Visit by Jennie and Ronald

Sun, 06/30/2013 - 10:16pm

Our friends Jennie and Ronald are making a trip along the East Coast, and yesterday they arrived in Washington, DC.

They came to see us in the morning and we had lunch together -- it was very nice to see them.

After a few minutes of shyness Nora enjoyed meeting them, and she was very happy with her gift, a big inflatable pink cow. Koe! Koe! Koe!

Walking

Thu, 06/20/2013 - 10:48pm

Nora is walking, as of today. We are very proud.

She was excited about her new 'baby carpet' and enjoyed walking on it and continued to hike throughout the living room.

In America a one-year old baby is called a "toddler", from the verb "to toddle". The Dutch translation for that verb is "waggelen" -- to walk unsteadily.

Second run with Nora

Tue, 06/18/2013 - 10:04pm

I ran with Nora again. It's always easier to do a run if you've done it before and tonight was no exception. It's 3 minutes slower than when I ran this course alone. Running up hill with the stroller is not trivial!

Nora doesn't mind the run but I think it's a little boring for her. She started sucking her thumb after 20 minutes.

Distance: 
4 miles
Duration: 
43 minutes

First steps!

Wed, 06/12/2013 - 9:34pm

Nora made her first steps this weekend! For a while now she was able to walk while holding our hands, but she started walking all by herself now, sometimes up to 8 steps.

In other news: we bought two gates to close off the kitchen and the stairs.

Run after a cold

Wed, 06/12/2013 - 9:51am

My previous run was a week ago. A cold delayed my getting back in the rhythm by an extra week, but last night I went for a run. A new course, 3.9 miles. Should really look for 4 miles but for now it's fine. Nice and hilly.

Distance: 
4 miles
Duration:

Lunch on the deck

Sun, 05/26/2013 - 1:55pm

The weather is great today and we're spending a lot of time on the deck.

After we came back from a walk to the playground Nora had her lunch outside. We still have to get used to everything -- we all got startled when a squirrel ran along the fence of the garden. There are a lot of birds outside.

Last night we finished unpacking the kitchen, did the first laundry and cooked for the first time on the new stove.
