Holland Visit With Emily & Henry

Oliver and I traveled to Holland last weekend and got to see so many friends. Aunt Emily traveled from Minnesota and Aunt Ashley came from Chicago!

Of course, Oma and Opa were there. And.........

HENRY!!!
Aunt Debby also came over for a visit; she made the boys these very cute Very Hungry Caterpillar bibs!


There were new and old toys to discover.


There were new places to hide.


Henry charmed everyone with his gorgeous big blue eyes.


The boys played in the bath.

Oliver practiced using the potty in very creative ways.


And there was also fun outdoor time.

Sledding was a new first and a fast favorite!







Henry preferred the slower pace of the pull sled for now.



The boys cuddled with Oma.


They played together so nicely.

They chilled out with Opa.


They enjoyed musical enrichment on the guitar and drums.



We were so sorry to say goodbye and have the magical weekend come to a close.

Snow Days




We are snowed-in today in Michigan. Ollie and I have a day off from school, and Tony had to work from home. It inspired me to finally post some of our winter photos.




























































We rigged up a "ghetto" pull sled by strapping a laundry basket on top of a wooden sled. Oliver has really enjoyed riding in it when we get some fresh snow. He doesn't seem to mind how silly we look.
