Autumm UK visit

We had a great time visiting family and friends in October. We enjoyed some lovely sunshine and loved catching up with church friends during a daytrip to Manchester. It was strange popping into our house whilst there but must admit we didn't miss it but we do miss our friends of course!

Brussels break

we had a lovely little break to Brussels last weekend. Chris had a factory visit nearby so we made the most of it with Naomi going to opa and oma (Leo's parents). The square was beautiful and we enjoyed some last bit of summer sunshine and great beer! Esther who is such an angel is quite happy to go without a nap all day but unlike her was subsequently very unsettled all evening! Definately getting the breast pump out next time!

Esther first crawling attempt!

Centre Parcs

We had a midweek at Center Parcs which is big over here. I had always wanted to go again after many fun memories there when I was younger. It's the ideal place for kids and Naomi loved the fantastic pool. She is so adventurous going down all the big slides and wild water stream and has no fear of anything in the playgrounds either. We went to a big indoor fun park next to the park called Plopsa and she loved all the rides, but can become a little shy when meeting the famous characters!

family weekend away-Hoenderloo

We had a great time with my family in the village where my dad grew up. We celebrated my parents 70th and enjoyed being together (37 of us spread over 5 holiday homes!), going for a walk down memory lane for my dad and having pancakes! Lots of fun all round.

Esther in the big chair!

Esther at 8 months now sitting up by herself so ready to sit at the grown up table! As we are in Holland we have joined with the very popular red Stokke chair! (goes well with our red theme too!)

Even weg (little break)

Chris and I enjoyed a lovely day together with Esther whilst Naomi stayed at her cousin and found the perfect spot lounging in the sun with a glass of wine and a view of the lovely Vecht (river).
