On May 11, Ties turned 8! Congratulations to all Deerfield friends who celebrate birthdays on that day as well! As we were out of the country last year, we decided to celebrate this well. On the actual birthday Ties got a few presents (more Magic Tree House books), but the real party was the Saturday following the Wednesday's birthday.
Here is Ties ready to open some presents, woke up 2 minutes before.
Saskia playing with one of the new toys. Baseball practice!
Big party, mostly family this Saturday. We did an afternoon and meal, very laid back (especially for the guests). It was another "get your own drink from the fridge or you will be thirsty" party.
They love each other - as always - ahum.
Sunday was another family party, Saskia's nephews and nieces came to our house for lunch. Good to see everybody again, some newborns (and not so new borns as well) joined the club.
And with a subgroup we went to the beaxch afterwards. Lots of wind, so perfect for flying the kites.
And after another week of working it is weekend again and there was more baseball, we seem to get used to that now. The weather was again great, awesome and fantastic. We seem to be making many, many baseball pictures, sorry if you get bored from them........
And another birthday, this time not in our house, but in Haarlem with Saskia's brother. Playing games with grandma.
While Dide was lightning the BBQ.
And although it is still light here, it is 9 pm and the kids watched a movie.
While their parents had another drink in the garden. Good times, having older kids definitely has advantages.
Back home, Dide skyped with her friend Ben, she loved doing that. Dide and Ties still miss Deerfield a lot and are talking about it all the time. They are happy here, too, but seem to compare many things. Sometimes the result is in favor of The Netherlands, sometimes the US wins.
Cheers, see you at our next short update.
