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK and Australia.  The program will continue for the next three years and will include 2-3 meetings a years.  Mike came home raving about the experience -- the learnings, the people, the locations in Zurich/Zug.  He's so excited about the next three years and we are so very proud of him!

Since I love this building, I immediately suggested that we all head there pronto.  :)  I dragged Mike and the boys (and my tripod) there for a little shoot on Sunday.  Not sure it was how Mike envisioned spending time together before his next trip, but he sweetly obliged and we all had fun (and I got to take some pictures :).

Here are some of my picture from the day.  Yes, I know this is too much Brown-Brown-Brown (snooze fest if you are not a Brown), feel free to not watch the blow-by-blow of our photos - but this is my spot for warehousing all of my favorite photos/videos, so its here.  :)

Those are so awesome!! I was literally laughing out loud at the end watching all the boys climb into the chair. I love the last picture too. And seriously, Noah looks more handsome every time I see a picture of him. All the pictures turned out great!
