8 - 14 february 2010

On Monday I had my last BHV course day. I’m a member of the BHV of my company for my building. When something happens, we are helping the people (in case of fire, exiting the building, in case of a person is hurt, doing first aid etc.). We have to do a course every year in fire extinguishing etc.. Tuesday’s photo is of Mean, Shen and Flip the bear. Flip is going home with all of the children of their classes, they have to take care of him and write a little about the day they had together in a logbook. On Wednesday the weather was really bad again. Already almost 2 months of real winter, not normal for us! The wind was blowing the snow across the road. I took the photo from the car while driving J
Thursday was a beautiful day. I took this photo of our home when I drove home. The days are already getting longer, and I even saw the sun when I arrived home at 5.30. The Friday photo is of Mean, making her bed. She had to take everything off first, and then make her bed again. Hard work for a little girl! On Saturday Mean, grandma and I went to the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Too many (and loud!) screatching voices. But she liked it. We had a quiet Valentines day on Sunday. The photo is of Shen reading to daddy. He has made good progress in his reading!

Lost but found!

A miracle has happened. When we married almost 25 years ago, a little film was made. Only 3 minutes. We thought we lost this film forever, we couldn't find it anywhere. But it turned up recently at our sister in law's house, and she converted it into an AVI file. How sweet of her! It brings back so many memories, people that are not with us anymore, we were all 25 years younger. Have fun watching this video!

On Monday I had my First Aid exam, and I passed! On Tuesday the weather was very bad again, I drove a while but turned around to get home safely. A colleague of mine faxed and e-mailed me some work. On Wednesday my EOL book arrived (Encyclopedia of an Ordinairy Life). It has turned out very nice. The Thursday photo is of our insects. On Friday I took this photo of Mean, it is for a photo competition of my employer. I can win a TV with it! The Saturday photo is of Mean and two friends on the couch, watching Mulan and eating chips. The Sunday photo is of Mean bringing me a breakfast on bed Sunday morning. She’s so sweet!

25 - 31 january

Monday’s photo is of a work meeting, it shows two of my colleagues. On Tuesday my colleague Jantje visited us at work with her little son Sven. He was so cute, smiling at us and playing! Happy boy! The Wednesday photo is the birthday announcement of Yara, the daughter of another colleague. On Thursday we had to work on our sink again, the water is not flowing nicely. On Friday morning it snowed so bad, the children could make a few snowmen in the afternoon. Saturday was a beautiful day. It was freezing, but the sun was warm and bright. I could make beautiful pictures of the children and the dogs. On Sunday Rudy had to go under the sink again to try to fix it. It’s a bad problem!

18 - 24 january 2010

On Monday I had my second first aid training. We had to practice all kinds of bandages, so I was a patient too! Monday’s photo is of our two cats on the couch, Ischa and Bumba. They are inside a lot now that it is soo cold. Wednesday’s photo is of my side of the bed. We bought this neckroll around Christmas at IKEA, and I’m very happy with it. Ischa was sitting really weird on the couch on Thursday. Friday’s photo is of Shen playing a game on the netbook. On Saturday we went to McDonalds with my mom. It was a celebration of Mean’s adoption day (which is in November, but we hadn’t had time to go before, mostly because of the bad weather, McDonalds is about 12 km away from us). On Sunday we went eating out and bowling with the trainers and the volunteers of the dog training school We had lots of really good food and fun, and Mean could play some bowling too!
