Maisers
Fun Day Out
Justin and I had a really fun day out in Amsterdam yesterday! We needed to talk about some things for the future and really just needed some time together, so we just walked across Amsterdam and had a blast together! Here are a couple pictures from our little outing!

Okay, so not really, but sort of. In the states I have certain rules that I follow because they are the rules. Like car seats. Anyone who is my friend in the states knows that I can be a little crazy when it comes to Maisie’s car seat being installed properly. No way would I ever have it any other way. Well, I get to Europe and right away (the first day in Amsterdam) she is riding in the middle seat with a seat belt, no car seat or or booster or anything! And for some reason I tell myself this is okay because the cab driver is allowing me to do it and I don’t know the rules/laws anyways for this sort of thing in Europe. We now have a car seat, but I still don’t have the piece to it that makes the seat belt really tight. :s…

Maisie LOVES to dance! She especially likes to dance to certain music that we listen to. This is one of her favorite songs.

Justin also wrote about our time at the beach on his blog, but I am giving you pictures!! We had a ton of fun! I’ve said it before, but we are having so much fun getting to know the people of CAI a bit better! Almost every night in the Hague has been spent with friends!! So we went to the beach last night because countries were competing against each other in fireworks shows. The first show was pretty pathetic, but the second one was great!! Maisie fell asleep for that one of course, but oh well! Here is our journey of the beach trip! Click on picture to enlarge!! Waiting at the bus stop! A good time for a photo shoot! These are some of Maisie’s favorite people in the Hague! Katie (in the blue sweatshirt) is AMAZING with kids! She is such a good little babysitter! Jeanie (in…
Read MoreBagels and Beans
As some of you may know, we are staying in the apartment where our organization has it’s offices in The Hague. We really like The Hague for several reasons. We have done training here before and had a blast in the city with some of our good friends. It is also a really relaxed and clean city. At least compared to Amsterdam! I am especially enjoying our time here as we have our own little apartment that we are staying in! It is the best living conditions we have lived in since leaving Paris! Lots of big bright windows, privacy, a balcony (!!!), and it is in Europe! You can’t beat that! 🙂 So anyways, the other day Justin, Maisie, and I went out to a fun little coffee shop called Bagels and Beans because they have wireless internet. It is on the middle floor of a huge bookstore. They…

I’m not sure my title even makes sense. But I needed to communicate just how much I freakin’ love technology! SO MUCH! Here is a video of Maisie and her cousins singing and playing together over the good old video cam!
Read MoreSee a resemblance?? AT ALL???
So we all know that Maisie looks EXACTLY like her daddy. Yeah, yeah, I hear it ALL the time. No, I am not sick of it. However, my mom just sent me some pics from when I was around Maisie’s age. What do you think? Any resemblance? Yeah, I am desperate to hear (or read) the words that there is some sort of Maisie in me, but hey, be honest! 🙂 So at least we have the frizzy hair in common if nothin’ else! I love this last picture of me and my big sis (even though she has her eyes shut)!
