Amsterdam ~ Oct. 22 - Nov. 7, 2010

We decided on thursday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. that we were going to come to Montana. So we left by car at 3 a.m. friday morning. We arrived at 7 p.m. in Bozeman, in time to visit Grandma Sinnema at the hospital. Every time we're here, I try to get a nice family picture.

Grandma Doris had so many things for Matthew and Kaitlyn to do. Here they are looking at one project, stepping stones.

Grandpa Frank has just refinished the 'man room.' Looks good!

Hiking up to Hyalite Falls.

We didn't come prepared clothing wise. So once there, we found some sun spots to stand in and returned quickly to the hike back down.

Lot's of sunshine at the reservoir. Very beautiful and peaceful.

Over to visit our other family Holly, Mari & Sho Yamada and Phil & DarLynne Olson near Manhattan.

Either Sho or Matthew took this picture!

Practicing those pool skills.

Over to visit my very good friend Jaimie and Annika Swandal in Bozeman.

Merry Christmas!



So good being with you Lance and Jen! It is always so good to be able to see you and visit. We saw so many family and friends during this bittersweet time. We love you all and appreciate you so much!

Grandma Doris threw Kaitlyn an early Birthday party. She will be 2 years old Dec. 6th.

Playing patty-cake-patty-cake.

Grandma repeated it many, many, many times! So wonderful.

A dust mask came with the stepping stone kit. So cute.

On sunday we decided to pack up while Dad and Mom went to church. We said good bye when they returned and off we drove to Billings. Adam catching a flight to Omaha and a week of work. The kids and I got a fairly early start up to Malta to visit family there.
