To all the little ones outthere

Please do not eat & try to take a big breath of air through your mouth at the same time! It scares the living daylights out of your mom & dad (and brothers & sisters)!

Our little man did just that sunday afternoon & we went to the emergency room at the nearest hospital just to be taken to the childrens' hospital by ambulance. He went in to the operating-room in the evening to get his lungs cleared. He had to stay in hospital so the doctors could keep an eye on how his respiratory system got back on track with the use of some heavy meds... I got a bed next to his & we had our little camp out together.

This afternoon we got back home & there was finally some time for me to cry...
This was some serious scary shit...

Tuesday

A bit of my tuesday:
I had some time for the flowers on the balcony.

I even had some time for tea on the balcony.

My view from the balcony in the diningroom:

Ah! The mailman! Always a happy moment! I got a beautiful card from NewYork.

And... a package sealed with some sweet tape!

Thank you again Daan it's a great stamp!

Just a bit more close-up so you can see the great detail!

Het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag

Yesterday I had a whole day to myself and so I visited Het Gemeentemuseum in The Hague! Mostly for the Voici Paris! exhibition but I also enjoyed all the other ones!
Here is my small impression:


Meanwhile our thoughts go out to all those who suffer because of the planecrash in Libya...

Happy mothersday!

Happy mothersday to all you mothers outthere!
Being a mother is a very ambiguous thing, on the onehand it makes me feel really vulnerable and on the other hand it makes me feel strong as a lion. It makes me feel loved and it makes me feel guilty whenever I make some time for just me. It makes me feel proud and scared. It makes me laugh out loud and it makes me cry. Being a mother is an emotional rollercoasterride!
But being a mother has made me a more complete person and I am greatful for that!
I hope you all have a great mothersday!`
