How to Move a House in Two Days...

Thursday morning the movers barged in our house like commandos on a mission. Within 6 hours our house looked like this:

Since they were done at 2pm and we didn’t have much else to do that day, we walked to the center and treated the kids (and ourselves!) to an ice cream. 



That evening we dropped the kids off with Oma at our bungalow house so we wouldn’t have the kids in the way on Friday. And Friday bright and early the commandos stormed in our house again to finish packing last minute things. Shortly thereafter the container made its way to our house and they began loading. They amazed us again when they popped open a beer and called it a done job at 2pm again!



Luckily we don't live on a busy street! 


Why bother dragging all of the boxes down the stairs when you can throw them out the window?!


The container made it after a bit of off-roading in our neighbourhood


Bye bye! Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed that we see that same container on the other side of the ocean!

Currently we are living in a bungalow in a vacation park about an hour away from our house. After a chaotic, but fun day on Saturday with the whole family, we are now fully enjoying having a tropical swim paradise, a bowling alley, playgrounds, and much more within a 5 minute walk from our house.

Tomorrow we are taking advantage of our Easter gift from MiMi and Opa and are headed back to the Efteling!

Afscheidsfeest

Monday Max enjoyed being the center of attention during his afscheidsfeest (goodbye party) at his school.Even though it wasn't his birthday, he still got to blow out candles, sing songs, and treat his classmates to a yummy treat! 


Max misses school already, but it's only 2 weeks before he begins his first real school year at Wiregrass Christian Academy!



The Party Boy!


Singing with Juffrouw Toni


Max's classmates cheering for him


Everyone wished him well in the coming months


And Mama made treats for him to pass out 


Dag Dag Turfjes!! 






Sweet Summertime Swingin'

Babe on the move!

I'm ashamed to say that our smallest babe's latest moves are no new news at all. But, no time is better than now to share that we officially have our hands full with a mobile monkey! Although the news is a little late, the video is from his first day of crawling. Enjoy!

Funny Face

I love your funny face 



Your sunny, funny face. 




For you're a cutie 




With more than beauty



You've got a lot of 



per-son-a-li-ty 




You fill the air with smiles 




For miles and miles and miles

Eyeballs...

Really freak me out. So I wasn't to thrilled when we were put in a room yesterday morning and this appeared on the tv:


Yes, beloved readers, that is my husband's eyeball. They were gracious enough to let us watch them cut, scrap away, and laser at it. Thankfully it only took about five minutes!

He's been recovering at home the past two days, and despite some pain, he is doing well. Hopefully he'll be 100% again soon!

Sweet Goodbyes

This past weekend we took the kids to Groningen to BBQ and say goodbye to some dear friends of ours. Though it wasn't easy to say goodbye, I will always treasure the friendships I've made here.
