And baby makes three…

Wow! What can I say - I have been busy. Being a Mommy (and Daddy) keeps one very busy!
Anyway, as we embark upon our third year here in Holland (can you believe it???) I just wanted to send a hello to all our loved ones.
Things are going well - Peter is, as always, busy with work and just signed on for one more year with 180 Amsterdam. I spend my days hanging with our little man, and all our lovely Mama and baby friends. And of course we still manage plenty of fun nights out with our Amsterdam buddies!
On another exciting note we are moving - we are (GULP) on our way to becoming home owners here in the Netherlands (GULP) and are very excited to move into our new home next week. It is a great flat, in a very kid friendly area - and on the ground floor. I have been lugging little Sammy and all the none sense he comes with up and down three flights of stairs since his arrival. I am pretty done with that scenario and CAN’T WAIT to just stroll, Sammy in buggy, right on into the house. Ah, the joy…
Our address as of next Monday is:
Alberdingk Thijmstraat 30 huis
1051 AK, Amsterdam, NL
Um… Think that is all the excitement to report for now. Just wanted to give you all a quick update - and now… off to pack more boxes!
Lots of love to all of you…
Please write and tell us what your up to, how you are… Anything really!
xoxo,
M, P and sd

And this is Samuel Dylan Bassett!

Our little man - what can I say? He is amazing! He will be 6 months old on the 19th of September - what?!?!? - and is learning to crawl, eat solid food and is chatting away. It is unlike anything we have ever known, the love we feel for this little guy. He is such a happy, alert, adorable and special baby (And yes, I know all parents feel this way - but REALLY!). We feel SO blessed to be the ones to show him the ways of the world. I am in the process of setting up a blog for him - will send a link once it is ready…

We were lucky enough to stay with Peter, Mark, and Irene’s family in Greece for two weeks in August. It was soooo lovely. Lovely to get out of the city, to be with family, make new friends, relax, enjoy some amazing food and just chill….
I swear I will organize the rest of the photos soon and get a link to you!
