Milou can crawl!

This weekend Milou started crawling. Not yet on hands and knees, but she can cross the room quit fast. Especially when she is playing with a ball that keeps rolling away. And it seems to make her very happy.

Thijmen & Milou, January 2008

Thijmen and Milou are having more and more fun together. Sitting next to eachother in the big club chair and horse riding on Judith´s lap. Great fun!

Koh Samui, Thailand

December 28 we flew from Singapore to Koh Samui, an island on the east coast of Thailand. We were 8 adults and 3 children. The couples with children (Arnoud, Shiqi & Mylène and the four of us) stayed in the mountain villa with great sea view. The others (Joost & Waihan, Leon and Eelco) had a nice house on the beach, where we often went with the children to swim in the sea, play on the beach and sat on their terrace. Although the daily routine of the ones without children was very different (in the mountain villa the day started around around 7:00, in the beach villa around 13:00), we had a very nice time together andit was an excellent holiday.

As soon as Milou woke up, Thijmen and Mylène ran to her room and wanted to play with her. Very cute!

We often went to the beach or the swimming pool and made some trips with the jeep. Thijmen would sit on the front chair of the car (in his own seat) and loved it! Sitting in the back of the jeep even more!
New Year´s Eve we celebrated on the terrace of our mountain villa with a nice Thai meal and Champagn on the roof terrace from where we had a great view and could watch the fireworks.

Christmas dinner 2007

Eelco arrived in Singapore on Christmas eve, so we had our Christmas dinner on the 25th. With Arnoud & Shiqi who arrived the day before and Joost & Waihan and Leon already living in Singapore, we were eight. After we had put the children in bed we had a lovely meal. Of course, like every Christmas dinner, it was too much but delicious.

And Leon did a great job cutting the leg of lamb.

Visitors from China

The weekend before Christmas Arnoud, Shiqi and Mylène arrived in Singapore. It was nice seeing them again and we had a great time together.

Mylène is already a big girl and it was nice to see Thijmen and Mylène playing together. Or better said, chasing eachother, because they were often like cat and mouse. Steeling eachother toy and then fighting to get it back, which often ended in crying. Although Thijmen is 5 months younger than Mylène, he sure didn´t feel that way. But there were some nice moments together as well.

Don Juan

Thijmen is a big flirt, but he doesn´t flirt with any random girl.....he has actually got quite good taste (takes after his father). I made this video with my mobile phone in a restaurant when a nice girl sat down at the table next to us:

This is a little girlfriend Thijmen met at Sentosa beach:
