Edit to add: ps little update on T.'s leg: he's got a new cast (purple, they were out of orange) & he may start walking on this cast after a week! On the 20th of may we have to be back in hospital to get the cast removed & everything should be okay by then! Yay! :)

A step back

First of all, thank you for your reactions & well wishes on the easter/breaking a leg post!

Dear T.,
Thankfully you're not in any pain & you have no problem sleeping!
With one leg in a cast you're not as mobile as you would like, but you've got it all figured out pretty fast:

just take a step back & crawl! 

let J. do the work & just enjoy the ride! 

you don't even mind getting back in the stroller!

"rijden mamma, rijden!"

because J. has 2 weeks off from school,

you get to go on some great trips!

Today daddy took you both to 

see some firee engines!

And to top it all off you got some

fun mail today! 

Thanks Siem for the great card & wonderful feathers!

Tomorrow we have to go back to the hospital for some x-rays & a new cast. I hope you can keep up your happy spirit & smile! I will be there every step of the way, don't worry about that!

Love

Kisses,

Mamma

Easterfun & a broken leg

Had a wonderful easterweekend! With a good breakfast & a traditional egghunt! Spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine. 

Today we visited a farm, a big dairycompany organised an 'open farmday' & so we paid the cows a visit! 

Had fun jumping around. 

Sat on a bull. 

Checked out a new set of wheels. 

Cute little lambs.

Afterwards we made our way to Rotterdam & ended up here: Hotel New York. We had a wonderful lunch & the boys had fun on the little playground.

Check out this picture, look close. Do you see the little building on the left with the slope? Looks like somthing you can use as a slide, no? 

I just hopped inside to pay a visit to the ladiesroom & look at the wonderful interior.

When I got back outside my sweetheart looked disturbed with T. on his lap who was actually howling.

Little T. decided to climb up the slope (as his big brother & other kids did) & slid down, daddy did do some recordbreaking running but couldn't prevent T. from a crashlanding!

I called for ice to cool his ankle down, paid the check and off we went to the hospital.

Where we found out:

He fractured his shine- & splint-bone

just above his ankle.

Hope you all had a wonderful & safe easterweekend!

Have a great week!

Another dutch sunday

Yesterday we took a trip up north to a very fun museum! You get a ticket & to enter the museum you get on a boat! The boys had a blast!

Just some pictures of the day:

No words

I planned a blog about books I still have to read.
But then a dear friend texted me that some terrible headline news is leaving a very big void in his live.
This news made me speechless.

& pins!

Voila!

~with a french accent:~ Let me introduce you to:

 Mimmi? Coco? Amelie? Miko?

Ah, she studied ballet for years ofcourse! ~end french accent~

Had a lot of fun making this Mikodesign doll (that I've won over on Kickcan & Conkers), it really is as easy as it seems! If you can sew a straight line & a curve, you can do it!

Still have to finish her bag & her own Tour d'Eiffel.

Have a beautiful week!

Villa Augustus

So we had a great lunch at Villa Augustus! 

Loved the interior! 

Many things to see. 

Found a poem. 

Walked around the garden,

not a lot a greens yet. 

And we didn't come home empty handed.

Not in the picture are 2 books for

our boys & some more cards.

So why did my sweetheart (who, by the way, is the father of my children, just so you know :)) take me out to lunch?

Well, it's actually still a little secret, but hey, you're not gonna tell anyone, are you?

Today we took the first step to our wedding later this year! Yay!
