We're Here!

By
We arrived safely at our destination! Nicholas enjoyed his first time on the airplane and was able to talk about everything around him and what he was seeing the entire time. The most troublesome part of our travel here was getting a cab to fit all of us and our luggage and getting from the cab into the building with all of our luggage.

Mostly for Sabrina's benefit, here are some pictures of our new (small) home.

This is the long hallway around the corner from the elevator that leads to our door. I'm trying to teach Nicholas to walk and whisper in the hallway. Tonight he was skipping instead of running (he was kind enough to shout back to tell me he wasn't running) so I guess we are making progress.
We live on the 14th floor of our apartment building and Lindsay has decided she likes to take the stairs down. She prefers the elevator on the way up.
The living room area.
The "Gourmet Kitchen" and dining space.

The kid's room. We're hoping to squeeze another bed in there.
The master bedroom.
That's about it. Tomorrow we will empty our luggage and try out the swimming pool!

Springtime with Grandma L.

By

We were so happy to have Grandma come and visit this Spring.  Even more exciting was that she was able to stay for Easter!!!  I love having family visit for holidays! Some of the thing we did during her short stay: We went to the International Festival at the kids school where we ate food from many different countries.  It was delicious.  The girls decided to stay at the festival while we took Nicholas to the Embassy Easter Egg hunt in the snow. Although it doesn't look cold, I lost feeling in my extremities.  It was freezing.  Because of the weather a lot fewer people showed up than expected so the amount of eggs to collect rose from the original amount of 12 to however many could fit in the basket. We visited Keukenhoff in Holland to see the beautiful flowers.  While we did see beautiful flowers, most of them were indoors as it has been a very cold spring.   Flower Fashion Outside the crocus' were blooming and the...

Making dreams come true...

...one tree at a time. Poor little trees. You know the ones. Not quite pretty enough for the cherished Christmas tree. Standing all alone in the forest. Or maybe not standing alone, but so close to the perfect tree next to them that only one side is presentable. Wishing, hoping, wanting for someone to come along who recognizes them for what they are on the inside. Who cares that the branches are too scrawny to hold lights up? We try to help the less glamorous trees every year. It makes them feel good. And this year's tree was perfect for the kids to decorate all by themselves. I helped by picking out the lightest ornaments so the tree would not topple over. I know you're all jealous. It makes a great conversation piece and causes laughter for all who come to our house. If you would like a house full of jolly company next year, think of the trees. Make one happy. You can even keep most of the decorations in the box.

Temple Trip

Lindsay went to the temple for the first time and since the temple closest to us is in The Netherlands and we would be gone for a long time we took the little guy with us.  I miss the days when I had family and friends willing to take an extra kid for the day but he was a champ and waited in the waiting room by himself for hours.  It won't be long before he's old enough to go inside with us.  They grow up so fast.
