Whoa, die is zwanger!

I'm now just days away from my due date, and feeling it. Yesterday I stopped into the Hema and heard a guy say to someone, after I had passed, 'Whoa, die is zwanger!' Which you could translate into something like, 'Dang, she's pregnant!' It's a good thing we don't have a full length mirror in the house and I'm thankful that Neil keeps trying to convince me that I look good.

There's not much to update on this blog, just thought I'd update that the baby has not arrived yet. We're all excited for it to happen and can't wait to meet this little one. 'Can't wait' it also a good term in this situation because I do truly feel like I can't wait any longer (please, let this one not be overdue!). In the mean time I am keeping myself busy with all things domestic, including knitting some fun baby items, like this little red bonnet in the picture. I found this baby alpaca wool that feels like it was spun in heaven. Nothing could be better for a tender newborn head.

Summer Holidays

We got back from being on a long holiday in St. Louis, B.C. Canada and Florida. Thought I would share some pictures...

Wedding!


This is what happens when Neil starts taking pictures...who knows? (Let's not forget that this is during the wedding.)


The wedding was peacock-themed.

Something reminded me of this music video today and thought I would post...

10 reasons I'm super happy

10. The blauwe regen (wisteria) vine has reached all the way up to our flat this year and is blooming. It smells like heaven, and is so beautiful.

9. I'm going to see these guys soon:


8. Neil gets/has gotten lots of days off recently for public holidays, so we've had more days together. This picture was in our neighborhood on Bevrijdingsdag (independence day?), last week.


7. We just celebrated Koninginnedag on april 30th, one of my favorite days of the year. The weather wasn't ideal in the morning, but it was still great. This is my favorite find of the day. A vintage children's tray that cost me 1 euro, which the woman selling it said was given to her when she was a child. Why would you sell this???


6. I'm finished with school! (this is HUGE) No more juggling lectures and babysitters and shoolwork and family and a household and everything else at one time. Ahhhh, relief.


5. I get to do fun things now that school is done, like knit while Cameron is sleeping.

And go to places like Artis (Amsterdam zoo) while Cameron is awake.


4. Cameron is funny. Here he managed to pull a bag of nappies from under his bed.


3. Neil is an amazing husband. Who still likes Duplo.


2. We're having a baby! (due in september) We're super excited.


1. I love Jesus!
