Snow fun and other pictures.

Hi all,

We promised to be better at posting pictures, so here we are!
First of all, a few pictures from when my parents were visiting. Sunday roast, and our little man, not looking his Sunday best, but oh well..... Even little kids can a day were they can't be bothered and put on their sweatpants.


Roast rib of beef, roasties, yorkshire pudding, the full works .... everything! Yummy!! :)


And then... there was snow! First a little bit, which was good as we had some trees removed from the front garden. By professionals this time, as they were much to big for us to do by ourselves.

Before:
Tree 'Surgeon' hard at work. In this case tree butcher would be more appropriate maybe...

After:

When there was only a bit of snow Noah could still go out in his walker, and in the push-chair, but then it really started snowing!

Seems hard to imagine now it is all gone again, but we had lots of it. Everyone loved it, the dog loves running after snowflakes, everything looks really pretty. We had my old sled that my parents brought over the previous week. It even holds the suction machine and the emergency pack that we have to take everywhere.

Noah loved the snow, he started crying when we took him back inside! Any sightings of yeti in Leidschendam can be blamed on him.


He did find it hard to stay sitting still, and keep his balance, but he has grown so much stronger over the last year that he managed to keep upright. Not bad for a kid without tummy muscles!

Lilo enjoyed it too .... but the tennis ball was more of a snow ball! Notice Lilo is getting her father Christmas white beard too? (we're not to mention that she's getting old!!)




After all that snow fun it was time for a nice warm bath, to get all warm again.


Last weekend, we had a party, so my parents looked after Noah, and we could go. It was a 70's theme party, so we had to dress up for it. Here I am together with Paul, a friend of ours.



We'll save you the rest of the pictures, allthough we left early, so probably did not witness the worst.....

Only a week to go till Christmas, so that will probably be our next update.

UPDATE: It is snowing again here, already 15 cm on the ground, and more in the air.

I love a sled that can fit a suction machine and sitting up like that on a sled, I surely see tummy muscles. I absolutely love the snow and I see Noah does too. We do not see any here in Phoenix. I hope you have a very merry Christmas and that next year is just as amazing as this year. I am so moved this year as to how far our boys have come. Be sure to give yourself a gift and take a break for at least one day, feet up and a glass of wine! Lots of love to you and your family! Hugs from Arizona

PS, Kal’s first sound was on Christmas Eve one year; I am wishing the same for you
