London

One of the reasons we moved to Amsterdam was to live closer to P's family, and we recently spent a great long weekend with them in London. M enjoyed the birthday celebration they organized for him, complete with a Toy Story cake!

M loved his presents and Uncle Stephen also had fun playing with them.  Mairtin loved having his Grandma read him the new books Uncle Brian gave him.

One of the best things about staying in London is the great playground across the street from Uncle David's house.

The playground has a lot of new equipment since the last time we were there.
Mommy even got a few minutes in on the elliptical.

Daddy and Uncle David had fun at the playground, too, while a perplexed M looked on.

I'm not exactly sure how M got the idea to make a peace sign in every photo.

M also loved his trips on a double decker bus, going to and from Ealing Broadway.  On Sunday we spent the day in the country with some friends of Uncle David's who have a son about M's age.  M had a great time, "thanks to Uncle David," as he said.
