January
In January, we survived the cold and dark and took up cold plunging on Mondays. Clay turned 5 this month and we celebrated minion style.
February
February was extra memorable for Alyssa and Luke, who went skiing for his first time in France. Riley took a work trip to London this month and also got to checkoff a bucketlist item and see Alcaraz play tennis.
March
March brought Riley's birthday, sunshine, and some new senior missionaries to the ward. . . Grandma and Grandpa Stevenson joined us in Amsterdam serving as member support missionaries!!

April was lots of fun with Cameron and Hannah visiting and my parents at the end of the month. We had tulips and king's day and took a trip to Spain together with Nana and Papa Moncur.
May
In May, Luke turned 8 and got baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also found out we were pregnant with Baby number 4! We finished the month with a trip to France and watched the French Open, just the two of us!
June
June’s highlight was Whitney and Ephriam coming to visit! We also enjoyed lots of sunshine, kayaking, fun playdates, and Riley playing tennis with Grandpa—plus jumping into canals to cool off.
July
This month we celebrated Alyssa’s birthday and spent the Fourth of July enjoying a picnic and camping with friends. We kept soaking up the long days of the Amsterdam summer and finished up school year end of the month.
August
Lucy turned 3 in August and celebrated with an epic kitty party. Later in the month, we headed to Norway for an incredible trip, soaking in the stunning nature and braving the elements.
September
September brought a baby-moon trip to Tuscany for mom and dad and girls trip to Slovenia for Alyssa with Ashley.
October
October included our final trip as a family of five to Sardinia with the Inkley family. We wrapped up the month celebrating Halloween, Minion style, and Riley finally bought the bike he’d been thinking about for years.
November
Sint Maarten's Day and Grandpa and Mimi's birthday brought some warmth to the cold weather coming.
December
Another wonderful Christmas season full of festive memories and much anticipation for our new baby. It was a cozy and joyful month as we prepared for the newest member of our family.
