Nora is back

Thu, 08/17/2017 - 10:28am

Last night Sasha and Nora arrived at Dulles. Sasha went to pick her up two weeks ago and so after two months our family is finally reunited.

The girls had a great time in Bulgaria and Greece. We were home around 11.00 pm last night, and the first thing Nora asked for was boterham met kaas. Her Dutch is still very good -- a little slow, but with a rich vocabulary.

This morning at 6.15 am Leo started waking up and he was very happy when his mother was caressing him, so we slept a little longer.

With Opa & Oma

Sat, 08/12/2017 - 3:41pm

The boys and my parents are very comfortable with each other. When Leo and Adrian wake up, they don't call for me but yell "Oma! Oma!" instead. Which works for me since I get to sleep a little longer.

Oma has a lot of patience, which is good when the boys are having breakfast. They have a routine figured where the first half of the breakfast is independent -- but the second half is with Oma reading a book.

After breakfast they usually go the playground or the grocery store, and have lunch around noon follow by a nap. They are really happy with the fruithapje when they wake up.

Their Dutch is improving significantly. Of course, they are learning appropriate and non-appropriate words alike so Adrian is fond of saying "oh jee!" now. When they count objects, they'll say: "een auto, twee auto's... allemaal auto's".

Silver Diner

Sat, 08/12/2017 - 2:18pm

Last night we went to the Silver Diner. Eva tried a real milkshake, Jaap had the lamb meatballs, Mieke the sliders and the boys had a small hamburger each. It was a fun evening, though we never heard our song by Ace of Base.

This morning Jaap and Mieke went to Barnes & Noble while Eva arranged her cellphone and then went out for a bike ride through Arlington. I took the boys on the bakfiets for some chores -- we returned a book, dropped off a package and did some small shopping at Wholefoods.

Roosevelt Memorial

Sat, 08/05/2017 - 4:20pm

I worked til late last night. I was done at 12:30 am but then I didn't sleep very well. Nevertheless we had a nice morning together. Adrian woke up calling "Oma! Oma" and while Leo was calling for me, Mieke came to pick him up also which gave me another 45 minutes in the morning.

We went to the Roosevelt Memorial and MLK Memorial. We saw ducks, geese and a big turtle.

Getting used to Opa & Oma

Fri, 07/28/2017 - 9:39pm

It often taken Leo a little while to get used to new people around him, but he's getting very comfortable with Opa and Oma.

Here you see Leo chasing Opa, after Opa was chasing Leo.

Adrian is quicker to adjust to new crowds and he loves hanging out with his grandparents. "Oma! Lezen!"

Fourth of July

Tue, 07/04/2017 - 3:11pm

The parade in Lyon Village is always a nice event. Last year the guys were still in their stroller, and on the pictures you can see that they weren't even wearing outdoor shoes yet.

This year I took them on the bakfiets which was a lot of fun.

Six Flags America

Sat, 06/17/2017 - 9:00pm

Today we went to Six Flags America, in Maryland, about 45 minutes from us.

My work organized an event for employees and we all got tickets and there was a lunch, a really nice gesture.

We all loved it. Adrian summarized it like this: "Adrian, hoe vond je het pretpark?" "Trein! Ekaka [helikopter]! Vlieg-tuig!"

Chestnut Hills Park

Sun, 06/11/2017 - 1:11pm

This morning we took the car and went to Chestnut Hills Park, a few minutes away from Heidelberg bakery.

It's a really nice park, with a good amount of spade and we had a great morning. There were a lot of toy cars in the park, and I think Leo and Adrian managed to get them all in the same place. Nora played with a group of other kids.
