Kees and Sela!

Sweetie Pie!

 We have been enjoying the sunshine here in Maastricht. Kees has been having a fun time riding his bike and playing soccer. He was in the mood for photos so I got some cute smiles out of him :)

 We have a small patio and I decided it was time to get some flowers. I was reading in Corrie Ten Booms book about her life before the war that her mother always made it a point to grow flowers. She had no yard and only a window that opened up to the roof tops so she planted flowers in pots on the roof outside her window. The Dutch are amazing at what they do with their gardens in small spaces.

My sweet baby boy! I'm so excited to see him as a big brother. He talks about Sela coming all the time. Not much longer to wait! 

32 Weeks!

Steve's 39th Birthday Party!

 Sunday we celebrated Steve's 39th birthday! It was so great that so many of his friends made the journey to Maastricht for his birthday. The Texans made a Mexican dinner and we had cupcakes and carrot cake.

 A full house! It was nice that the weather held up so we could open the back porch up.

 'Happy Birthday'

Fort Willem

 This past Sunday at church I asked my friend Ursula if she knew of any fun parks in Maastricht and she told me about Fort Willem. We went together yesterday and had a great time. Pictured above is Isabella (next to me) and Junior and his cousin Luana. It was a hot one in Maastricht so we found a picnic table in the shade. The weather has been cold and rainy so I was so excited to have a warm summer day to enjoy!

 Here they are playing mini-golf. It was Kees' first time so he wasn't sure what to do but figured it out fast after watching his buddy Junior take the first few swings.

 Kees checking out the slide...his favorite at any playground!

 Cinderella!

Having a blast at Fort Willem...we will be coming back here again!

If You Give A Boy A Cookie....
