How does January always feel like a year and then February is over in the blink of an eye?
Pete went with his dad friends to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, the first weekend in February. Meanwhile, I hosted the moms and ALL the kids for dinner (tamales from a local company). The guys should have been very jealous of our controlled chaos :)
Some shots from Tallinn. They had cold, but snowy weather.
Hilary's birthday celebrations kicked off with a big group lunch out at Miri Mary.
 |
| We gifted her, amongst other things, a sweatshirt with all of our faces on it! |
A big night out celebrating, first surprising her at the All Out for shuffleboard and darts.
Followed by dancing at Chin Chin until the club was packed with young people and it was time to go home!
 |
| The theme was sparkles |
Another Global Village Day in the books. Maeve participated in the USA dance and was really excited. It took weeks to get all of that red hair dye out of her hair!
Always the most delicious feast of international food!
The USA group did an American University medley. We got to pick the colleges we represented, so of course we had a Bowdoin shirt made for Maeve.
 |
| A joyful parade, celebrating the 66 nations at the school. |
 |
| Maeve learned about Hungary, Germany, and the Arabic-speaking nations in the afternoon "villages." I was signed up to help out in the USA village visiting 5th grade, but Jude was home sick so I returned home to keep him company. |
 |
| I joined the Amsterdam Mamas book club dinner and book exchange at the Sea Palace. Lovely seeing some "old" faces (known some of these women all 10+ years we've been here) and meeting some new moms. |
Josh's birthday party at The Upside Museum followed by a sleepover (and one sleepy Jude for the rest of the weekend!).
