some exciting news....

Hi,

Before I forget, I have some exciting news... we're going to have another niece or nephew! Siska (Rudi's sister) and Justin are expecting a baby. She's due April 14th, 2010. A little brother or sister for Logan. We're so excited for them!

My sister, Anyke, is due any day now..

We are doing really good. We had a fun weekend. We went to Ann Morrison park in Boise, early Saturday morning for the Women's Fitness Celebration. Together with Siska and Logan, we handed out milk to all the people that walked (or ran) the marathon. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful sunny day. Tys and Nieko came along as well. We spent the rest of the day in Boise. Then we were invited to Rudi's parents (new) home to have dinner. Rudi's parents went on vacation and brought presents back for all of us. Well, the exciting part is, is that we had frikandellen and kroketten for dinner (These are my favorite Dutch snacks!) Yum!!! It was delicious.

On Sunday we went to church and after church I dropped of Rudi at the airport, because he was flying to Madison, Wisconsin, to be at World Dairy Expo. He had a great time there and spent time with our friends, Michael and Carrie and their kids, Madison and Noah, from Florida! Rudi came home today, I just went and picked him up from the airport.

Well, the cold weather is finally here. On Monday we had a warm day, 90F!!! And today the high is 58F! So that's a big change... It feels super cold, plus it's windy too.

Dirk (Rudi's brother) and his wife, Molly and their two sons, Arie and Ioan, got here on Sunday night. They're staying with Cory (Rudi's other brother) and Katie. Ioan is one month younger than Nieko and they're about the same weight!

Nieko turned three months on Monday, he weighed 12lbs 14oz. (Tys weighed that much when he was 2 months!) He's doing really good. He's still my sweet baby!

It seems like Tys is learning a lot these days. He's really starting to communicate a lot and he understands everything I say to him (in Dutch that is). He doesn't talk yet, but he knows a lot. He's getting to be such a big boy! He just changed from diaper size 4 to 5.. I got all his winter clothes out and thankfully they seem about the right size...

Well, that's about all the news I've got!

Enjoy all the pictures!
