Milou can walk!

One and a half week before her 1st birthday, Milou started to walk and it´s going better and faster every day.

Milou´s 1st birthday

Last Friday we celebrated Milou´s 1st birtday. She didn´t know what to do with the candle on her birthday cake, so Lily helped her.

3 weeks in the Netherlands

The first three weeks of May we spend in the Netherlands. We stayed with Paul´s parents and had a great time there. Although the flight from Singapore to Amsterdam was a nightmare and we had to recuperate from our jetlag for almost a week.

We were really lucky with the weather, it was warm and sunny most of the time, so Thijmen and Milou could play in the garden almost every day. On the first day Paul bought two bicycle seats and I think we´ve been cycling every day with Thijmen and Milou. They really liked it, especially Thijmen. In the morning he would come downstairs, walk to the garage, point at the bicycle and say: "fiets, fiets" (bicycle, bicycle). In other words, he wanted to go cycling. So often Paul would take him for a ride, at 8 o´clock in the morning.

The second week, Corinne, Pierre, Luc and Julie came over for France and it was really nice to see them again after one and a half year. The children had a great time together and enjoyed being in the small pool we bought for them.
