Getting photos onto the computer seems like such a hassle these days. Our computer memory is getting a little chock full so I have to delete and then download, ugh. So whilst there has been lots going on around these parts there hasn't been a lot of blogging because I feel that posts NEED pictures. Here are a few that I've taken with the computer camera:
One of a few little birds nests that are gracing our table. They'll be made into jewelry for Queen's Day. I'm not sure if people will be into them, but I don't mind cause then I can become the bird lady and wear eggs and nests in my hair.
Behold the moustachio-ed men. These guys are a work in process, again for Queen's Day.
It's tulip season here in Holland and Andrew insists on buying me flowers when we go to the market on Saturdays. Aaw, isn't he the greatest?
This is the scent wafting through my house right now. I wanted to make some sponge dough bread so this is it,
Italian pesto bread to go with our soup for dinner (if there's any left, I seem to be making a rather large dent in it).
And lastly, but by no means leastly, the bump. Moo has been kicking up a storm lately. Yesterday in church Andrew and I watched as my dress jumped all over the place, that kid likes church I tell ya. I'm calling the midwife in the morning to make our first appointment, this kid is 24 weeks old and has already visited 4 different doctors so it's about time that we tried for some continuity of care!
Stuff that the computer hasn't been around to document: hours spent on a picnic blanket in the park, watching as a man almost died in the canal outside our house (he didn't, thank goodness for helpful strangers who can swim and husbands who can remember emergency numbers), visiting precious friends, storming the kringloops, and generally being content.
This girl can funk it up - even in pj's! oh, and mental note to self, "Be very specific next time warm weather gear is needed!"
Andrew has given me the wooden spoon. Well, he bandaged it around my hand in an effort to help with another pregnancy inconvenience. I've been waking up at night with numb/painful hands, I think it's probably my carpel tunnel cause that can play up during pregnancy. This is our homemade effort to try and help me get a good night's sleep!
Maybe not as eloquent as Dad's butt crack, and definitely not as cute as Linny's girls, but here's our birthday message for you Trinny! You asked for it on a piece of paper, so the Birthday girl got what the Birthday girl wanted, with a little extra fun! We hope you've had a WONDERFUL and FABULES day, hip-hip-hooray!
"Growing old is manditory, growing up is optional!"
We are very excited. We get to send postcards and then we get them back. How cool is that!
All my paints that I used for last year's Queen's Day have dried up so I've had to change my packaging technique. This year is the year of the marking pen, lots of colouring-in is going on in this house. QD is on Friday so the colouring-in will be amped up this week although I think I've got some hand issues as my right hand keeps on going numb during the night!
Alright, sometimes things just go right after about the 20th try and I was very persistent with this because it is SO worth it. Have a look at the story that Kenzi wrote about her cousins being over!
