Still Snowing


Usually we get 1 or 2 days of snow ... this year, it's been snowing from mid-December until mid-February. It's a magical city in the snow, and turns out to be a good break from the rain. Amsterdammers are pretty hard core, nothing takes them off their bikes - this lady is biking through the park (the box in front where kids usually sit).



Walk like a Pale Egyptian

To escape the snowiest January in history, we flew to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt (sort of like the Cabo of Mexico). With the exception of one visit to the town to get diapers, we stayed resortside ... eating, relaxing in the sun, and swimming in the Red Sea. Tate loved the sun after an initial squinting of the eyes and faint cries upon seeing it for the first time. Can't blame the girl, she'd been trapped in 20 degree Amsterdam weather.
