Fabulous Esther

I know we've taken our sweet time posting pictures of our fabulous Noah. Luckily fabulous Esther came to the rescue last Sunday and took the most wonderful pictures of our family.  When I saw the montage I had tears in my eyes.  The photos really capture .... well everything that I love about our family.  I hope you enjoy seeing it too.



Check out more of Esthers work HERE

Enjoy!

(Some what) more recent pictures - Updated!

Hi everyone,

A whole new bunch of pictures. And a bit about how we have been doing as well. So let's get the boring stuff out of the way. I'll start with myself and work up to more interesting bits.

I have been quite busy at work, trying to impress my bosses enough to get a promotion. This seems to be working, but the headoffice is at the same time trying to cut costs and effectively pay everyone less. Not sure if I will come out with more or less pay at the end of this, but it is not very motivating to get a promotion only to counter the effect of budget cuts. Oh well, I'll see what happens.
In the mean time I am preparing for the future, so I can do some off the books work in the weekends ;-). Here the first steps, I will be available for any bricklaying needs from the 1st of march ;-).





Louise has been ill quite a lot, a very persistent cold that does not want to go away. Not enough to be truly sick, but enough to feel quite bad nonetheless. On the more positive side, she has registered her Baby Signing Business and will give a presentation at Noah's kindergarten at the end of March. Let's hope she can generate some business as well.

Noah has been ill on and off for December, Januari and the beginning of Februari. We finally managed to convince the hospital that he needed a bigger canule, so he got that and has been better since. Even though he did get a cold (it is winter after all) he didn't get so ill and could continue going to school.
He is again improving and showing some signs that he may start to use sign language. A lot of ifs in that last sentence, but it looks really promising, although you have to look quite hard.
Aside from the signing, he is walking better, improving his fine motor skills, and eating better. All in very smal steps, but with all his contnued illness it is amazing that he is improving and not just standing still or even going backwards.  We're very proud of our big guy!

So on to a load of pictures:
