The year 05 came to an end and half of my stay was already over!!

But i didnt imagine that this year would be becoming even more exciting!
A few days before christmas my hostdad went to Mexico on a business-trip...i thought, but them a bit later my hostmom came to me and told me that they may gonne move to Mexico in 06....ooookeeeeee :O! Some friends of them came over in the next days to tell them about live in mexico since they were mexicans and moving back there!

None of their family members knew anything jet and i didnt really know what to say about it...one day while having lunch my hostmom said: oh god how should we do the hole move with our 1 year old triplets and that long flight..!!!!???
So i very spontaniously said: well if you want me to come with you, just let me know!
And she nearly fell from the chair cause she was so happy...lol...that would be the perfect solution, she meant!!

A day before i went home for chistmas holiday we had a lil christmas celebration and we cooked fondue chinoise...the first time for my hostdad to eat this and he wasnt quite sure weather he sould like it:P:P:P

after opening some presents they told me that they're really goging to move but they didnt know exactly when jet, and that they cold my parents and if it would be really okey for me they'd me so happy if i would come with them!:D

Who would say no?????

It was becoming warmer and warmer...spring showed its lovely sites but also its bad once!

One day it was loooovely 16c and we spent the whole afternoon in the garden enjoying some sunshine using the new bought sunglasses and hats for the girls:P! We all felt very happy that day and coudnt wait for summer!

The following day when i got up i looked out of the window and had such a shock.....SNOW!!!! It was snowing all day!! We couldnt belive it!! But jeah...thats normal here in spring and it can easily snow again in may!!

Once on an other lovely day i went to a lil parc with the girls not far away from our house..we were living in the rich quarter of Lausanne and i loved walking trough all those villas and huge houses...impressiv!!!

So i sat down in this lil park and took some pics of the girls..it was too much fun and they loved wearing my big sunglasses:P
There is a pic of little Isabelle where she just rocks....I LOVE IT!!!!

Those little sweethearts became a part of my live and i would do anything for them! Knowing them since a few day after they were born makes it very special to me and also to the family!

The time of looking for an apprenticeshipplace was not over jet and after having an other think i decided to have a look on other jobs as well...i wasnt to keen on woring in a drugstore anymore!

Since it was nearly impossble to find a job in this business anyway i had to apply for something else just in case!

My dad is working on an airport and i always liked the tourism business but never imagined to be woriking in it!
Thats how it came that i applied at some travel agancys even if i had no idea about the job!

when the drugstore thing didnt work out i was happy to have a second line! but it was not that easy at all and the chances to get a place became smaler and smaler!

when there was only one more answer open i started thinking of what i should do if i cant find a job for after my year..i just didnt know!
It was depressing and tiring, i was fed up waiting and always getting negativ answers!

thw last open answer was from an agancy in Thun were i was one of the last 3 for the job and i went there for a day to see how they worked and stuff..i really liked it there!

Monday after i went there i was in Lausanne again waiting for them to call me....i was cleaning the upper floor when i luckily heard my mobile ringing...it was the boss of the agancy and what she told me made me feel like i couldnt find words anymore: I GOT THE JOB!!!

I run downstairs to tell it my hostmom who had her fingers crossed all the time for me! she jumped up and huged me...happy that my future was save!

My hostdad brought a bottle of champagne and we had a little celebration!
It was such a relive and now i could finally start to enjoy my year!!!!

To make our lifes abit easier we had this and that for helping us:

The best thing was def the "Extra Hand" that was a bottle holder you could fit onto a chair or anywhere else!
With three babies you just never have enough hands...in the mornig when i wasnt working jet my hostmom always had a problem with feeding everyone in the same time! so she saw this extra hand thingy in the internet and bought it..and this is SOOO practical!!!!

The minidisco kept them busy for a while as well and since they couldnt move jet we were able to leave them for a second to do some housework...ironing was no topic but three babies give a looot of washing which needed to be done daily!;)

Also the walkers they had made them happy and they loved cruuuuuusing around the house:D:D! they loved watching out the window by the door and then start crying cause they found the neighbours cat was so scary:P

However...the radio was on all day and they also enjoyed dancing and hopping around to their children songs!...cant hear them anymore!:P...also they liked listening to Juanes!:P

Our pram was really stupid and the hell to go anywere with it! a huge thing with three cots you had to build up everytime you wanted to use it!

So we usualy just packed the girls into the car, put the pram into the back, packed some pick nick for us and went down to the lake..the area at the lake was called Pully Port and very nice. There was a park were we could sit down and enjoy a bit of the warm summer days!

The girls seemed to like it as well and so we went down nearly every afternoon!

Of course there were ppl stopping and watching every minute: oohh lalaa des tripples!!...jaja*smile*
That was fine with us as long ppl didnt wanne take pics or carry them around(and honestly that happend!!)...we were usualy asked weather they were girls or boys...or even stranger: 2 boys and a girl? 2 girs and a boy?...didnt quite get why a boy should be dressed in pink???? when all of them were wearing the same!

