Our First Visitor!

A big part of the reason the transition has been so smooth so far is that our friend, John, works in Amsterdam for another firm and our friends, Aaron and Sara, moved here with the firm just after we did. So, we've had a small piece of home here already. But this last weekend we had our first official visitor. Michelle had some work in Brussels last week, but then she met up with us in Paris and afterwards spent a few days with us at home. We had a great time in Paris, and since Rob is a jobless bum, he was able to show her around Amsterdam a bit. It was great to have a visitor and Michelle has set the bar for the rest of you very, very high: she cooked us dinner last night! Here are a couple of pictures of the girls mugging for the camera and our first attempt at a little video. The video's not very long (or interesting) but you can see the amazing weather we had.
