Amsterdam (July 2015)

We went to Amsterdam for several days and toured around the city, walking and boating on the canals. It was during the European, summer heat wave and we managed to survive. One day, we were so sick of the heat, we spent the day in the Rijksmuseum.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Basel with Abuelos (July 2015)

Damian's parents came to visit us for about a month over the summer. We did a lot of traveling around Europe (as can be seen in other posts). Here are a few pictures from their time in Basel.

Madeline's Birthday (June 2015)

We celebrated Madeline's 1st birthday in the park (Kannenfeld) that I call our "second living room." We were very lucky with a beautiful day and lots of great company. Damian's mom made all of the banners and animals, turning the park into something magical. Many of Madeline's friends came to play with her and she ran around for hours, giggling and squealing. It was a memorable day. 

This was pretty much Madeline all day...

She didn't like the cake :(

But, she did like the presents!

Paris (June 2015)

With Damian's parents, we jumped on a train to Paris (only 3 hours) and spent a few days in and around the city.

Madeline is famous here - except they keep spelling it wrong! ;)
