A (dubious) tribute to Sister Kathleen, our violin teacher (Jen, Ingrid and myself). I hope she appreciates the fact that we're still playing since it's impossible to appreciate anything else... Warning: turn the sound DOWN. C'mon, it's been 5 years since we've played together and our fingers aren't the nimble ones as when we were 10 year old prodigies scratching out Bach (at least ingrid has the advantage of having perfect pitch!! sorry ingrid, couldn't resist one more dig ;). Now we're just nearly 30/30-somethings scratching out Bach. Anyway it was fun (despite douwe and tom laughing about us going to band camp. Band camp was fun too). The musical equivalent of a not-too photogenic photo:
Ingrid visited and I had such a good time talking Australian, and meeting the backpacker that led her to go AWOL in Belgium. Jen, she's entering our competition (Denmark vs NL vs Belgium) but she's already lost a point since Vlaams-Dutch sounds much nicer than Dutch!

kaemon meets the big chicken, kaemon loses chicken
Apologies to the vegetarians, a chicken was harmed in the making of this film.
Panic ensues when the chicken time is over...methinks he's got a little touch for Drama.

Vrijgezellendag!
Lieve Marjolein Bride-to-be! Girlfriends are great aren't they? We had a great day on the canals of Utrecht doing some girl-bonding.

little lord N
Time flies when you're having fun! N is a lovely baby- hardly cries, eats and sleeps well- all a baby his age ought to do! he appears to smile just before getting the booby... Kaemon is very interested in him...in short intense bursts of 20 seconds at a time, then it's back to tractors and buses. They like holding hands and giving each other kisses, kaemon calls N 'tractor' & gives nelson little gifts of contraband (my credit card, car keys, all the things he's not allowed).

FIRST WORD!!!
Not mama, papa, milk, but..........
if you missed that, that was TRACTOR 3x, and then Ta-ta (the horn). The jury was undecided for a few days, but there is distinct enunciation and we are in agreeance: TRACTOR it is!!!
Oh yes, and a new hair-do! with the second one on the way, the old hairstyle was too high-maintenance!

what we've been doing
NOT MUCH! Been sick, the body is failing... Anyway, great that mum and dad are here, extra hands, all the better to keep Kaemon happy and me sleeping! We went to the beach and had a great day....the highlight was seeing a real tractor, significant, as that is the little man's FIRST WORD!!!
Bedtime
Text book instructions: create rest, a calm environment, and quiet time before going to bed...otherwise kaemon gets hysterical!
