Alright, so first off, we came back about a month ago from our wonderful trip to Holland! Such fun! Seeing the family, mom and dad's new house, showing off our kids, and biking through quaint villages and peaceful countryside meadows are only some of the adventures we experienced! Yes, it is an adventure to see my parent's new home ok? Don't ask. So anyways, the airplane rides went really well! Nikky slept the whole way there and James off and on throughout and then on the way home (Jasper went home three weeks after coming to Holland and he took James with him. James was babysat by my dear friend, while Nikky and I stayed in Holland for another 2 weeks! I know insane!) James was apparently amazing, and the stewardess stated that she had never seen such a good kid on a plane. If that doesn't challenge my pride, I don't know what does!! So I attributed it to the "slaapsap" we gave him. (sleeping juice). It's purely natural just for the record! Here are some pictures of our fun in the homeland! Enjoy!
The main shopping street in Middelharnis! It's on a dyk and it's just so quaint and gezellig! We had so much fun shopping!

Three generations
James loved the rocking horse
This was in Brugge. We went there for a day with mom and dad. And there were often horses and buggies for tourists driving around the streets and every time James saw one, his mouth went like this in awe and wonder.
As you can see, Jayden could not leave Nikky alone! He just loved her!!!
Two cousins!

Well that's all for now! Have a wonderful day!!!!
Nice Jeanette! The kids are getting so big! Are you feeling better too? Your Mom and Dad didn't move from the house they were in in the summer did they? Marlies must be due soon too. You guys are pretty rarely on FB! I'm sure with little ones it's not a good thing to do too much anyway. Thanks for posting and you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteJeanette!!! Thanks for updating! I haven't seen pics of you kiddos in ages! Nicole is enormous and a little rolly polly dumpling that I wish I could take in my arms right now! James is as darling as ever and you my dear look simply marvelous! Your time in Holland looks like it was so fun and gezellig. I'm glad you could have an extended vacation there! Take care!!
ReplyDeleteLove all these pictures! Brings back memories..... It was an excellent time he? Wish we could hold those little ones again......
