Bryn lowered the cot mattress today...after we caught this little bug standing up against her high chair in the kitchen.

Now sit here and co-operate while Mom learns how to use this amazing camera of hers. Not quite the peaceful Sunday morning experience I was hoping for...

Bryn and the girls are all sick this weekend. It's cold and raining. Updating the girls' baby journals is a perfect reminder that life is beautiful even if it's a little glum at times.

Shoes off rule certainly helps to keep the house cleaner. It just takes a little longer now that we're into the boots season.
14 October 2009
Kind of blurry, but still, too sweet not to post. Sophie was a majorly cute distraction at dinner time.

Our local supermarket, Albert Heijn has been dishing out pieces to an old vintage puzzle each time we spend Eur 10 or more. Bryn and the girls have enjoyed putting it together for the last few weeks. We hit a dead end, not being able to find the last 4, as each pack of 4 is sealed. And, quite frustratingly, kept receiving the packs we already had. Bryn got so desperate :), he even called up a few of our friends who weren't interested in building the puzzle, to ask if they could save their packs for us. Valerie saved the day and helped us finish the picture. Hooray. Now what do we do with it?

Madison brought home a mommy/daughter assignment from school. To choose a favourite recipe and submit it, along with photos for a class cookbook. We chose yummy chocolate chip cookies.

Back to school today to help out in Madison's class with a taste test. Sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Sugar, salt, chicory and lemon were the flavours of the day.

My friend, Kristy and I made 'ants on a log' (peanut butter/cheese spread on celery and topped with raisins) with Madison's class today. We've been teaching the children numbers in English and reinforced that through counting raisins. This also tied in well with the 'kinderboekenweek' (childrens' book week) theme: 'Aan tafel: Snoepen en Eten' (At the table: Treats and Food).

Savannah played keeper on Saturday. Bryn spent the morning supporting her and her team, while I got to enjoy a lazy start to the day with the two youngest.
2 October 2009
A quick and easy takeaway meal comes in handy when extra curricular activities run late into the the afternoon/early evening. Bagel Alley's Italian bagel is my favourite, with chicken pesto and avocado coming in a very close second.

The stomach bug stopped by for a visit this week. Madison carried this little bucket around with her all day and for the next couple of days, actually.

Bryn booked the day off work, so we headed to the mall for lunch and enjoyed being together.
27 September 2009
An easy Sunday afternoon dinner lovingly and spontaneously prepared by Bryn. What a happy and welcome surprise for the mom.
26 September 2009
Angie and I messing around while Bryn has fun with the sports setting on the camera.

All of this for just one night?
A cold, but fun camping trip to the Hoge Veluwe area in East Holland. Just as well the car was so well stocked with warm gear.
24 September 2009
It's here, it's here! My baby arrived! Random practice shots and playing with aperture make me one happy lady.
23 September 2009
Madison loves to take pictures and insisted on being the photographer of the day for the blog. Here I am preparing a chicken dish for dinner.
21 September 2009
Monday is chocopasta day. It's a real Dutch 'delicacy'. The girls love it and look forward to their Monday after school treat.

GNO roses.
I've neglected this blog for 3 weeks, not due to a lack of interest on my part, but purely because life has been hectically busy. Anyway, just to let you know, the rose is still alive and well, sitting in a vase next to my kitchen sink--3 weeks later!

I have a love/hate relationship with my kitchen floor. Well, actually, more leaning toward the hate side. It's a white tiled floor and no, I didn't choose it. Not the most intelligent colour for a kitchen, in my opinion. At least it gets cleaned constantly!
