The Netherlands: Part 7

By -

We had such an amazing time being in The Netherlands.  What a very beautiful country! We were able to experience so much and we are so grateful for my parents for hosting us and showing us around!  We are so grateful for their wonderful examples of light and goodness as they share the gospel message to those in The Netherlands.  We miss them terribly - but know they are exactly where they are suppose to be.  But we still count down the days until they return home.

(Out of order pictures again - boo!)


Cute Grant and Abby brought pizza and cake to celebrate my birthday when they picked us up from the airport!  So sweet and thoughtful!!


Long flight home with a layover in Minneapolis.


Grandpa and I celebrating our birthday's together.  Yummy cake!  Super fun and special seeing my parents on my 46th birthday!

Crew learning how to unlock the apartment door.
Canal ride through Leeuwarden.  The tour guide spoke in Dutch so we had no clue what he was saying.

Such a cool door!

Another yummy ice cream outing!

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...
