Schiermonnikoog Island–April 1, 2013

 

Just north of the Netherlands there is this really cute island called Schiermonnikoog.  After a few days of rest, we decided to drive up there and take a ferry across to discover what it had to offer.  We were not disappointed…

Noah’s Ark & Amsterdam–March 29, 2013

 

Day 2 of our trip we woke up in Belgium and drove to the Netherlands.  In one day, we saw Noah’s Ark, went to Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam and then drove to our temporary home in…(I don’t remember where, but it was two hours north of Amsterdam).

Apparently my memory is horrible after almost a year.  I really need to stay on top of documenting family moments as they happen.  Too bad life just doesn’t seem to want to slow down.

Dreilandenpunt (Point of 3 Countries) - March 28, 2013

 

I cannot believe I am finally posting last year’s spring break only a few months before this year’s spring break!  I have no idea if I’m even going to remember what these pictures are all about, but lets give it a go anyway…

 

My parents (Grammy & Grampy) came out to visit us last year during Ethan’s spring break.  We decided to take advantage of the time and spend a week in the Netherlands.  On our way there, we stopped at Drielandenpunt which is where three different countries meet at one point:  Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium.  We had a lot of fun braving the cold, winter weather while placing our bodies in all three countries at once and going up the big tower to look around.

Pinewood Derby–March 23, 2013

Oldies, but Cuties

These pictures are from a few days after Christmas, but I thought these two were pretty cute, so I wanted to share.  I can’t believe how much they have both grown in the last 9 months.  I remember this morning because they were both begging me to take their picture and so they cuddled up and posed for me…a very rare thing for them.

Our little girl is growing up

Tybee had a lot of firsts today...

She slept through the night for the first time in her toddler bed,

She said her first prayer with some help,

And she went in her potty today without me even trying...it was her idea!

I can't believe she's going to be two in a week and a half. My baby is no more.