O well i usualy got along by saying: sorry i dont speak french!...and there is one thing you just never ever should do while passing ppl walking aboud with the pushchair: DONT STOP, KEEP ON WALKING!!!! otherwise you are stuck for ages!!

The funny thing was that the ppl in the shops down in town knew the girls, knew their names and everything!
Once i was sitting on the bench outside the shop with the lil once, waiting for my hostmom and i was sitting next to an older lady when someone asked this lady: ooh are this your grandchildren???.....okeyyy....
Or often i was asked: Are you the mother?...or Oh you have lovely children!
uää noooo their not mine really!! i was only just 15!!!!

Winter was coming and the enjoyable days sitting outside were over...the girls needed to be fit for cold winter;)!

Thenew pushchair was here and we were able to take long walkes everyday...that wasnt that easy since we lived very high up and you needed to push 50kg up the hill on the way back....but that was out daily training to keep us fit:P...the pushchair was made from a brand called "runabout" and was imported from the US:P...it was the only one we could find that fitted into the car and the bigger shops, which wasnt too heavy and "easy to drive";)! The girls seemed to like it as well!:P

So we had to get them snowsuits, hads and gloves! Since we owend the hole H&M collection we went to that shop for this stuff as well!:P...most of it were presents and we had it all three times!

As much as the girls loved their walk, they hated the snowsuits and hated to be packed into them...even if it looked absolutly toooooooo cute!:P:P

With the time we also had time to talk about my work houers, school and free time!

I signed a 40h week contract and this was perfectly well for me...sure i worked a looot more the frist few weeksand seldon got my lunch break! i got CHF 600 a month as a salary and had one afternoon a week off, plus i went to school one evening down in Lausanne(i only did this for 6 month cause it was such a waste of time and money..but ore to this later!).

Since there was an "Au Pair  meeting" before, i already knew some other au pairs living near Lausanne. One of them was Nadine and she was also the one i hanged out the most.
That was kinda funny storie how i got to really know her after the meet up in Bern...we exchanged phone numbers and promised to write when we started our year...by the way she was living near Zurich and i was living in Interlaken!
About a mont later there was the Greenfield festival in interlaken and of course i didnt wanne miss this event!
Most of my freinds were there as well and i was wandering around with a school firend of mine when we joyend a group of onther friends...i looked at this girl standing beside my mates and knew that i've seen her before...she thought the same an took her mob to call me;D;D...jep it was her..Nadine..lol, she once lived near Interlaken and still had friends here! So we started talking and ended up losing the rest of our mates in the 250000ppl wanting to listen to Green Day:P!

So she was living in Prilly which was just at the other end of Lausanne then Pully:P!

Since you always have to vistit the family for some days before really make a desicion i went to stay with family Roberts for 3 days in june...

The lovely little girls...Isabelle, Charlotte and Valerie were born on 1. March, just a few days after my first meet up with the parents!
2 weeks after they were born i went to see them in hospital...so i know this lil girls since the very beginning of theit wonderful lifes and this makes it very special!...they were 3 month early and tiniiiwiiiniiii....only 1 kg each!!!!

I then went back in june when all of them were at home and i could get an impression of my new job!

The girls were mostly asleep and if not you've had to feed them...that usualy took ages till they emptyed their lil bottle!

Little Charlotte unfort wasnt that well and had to go back to hospital that day! So i looked after the other 2 toghether with my hostdads sister Jo who came over from france for a few days...she's an english teacher and i was a lil scared speaking since my english was rubbish then!!!:D:D

However i loved this multiculture family and their friends..and i def loved this lil girls!!!:D

Following the Madames given directions we found the house standing in the rich quarter of Pully la Rosez!

It was an amazing area and i couldnt wait to meet this family!
When we arrived the hostmom..called Corinne...was already standing at the door waiting for us with a big smile..she looked lovely with a huuuuge tummy:D!

The house is sooo beautiful! Just built 1,5 years ago, open and modern wit huge windows!

Le Monsieur:D..called Ian...was very nice as well and the welcome was warm and happy!
I felt home there the minute i stepped into the house and knew that this is going to be the family i wanne stay!

We sat dowen and had coffe and cake (lol the usualy english tradition!) and talekd about what i'd have to do as well: we dont knwo how it's going to be when the babies will be born and really cant tell you jet what you will have to do!!!..sounds great:P!
School is no problem they said and we can set it all when you are here!

I just simply Loved this family, this place, my room, the view and everything...there was no time needed to think about it!

And girls out there belive me, there is nothing more improtant then having this feeling...you have to stay with them for a loong time and you should just feel conftable!!!

So i called Mrs Erb the next day to tell her my pick...:D
