Max (as well as the rest of us!) has been missing our family in Holland lately. He often asks if we can go to Holland to see his friends (cousins), but unfortunately our budget and schedule don't allow us to take weekend trips to The Netherlands!
But thanks to the great inventors of Skype, we can "visit" with Oma and Opa a few times a month. It's always going to be hard for one side of our family wherever we live, but I'm so thankful that Rob's parent's can see and talk to the kids through video chat. It seems to make the distance between us a little shorter!
This past Sunday when we Skyped (is that a verb?!) Oma and Opa, Max got an extra special surprise! Tante (Aunt) Esther and cousins Thijs, Casper, & Joost were there waiting to say hi Max and Lucas! The conversation was interesting to say the least! All of the kids were so excited and English & Dutch words became a soupy mess! But from what we did understand out of their conversation was that Thijs & Casper are playing voetball (soccer) and Joost is potty trained! Two very important details in kid's lives! haha! Maybe someday Tante Esther will even send pictures of the boys playing soccer, I'm sure Max would love that! (hint hint!)

There's Joost in the background!
Max wanted to show the boys the computer game that Sinterklaas gave him!
It was so nice to see the boys 'interact' again. I know they've missed each other! Hopefully we'll be able to chat with Noud & Fien soon too :)
