Yes, welcome back to Holland... and as you can see we're back again....
We changed our camping-clothes into our traditional Dutch costumes again, don't the boys look happy?
Actually we took a daily trip around the corner today.... we went to Volendam, the most touristy place in Holland and for the first time we tried to talk the boys into taking a traditional photograph! And with some bribery (icecream and kibbeling, their favorite fish, not at the same time with the icecream of course) they put on the clothes and the wooden shoes and posed for this photo!!

We are trying to get this printed on canvas to put it up in our living room!

Our trip to France was fantastic, we wished we were still there but unfortunately we had to go back to boiling hot Holland.... So we try to make a little vacation here, a trip to the swimming pool, the next day to the lake... one day the boys played with the hose at daycare. They are not complaining about the hot weather. Today we visited their grandparents and after that the short trip to Volendam to watch the boats and eat icecream... and take the photo of course... Can you imagine that people ask us if they are twins? They are 19 months apart!

My birthday boy... almost a week ago my boy turned 4! Can't believe he will be going to school after the summer. It was the last time for him to share treats with his Kindergarten friends so daddy made him a special soccerfield with candies on sticks (the soccer players). It turned out so well!

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles...

5 more days and we're going to Bubbles Country... the Champagne Region in la douce France!
Can't wait ... even so impatient that we are going 2 days earlier than expected!

Can you believe this??? Me being digital discovery of the month? Well, it is true and it makes me so proud! I am in the July edition of Scrapstreet Digital Magazine, with four (!!) layouts!

Hope that people actually like what they see!
