SBL IV and Queen's Day

The latest in the never ending saga that will be Sophie's life on video. Not a lot going on here in Amsterdam. Recently back from Puerto Rico where I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ben and his buddies for a few days.

Queen's Day was yesterday but due to weather it was a bit less eventful than year's past. Our friends Kristin and Nicole are over visiting from Portland and we were able to show them a good time despite the cold.

Hope everyone is well. Enjoy the video and CLICK HERE to see some recent photos.

Buda-Pest, Hungary and the soon to be Millers

I was asked shortly before we went to Budapest if I was staying on the Buda side or the Pest side. I thought it was a joke but when we got there it is in fact Buda on the west side of the Danube and Pest on the east side. Coincidentally, we stayed in a hotel on the Buda side for the first two nights and a hotel on the Pest side on the third.

Although it rained like a son of a gun, we had a great time and Budapest is a beautiful city. A highlight of the trip was a five hour Easter brunch at the Four Seasons with a couple of our friends from Amsterdam that happened to in town.

This last weekend David and Lyndsay came to Amsterdam for a visit. It was great to see them and it was the first time David and I had seen each other since Egypt back in 06. Since then they have gotten engaged and we've had a baby. Next visit we'll be discussing pacemakers and broken hips.

Some shots from both weekends are below and you can CLICK HERE to see some more...

Taking advantage of a short bit of sun, Sophie moved quickly and immediately went to sleep.

So far so good. Writing this over Germany after a smooth no crying takeoff and a decent length nap.

Sophia Blake Long Part III

Firstly, the latest video featuring the little princess...



We've been a bit remiss in our updating of the blog but the quick version is as follows...

Sophie is about the cutest thing that's ever happened. Jan visited with her friend Greg in mid-Febrary. We had a great visit and Soph got lots of cuddles from her Mimi. Kindra's mini-army of new moms continues to grow which results in some pretty dang cute multi-baby photo ops. Other than that, we both work too much and the weather just won't kick over to spring.
