Euro 2014 - Amsterdam Family Interlude - 1

It's the plus/minus, yin/yang, good/bad.  You hate having your family so far away.  You love being able to visit your family in places that are interesting and become familiar in their own right. 

We love visiting the #3 family in Amsterdam.  She's been living their for 8 years now and we have gone almost once a year since.  Now when we get there, it isn't so much going as tourists as just visiting a lovely place where you've gotten to know what its differences and pleasures are.

 Family Scenes:

Wife brought 3.1 a tea set which has been a big hit!

Let the Food Begin
(It is a de-I trip after all)

Trip's first frites...and not the last I guarantee

Pizza?  No, Dutch Pancakes.  Like crepes but open faced.  This was a savory one with egg, bacon and cheese.

Introducing 3.2!

She is Sooooo cute

(I am totally unbiased mind you)

We're celebrating Wife's birthday.  3.1 gave her an official birthday crown!

3.2 is a very mellow baby at just a couple of weeks.

We were out for 4 hours without a fuss from her.

Plenty of Grandparental nuggles

(I predict a complete overload of grandparent/3.2 pictures over the next week)
