After a dreary week, we woke up this morning to flurries of snow and a beautiful day in Amsterdam. We walked around the city and took a few pics:

Aidan was anxious to get outside.

The stroller has held up pretty well in the snow.

I guess this is the equivalent of having to brush your car off in the morning. Snow doesn’t seem to affect the bike-culture of the city.

Snowy streets. We live in the building on the left. Amsterdam (usually) doesn’t get enough snow for plows or shovels, although the streets are sometimes salted.

Winter canal. Not cold enough to be iced over, but pretty chilly.

St. Nicholas Kerk.

Aidan has been doing much better this week. He seems to be adjusting and he loves to play with his new friends: ‘Sam’ his old buddy from before (although they mostly fight over toys), ‘Massiva’ a little Algerian girl who lives down the hallway and is close to Aidan’s age, and Rivka, an older girl from Venezuela who plays really well with Aidan.

FIS is going really well, but the days are long and very full..hence the lack of posts!
