Obama Inauguration Party

Yesterday, a group of us (American expats living in Amsterdam) got together in the evening to watch the Obama excitement. (Yes, we didn't have to wake up early to see the inauguration, it was at 6pm here!)



Quint (above), Mason and Gabrille (below) look on as Obama becomes their new president.


Moms and their boys.

Vienna Honeymoon - Day 1

Guess where we are going tomorrow?

Our first real European trip outside of Amsterdam (since we moved to the The Netherlands last month, of course). Stay tuned for stories and pictures after the weekend is over.

Laptops not invited = real vacation/honeymoon. : )

Rug?

This is the price list outside of the "Strips: Wax Industry" store near my house. They will wax your "rug" for 22 Euro if you'd like.

Rembrandt's Huis

Everyone is getting nuts about skating on the canals

The Netherlands is having the coldest winter in 12 years.

Holiday Thank You!

Look at all of the lovely holiday cards that are sitting on top of our piano! We wanted to make sure to thank everyone who sent one. It was really wonderful to get personal mail around the holidays since we were here on our own. And, we love having little reminders of you all in our home that we get to look at every day.


Do you see your card up there?
 

Day trip to IKEA

Long lines, a pouch of swedish fish, a headache, and a jar of cloudberry jam later... we now have two new desk chairs!
