Anne and Rob Steenblik

Rob went to Holland, which as it turns out, is a rather small country.

Brock was a pirate for Halloween.  Anne ate all of his candy.  Nice.

We went to the Alps for Rob’s birthday.  This is a glacier at Mont Blanc.  Brock was on the look out for yetis.

Brock quality tested each of the shelves in the apartment we rented in Switzerland. 

Uncle Spencer and Aunt Sarah sent Brock this shirt for Christmas.  Rob already had his.  Rob loves to match.

Brock was crying the other night and I (Rob) went in to check on him.  When I got in, he reached up and handed me something.  It was dark, so it took me a moment to realize that it was his diaper.  It appears he is planning a backup career in case the whole college thing doesn’t work out.

We took a cruise through the Mediterranean in early September.  It left out of Barcelona and finished in Istanbul. 

We had to pack Brock for the trip before we left. 

Brock helped Mom and Dad play Nintendo Wii tennis.

Veni, vidi, vici.

Brock was fascinated by Pompeii.

How Rob wants to go (taken at Pompeii).

Glass bottom boat tour in Dubrovnik.

Anne live at the Acropolis.

The new face of the Greek army.

Rob at Ephesus.  I could have toppled these if they had been just a little closer together.

Brock loved the Turkish carpets.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

Brock really likes taking a toy to bed, like a balloon cow.

One day he’ll get us back for posting this one.

We spent some time at the Longleat estate this weekend.  You can drive through the safari area where we saw lions, rhinos and some pretty ugly camels.  Brock loved the monkeys that climbed all over the cars.  We even saw Stonehenge on the drive there and back!
