Lots of pictures today, we realise that there haven't been any for a while.
So first some old ones from when Louise's father was visiting. We had a great time, and the weather was perfect. It was the very late summer we had in the Netherlands at the end of September, after it rained most of July and August. Great weather for some gardening, almost too warm. Not complaining, mind you.
We leveled out all the paths around the side of the house, So now we can get around without getting our feet wet, and more importantly, Noah can get around as well.
Then we quickly jump forward in time, to a week and a half ago, when Sinterklaas arrived in Rotterdam. Aunt Anneke came over, to help Louise to get him on the boat, she arrived the day before.
There is tradional candy at sinterklaas, of which there was plenty of on the boat. Noah is usually not that good in eating by himself, but these seemed to go down quite well:
Luckily he calmed down again (as he dropped most on the floor, he didn't eat all that much).
Except for the boat with Sinterklaas, there were also a lot more boats to take all the gifts that Sinterklaas brings:
And here is Sinterklaas himself:
This is where Sinterklaas gets of the boat into Rotterdam. The crowd was enormous!
Sinterklaas leaves the boat here, but Noah and the other kids had to stay on and get of at another point, as it was just too busy. Well, after all the excitement, there is only one thing left to do: A nap.
Hope you enjoyed it,
Thijs

Hi guys, haven't looked at the blog for quite some time, but WOW! Noah is heart meltingly gorgeous - that smile speaks volumes. you both should be so proud of yourselves - we all know Noah is a little fighter and very spirited, but he gets that from his mum and dad. You all look so happy. I know I keep saying it Lou, but I really must try and get over to see you. Love to you and yours, speak soon . xxxx
Hi doll, great pictures, hope you all had a good day, it certainly looked like it.
I particularly like you in that hat! Cheered me up no end, after a 15 hour day in this hell hole. I was in need of a smile.
Hope your all well, write soon (log onto www.bfpo.mod.uk you should be able to send an e-bluey )
Love to everyone esp. my 'not so wee' Elfin child.
Lots of love
