Just some pictures!


We took the side off of Tys' crib and he's doing great. He started climbing out of his crib, so we thought this was a little safer option :-)
He's made one visit to our bedroom in the middle of the night so far, but other than that, he stays in his bed. How's the potty training going? It's not..! But it's ok. I'm patient with it and waiting for him to be ready for it.


Dinner time~ after dinner Rudi reads them out of the Dutch children's bible. They love it!








I'm 28 weeks today and officially in the third trimester! Yesterday I got to take another look in-utero at our beautiful little miracle. The Dr. thinks he/she looks like Tys! And no- I was not tempted at all to find out if it's a he or a she! But I am curious :-)

That's it for now!

6th child


My mom holding me shortly after I was born.

I am my parents 6th child, and 5th daughter. My little sister was born 9 years later.

Nieko!

Getting so big!

Tys and Nieko are getting so big! Next month Tys is turning three already!
His cousins (same age) are either potty trained or are working on it. Tys, however is not interested at all! He'll want to try right after he saw his cousin go, but that's it! I'm just waiting until he's a little more ready. Hopefully before the baby.
Nieko is learning how to talk, he doesn't say much at all! The word he uses the most is "haitie" (daddy). He can say beppe and poop (while he points at his crotch :-)

They are both so incredibly fun! It's weird to think how our life was before they were here. So different!

Speaking of getting big- I'm getting pretty big myself! Almost 27 weeks already. It's just crazy to think that in about 13 weeks we'll have another baby!
The pregnancy is going really well, nothing to complain about. A little heartburn every now and then, but that's all.

Other than that things are going great! We've had some really nice, warm days already. And it's another sunny day today. I just love it! The boys are able to play outside again, which they enjoy.

My parents are coming in May, to see the baby. They're staying for 4 weeks!!

Here are some pictures;



Nieko fell asleep in the high chair


Tys wanted to wear make up, just like me!


This was on a Wednesday. I took them to bible study that morning. And Nieko fell asleep on the way home, but that was the only nap he had. Tys didn't have a nap at all, he helped Rudi on the dairy. At around 5 pm we found them, both sound asleep on the couch! (The tv wasn't even on!)



The brothers!
