We're home!

After a long day, we finally made it to Minot. Maxwell did great; such a good little traveller. Coming home was not so much fun though, we were met by a broken car, lots of snow, cold and many chores awaiting, ugh....

Some pictures of the trip:

All that traveling, only to return to this ;-):

Moving out..

Again, thank you teletubbies (and Nicole for making the dvd's), now we were able to actually do some work.

An ice pick that was hanging on the gutter, crazy!!

Max's cheeks turned all red because of the dryness up here.

Luckily we have been able to do a good amount of work since we got here (and have received help from friends). By the time my dad leaves, Max and I should be able to concer the forces of nature ourselves.

That is until Michael returns. Let's start the countdown!!!!! Almost there......

B day pictures!

Totally in the wrong order, but I am tired after a busy day ;-). Thanks everybody for coming!

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!
