Fast run

Tue, 09/17/2013 - 10:18pm

Another fast run tonight. First time I ran with the blinking light on the front wheel.

When I drove home I realized I was very excited about going for a run with Nora. It's become more and more special, since we have more and more conversations during the run. Nora likes to point things out and it's fun to anticipate those with her. Things we see:

15 years

Thu, 09/12/2013 - 9:09pm

Yesterday we celebrated our 15 year anniversary, remembering the summer that we met each other. In 1998 we were in an exchange program for college students, and we both worked in a resort in upstate New York.

The second week of September is a week of milestones -- 13 years ago Sasha arrived in the Netherlands to start her Dutch language study, and 10 years ago today she went to the United States on an assignment in Washington, DC.

We went out for dinner last night in a Grand Cru, a restaurant in Ballston that we hadn't been to before. We sat outside in a big courtyard with a fountain, and Nora was pushing her own stroller back and forth. It's amazing to see where life has taken us.

Motor!

Mon, 09/09/2013 - 10:14pm

When we were running on the trail yesterday we heard the sound of a large group of motorcycles. On Wednesday, September 11, there will be a motorcycle rally in DC and I think these bikers were arriving early.

In any case, Nora is impressed by "motors" and when we reached the high school I stopped and we watched the traffic from the bridge for a while.

Frying Pan Farm

Mon, 09/02/2013 - 2:29pm

Today Nora saw her first cow. We visited the Frying Pan Farm in Herndon, about 30 minutes away.

Nora woke up 6.45 am, early for her, so she was a little tired but she greatly enjoyed seeing all the animals. We arrived at the farm a little after 9.00 am and the first thing we saw from the parking lot were a cow and a bull, grazing in a pasture. Nora first thought was "paard" (horse), since those she had seen before.

Frying Pan Farm is a beautiful farm and great fun for kids and adults. We saw lots of animals: cows, sheep, horses, pigs, goats, turkeys, peacocks, chickens... Nora was impressed. The animals dutifully made all sorts of noises. We heard the roosters crow, and the cows were mooing. The goats were a little scary.

I also pointed out some of the farm machines, including the plow (ploeg) and when we gave Nora a sandwich later and asked: "wat zagen we op de boerderij?" (what did we see on the farm?), she answered: "ploeg!".
