Wow, it's been 2 months since I updated... oops!
Well, little Finn is already six months, has two teeth, is starting to eat solids, en is rolling like crazy! that's what's new with him. He now weighs 18lbs. He's growing just like his brother Tys, who weighed the same at that stage. Nieko weighed 16lbs when he was 6 months.
Nieko is mostly learning how to talk. He's almost 2,5 and doesn't talk a whole lot yet, but he's learning every day. He's such a sweet boy. Tys talks so much that maybe he doesn't feel the need to. Or it could be the whole bilangual thing that slows him down, I don't know. But I do know that he understands both languages.
Tys is 3,5 and just getting to be such a big boy. Him and Nieko are real friends and play together a lot! Of course they pester each other too.... that's just part of it. Most of the time they have fun though. Tys is getting real good at doing puzzles. He's starting to like doing crafts a little more. Which can be a little challenging, with the other two little guys. But if it becomes a mess... oh well, we'll just clean it up again!
Rudi is doing good, staying busy on the dairy. The harvest and planting etc is all done, which is nice. Yesterday Peter helped us trim our big sycamore tree. There were quite a few dead branches that we wanted to remove. The tree now looks beautiful again, and the yard is full of branches! It amazed me how those branches seemed so small when they were up there, but as soon as they hit the ground, they were huge!! We've got quite a pile!
Other than the work on the dairy, Rudi stays busy helping out with Love INC and our church. Oh, and with the kids of course. He's a great dad to the boys and such a help to me!
I'm staying busy as a mom! There's always lots to do around the house and taking care of the boys is a job in itself. I wouldn't trade it for anything though!
I went on a wonderful ladies retreat, which was so nice, it was very refreshing and encouraging. It was just what I needed. God is so good to us, and we feel incredibly blessed!
We're planning on going back to Holland in the spring! We haven't bought tickets yet, but we're so excited to go. The boys see my parents on skype, and Tys actually thinks that Pake Jacob and Beppe Jelly live in the computer. I show him on his globe where they actually live, and that we're going to go on an airplane to see them! He seems to like that idea!
Well, that's about all that's new here. If I don't blog again before Christmas, I want to wish all of you a wonderful, blessed Christmas season!
bye!
