Mom has come to visit for a while and so we took a week-long trip down through France and Italy to show her some of the local sights. Over eight days, we visited seven different cities: Bern, Geneva, Lyon, Grenoble, Turino, Milano, and Lugano.
This was, perhaps, overly ambitious as it meant moving from one […]

After seven weeks, we almost got everything unpacked. It’s been a busy couple weeks for us. Last weekend we finally got a vehicle: a 2002 Opal Zafira minivan. Yes, I’ve become a minivan owner. Does that count against my image of an exotic world traveller?
It’s small as minivans go, which […]
I’m a little late posting this, but on our second weekend in Switzerland we too Christophe to the zoo. I don’t think he got quite enough sleep the night before because he was somewhat cranky but he generally enjoyed seeing all the animals. We saw snakes and penguins and elephants and lions and […]
After three days, we’re finally getting over our jet-lag and the shock of leaving everything behind. Camille seemed to have the easiest time of both those. Christophe asked once to go home and the first night wouldn’t go back to his new bed after awaking around 5am. He ended up sleeping with […]
(I don’t have my computers yet so no way to access the photos I’ve taken. I’ll try to add some at a later time but for now it’s just text.)
Does it count as a new day when you never finished the previous one? A mad rush to finish everything on Wednesday before catching our flight […]
It’s now two days before we move to Zurich. Here is our new address:

I’m flying home on Easter weekend from California to see my family in Ottawa […]
I’m back at Google now and starting the long stretch of work here before I move to Zurich. I’m almost glad to be back. The only real downside is that I’ll be here 8 weeks and only seeing my wife and kids for brief periods during that time.
I must say, though, the weather […]
Camille France White (pronounced “cam-EE”, the French way) was born on February 28th at 5:40pm EST. She weighed in at 3516g (7lb, 12oz) and was 51cm (20″) long.
Mom, Dad, and baby girl are all doing just fine, though big brother Christophe seems a little unsure. Tonight will be his first night with […]
My first four weeks at Google headquarters have come to an end. Now I get to go home for a few weeks and witness the birth of our second child. I’ve had my bags packed for a week now, ready to hop on the next flight home should I get “the call”. […]
