Well we have been trying to catch up after this week and I have a feeling we will be trying to catch up for along time. Gentry is busy with the new baby and so I guess my job is to update the blog as requested. For those of you who don't know Gentry gave birth on Tuesday June 7th at 5:26 AM to a beautiful little girl. We are loving every minute of this new little addition and trying to get some sleep as well. She has been great and is so much fun to hold and play with. Neither one of us feel like it is real after 5 1/2 years of just the two of us it will take some getting use to. We are excited and I'm sure once we get a few minutes Gentry will post something from her. In the meantime here a few pictures of Zoe.

Ok, here it is, the baby bump. Everyone keeps asking for a picture so I finally decided to put one up.

Brugge, Belgium

So a couple weeks ago we decided to take a weekend trip to Belgium. We had heard a lot about Brugge a small city a couple hours away from us so we decided to try it out. We were more than surprised what a fun little city Brugge was and I'm sure we will be back again while we are here. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend just the 2 of us and walked around this beautiful little town. I don't think I can do it justice in words so here are some pictures of Brugge.

Good-Bye 2010- Hello 2011!!!

Well we kicked out 2010 and kicked off 2011 in the best way possible...
...at home in Utah with family enjoying the holidays!

We enjoyed a week at home where we spent most of the first day in the US at Detroit's wonderful airport.. For about 5 hours thought we may be sleeping there Christmas Day after we missed our flight thanks to the helpful people in customs.

Luckily and thankfully to a very nice Delta gate agent we made it onto a flight to SLC!

For the next 7 days we gorged ourselves on great food, family and shopping... That hurt the wallet good thing Euros are stronger than the dollar right now I feel like we got a steel! (Oh ya did I mention we forgot our camera... sorry no Christmas pictures.) :(

Now that we are back in Holland it has been different. I think we went home at the perfect time and now that we are back we both feel like this is where we are supposed to be. It has been amazing just a feeling of peace being back in our new home. It was a weird feeling to land in Amsterdam and feel that we are home. I think the next few months are going to fly by as we have trips planned each month. keep checking we will post pictures of our adventures through Europe. Next stop LONDON!

Oh ya and I forgot to mention we are finally going to add to our family. Coming to the Mickelsen household a little girl in June! Although we are very excited it has been so fun to be just us for the last 5 years almost 6 when the baby is born.

Well we want to wish you a Happy New Year and we hope that 2011 brings you great blessing and happiness! Thanks for stopping by come back soon for some pics from London.
