Almost that time again..

the time to say goodbye. Almost 7 months ago we said goodbye to Michael. We get to see him again which is great, but first we have to do something that is always difficult, leave Holland, say goodbye to everybody, and worst of all, have everybody say goodbye to Max :-).

But! We celebrate first! Maxwell's 1st B day..Even though we are 1,5 months early, it will be a great way to end our time in Holland. Maxwell is so excited he even went to get a haircut today. Below are some pictures of this event ( and others). No goodbyes yet, first we celebrate!

(See why he needed a haircut? ;-)

As Jenny noted; look real close and you can see his first tooth! Bottom row.

He is so proud he's able to pull himself up now!

Thank you teletubbies! Thanks to you we get a 10 minute break from Maxwell's explorations every day ;-).

Maxwell is now the youngest in the fanily.

It may look like it, but no, we are not back in Minot. It's snowing in Holland as well.

What can I say, look at my handsome little man.

A new milestone!! Clapping!

Toys are no longer fun, everything else is.

Sitting at the table with the other man.

This picture is actually already outdated, he's standing in the bed now.

Loves his grandma van Holsteijn.

When he ask him: Where's grandpa? He know who that is. When we ask him, where's Tinky Winky? He knows as well. He even knows who Santa is! But when we ask, where's mommy? Uhhhhh, not a clue. That's what you get for months of nurturing and caring ;-), oh well....

He loves to be upside down.

Baths are so much fun!

Sinterklaas and other pictures

He can sit!

Don't worry, he's not usually this close to the tv ;-), but he loves those Teletubbies.

A little early, but Merry Christmas!

Yes, this is him: Sinterklaas!

New pictures!!
