A new business. With bonus material and bloopers and all. And you're right, I changed the title. Bit too presumptious. But if you want to find out more, got to learn Dutch first. Coz I tried in English, i really did, and it's just too much struggle. And hey i am lot smarter and wittier in my own language. So what i'll do; i'll just give it a go and juice it up with some Dutch whenever i am stuck. K?

Sailing


I was so proud. Morten was sailing on his own this morning (with only a big sail) when we arrived at camp and Timo was handling the small sail in a 2 mans boat. We watched them for about an hour (while Morten's boat capsized about 5 times and Timo's once. Timo said they were soo hot they wanted some cooling down). The have tanned faces and underarms and underneath that wetsuit are just as pale as when they went.
But this time a home coming with presents and cakes and friends.
I am about to go wash the 3rd load of laundry and wish you all a sunny sunday tomorrow!

these last days

haven been rather hectic and weird.

Abigail came over to watch the semi finals world cup soccer this Sunday
we lost but what an exciting match.

every since then she has been trying to get a flight home, but from all i know only succeeded today when she took the train to fly out from Brussels.

Saturday we brought the boys to sailing camp and today Morten phones us twice to tell us what a great day he had had and how he had gotten the boat in planee. (like skittering a little stone over the water). He was practically yelling to Robbert about how lauw-cool-vet it had been.
The phone he is using btw is the one we bought for Timo to give us a call when he was too homesick and had to be picked up and obviously that didnt happen.

Then there was Caroline reveling in the attention from Abigail and Ally and even Margaud, a friend of Ally who came over.
Also, the first 2 days of the week she spent with Lois a friend from pony camp last week.

about one more week adn we are off to canada!
cannot really believe it.
so much to do.

the parking licence for the new van came in today (o yeah, we sold the old van that weekend too)
which i am happy about, but i still have to get Toos a visitors pass for when she is housesitting.
i have to get an international drivers license.
5 of those things you put around your neck in a plane.
make an appt with the hairdresser.
The pedicure and go for a facial.
loose about 3 kilo's so my jeans fit just a little easier.
see wether i have arranged the insurance for danielle yet.
look up the programme for the world port days in september and order tickets.

Remember how 3 months ago i was pretty anaemic and my HB was 4,1?
I went to the doctor yesterday and it was 8,7.
Eight point seven!!
I almost have to give blood instead of receiving it now.

tomorrow Morten turns 11.
good lord.
i am going to cuddle him to death saturday.

Morten's b day party

No it is not his bday yet, but in 2 weeks time, school holidays have started and most of friends will probably be elsewhere.
So that's why yesterday we went go-karting!
When we were done Timo declared he defnitely wanted to do this for his party too and we was going to convince Caroline (who isn't even tall enough but that was a mere detail to Timo) she had to too!
Btw, the tall dude? My 14 yr old nephew Job.
