The Vogelpark Avifauna park in Alphen aan de Rijn seemed like a perfect last-minute Sunday outing when the weather unexpectedly cleared up. Any expectations we had were exceeded! We were honestly not very prepared for the trip. I had the park on my list of “places to take the kids” and we knew that using …
I’ve been really struggling with how to organize and keep all the memories from our travels. My boys are young and I really want them to have something they can look back on to remember this magical time in our lives. Photo books are one of the most picked books off the shelf by both …
May and June were packed full of travel and luckily we grabbed a few family shots during our travels. We had amazing weather for our Berlin trip. A passing stranger snapped this photo in front of Berlin’s Victory Statue for us. On our May trip to Bergen, Norway Jeff insisted we grab a family photo at …

April is flower season in the Netherlands, so we snapped our family photo at Holland’s famous flower garden Keukenhof. We are also happy to announce that our family will be growing! A precious little boy will be joining us sometime in September.
We’ve just walked in the door from visiting our local greenhouses. One weekend a year greenhouses all over the country open their doors to visitors. This special weekend is called Kom In De Kas Kan Alles. You have a chance to peek inside and see the many wonderful things growing in your backyard. We live …
The Cast Members at Disneyland Paris snapped some great photos on my phone of the family meeting our favorite characters.
