Hello!!

It has been a while but I have been blogging on our other blog Us in Orlando 2009.

So I haven't been neglecting you totally, have I? Last Friday the summerbreak of the kids started and they have been at their grandparent's house since last Sunday night (because we both have to work). On Monday it was raining to they went to Ballorig with grandma, something they really wanted to do (I had saved them a Chocomel discount coupon). Last night I came home and Maurits came over to see if he could fix my internet connection (and yes, he did it so thanks to him I am now back online!). After I got my e-mail again I found these pics in the mail:






So I think they're having fun over there!!

Today is my day off work and the weather has cleared up so I might go into town a little bit later. First I tried to find ourselves a last-minute summer trip. We tried not to stretch our budget too far this time since we already booked a ski-holiday and the trip to both the Disney's (WDW ánd DLRP)... It's hard to find something sunny last minute because apparently all the Dutch have decided to escape the bad weather and book vacations abroad. I have found something on the island of Crete, Greece but we'll discuss this tonight! I work this week and next week and then I have 3 whole weeks off as well!! I am really looking forward to that!

I didn't do a lot of layouts but there's one I'd like to share with you since it only had one comment sofar! Image is clickable for credits (and for some love of course :) )



Time for a shower and some breakfast!! Have a great day!

Verjaardag, huwelijk, Florida

Hi all!
It has been a busy week, last Saturday Mauro turned 6 and it was time to party. And partytime it was, treat at school on Thursday, kids' party on Friday (school was closed) and the big party on Saturday. Here's an impression:





We cancelled our Sunday plans (we wanted to go to the Cherry vineyard to listen to a concert (http://www.kersen.nu/) but it was all a bit too much. the boys wanted to rest and play with all the new Playmobil and Lego. I can't blame them!

Monday I was at work and left there around 11.00 to attend the wedding of one of my co-workers. Jaap got married to Simone in the town of Huizen. I took some pictures and even scrapped one!

Yesterday I said goodbye to Petra on MSN. She's now at the airport to catch her flight to JFK and from there they are flying to Tampa, FL. She will be travelling in Florida and Texas but also visiting her WW friends later this month. She was soooo excited and nervous but I just know it will all turn out great! I hope you will blog very soon Peet!

Talking about blogs, I have decided to make travel blogs... 11 years ago I started writing those on paper (when I travelled to Cuba) and now that we have plans to go to Florida I have started another digi blog. It's called Us in Orlando 2009.
I have to pick up the kids from school now...see you all later!
