Next stop:  Keukenhof

Presley's post: Keukenhof was an AMAZING place! There were flowers, boat rides, shops, and much more. There were fun things to do like walking on lilly pads, walking on wobbly, wooden bridges and ladders, and walking on stiff, rock bridges. We all had to dress in layers because it was freezing! I got a really pretty tulip necklace (which there is no picture for) and I loved it! The flowers there were gorgeous and there were so many! My personal favorite was the tulips which were not just one color but thousands! We had an awesome time there and really enjoyed it with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a great place to be for my first time out of the country. I am very happy we went!😊
























Beautiful canal ride.  Unfortunately, we were just a week or 2 early so the beautiful tulips outside had not yet blossomed.

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
