winter wonderland in Denver

Winter has arrived in full force here in Denver! The snow's been
piling up on our deck, and everywhere else. A winter weather warning
has been out since last night, and it hasn't stopped snowing since
then. Of course, in normal Colorado fashion, the forecast for this
weekend is says sunny and nearly up to 60 F, so you never know what to
expect! But we're enjoying the early winter wonderland for as long as
it lasts.

back from Holland

We got back this week from two weeks in Holland. Immediately following the end of the SBF in September we flew out to visit Anna's family, as it was best chance to fly because the pregnancy will soon keep Anna from flying.

We got to hang out a lot with Anna's parents and siblings, which was really fun. Last year at this time we were able to be there when our youngest nephew, Olivier was born, so this year we were there for his 1st year birthday! We really enjoyed getting to know him, as well as spending more time with his older brother, Louis. Check out pics of our nephews and niece here.

On top of that, we also met with some friends, went to a friend's wedding, ate all the "Dutch" things that Anna was missing, and made our annual pilgrimage to Ikea and H&M! Good times...
