We made it to Amsterdam!

We made it! All kids and car seats and luggage accounted for! We flew Denver to Reykjavik, Iceland which was about 7 hours. We left Denver around 6pm so the kids all watched a movie and then slept for a couple of hours. We got to Iceland around 2am our time and everyone was hanging in there. We grabbed a little snack and then boarded the 3 hour flight to Amsterdam. Arrived there, got our bags and jumped in our car. 15 minutes later we were at the house. All things considered, the travel was pretty smooth. Emmett insisted on walking and pulling his own suitcase everywhere. He said "hi" to everyone and got lots of looks and laughs.

I think we've been here about 48 hours now. Yesterday we explored the island a bit, went to the beach, rode the tram, played at a neighborhood park and ate a late lunch at a restaurant on the harbor. We have some pretty serious jet lag - the kids slept until 11 this morning. Noah headed to an office sharing space for the day so I guess it's officially Day 1 of being a stay at home mom for me. Not sure what we're doing today but there are a bunch of parks around our house so probably just play a bit and lay low. 
Doing sticker books at the airport - thank you Jen!!

Tired daddy, but we found food and a beer!

We met a family with three kids at the park. This is Kaysha - she and Sophia bonded over potty talk.

Bubba got bananas in Holland! Noah's been grocery shopping twice already. It's hard with everything in Dutch!

What we've been up to

It's been cold and snowy! We got almost a foot of snow on Monday afternoon and the kids had a snow day on Tuesday. They got hours of TV in the morning and then Noah came home and we all went sledding. The hill by our house was absolutely packed with kids. We had so much fun. Emmett cried and cried, saying "brrrr" until I threw him on a sled with me and flew down the hill. He cried the first time, and then loved it after that. Sophia and Finn were both so brave. Noah build them a jump and they both flew over it on the sleds over and over again. Finn loves to shovel the sidewalk. Noah snowboarded a couple days over the weekend so Finn was the man of the house - shoveling so Sophia doesn't have to even walk on the snow. Ha! Sledding! I went to a fun wine tasting party with other Teller moms on Saturday night. This was the welcome to the party.  Story time! Oh Emmett.

Sophia turns 5!

Our little bunny turned FIVE last week! I can't even believe it, a whole hand. She took lollies to school for her classmates, and then we had a party at La Jolla Rec Center on Sunday. Complete with a bounce house, pizza and a cake big enough to feed at least 100 people. Seriously, the cake was ridiculous. Apparently I ordered a full sheet instead of a quarter or a half. Oooopsies. I think five is gonna be a great year for Soph. She has made lots of new friends and is so happy to go to school everyday. I'm so happy she's in TK, she is loving it. She got a new bike from us, and lots of cool art stuff from friends, and her first Barbie! She also got another Wonder Woman costume from Nay Nay, thank goodness. Cruisin' on her new ride. Now we just have to get rid of those training wheels.  The actual night of her birthday she requested pasta so we went to Filipi's in PB. Hadn't been there in at least a decade and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff sang her ...

Our trip to Croatia

Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive.  One of the many beaches in Split...     Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up. Afternoon at the beach. Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot. Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coinciden...
