Goodbyes, huggy kissies and prayers every morning before Dad heads to the office.

I have purposefully not replaced the light bulb in the girls' room. The passage light provides enough light for stories and getting ready for bed in the evenings. Tonight, when I went to check on Madison before I retired for the night, I was impressed with her book-by-flashlight-secured-into-the-top-bunkbed improvisation.

How many bodies can we pile into a Renault Clio? 3 adults and 3 children :) We're sad to be selling our Clown Car this week. It's been a great zippy run around car.

Savannah and Madison have made friends with a sweet little girl, Anna. Her grandparents take care of her a couple of afternoons a week, so the girls always get together when she's around.

Savannah's favourite breakfast ingredients all laid out. She and I enjoy oats topped with honey, chopped apple, nuts and cinnamon most mornings.

Another fabulous prawn feast at the DeNucci's for Tom's 33rd birthday. Happy birthday, Tom!

Madison kept herself entertained while I was having my legs waxed. She loves taking pictures and I often find these random shots when I download the pictures onto the computer.

27 August 2009

My French friend, Katia came over for the afternoon. It was great to see her and her cute little boys.

26 August 2009

It's bug season in Holland. Spiders, grasshoppers, wasps and bees.
