Aachen German Christmas Market!

 Kees was all bundled up for the market.

 Kees picked out a panda stuff animal from the market.

 So cute!

 Beautiful Aachen Germany.

 Yes...I will take some of those please! Amazing chocolates and cookies for Christmas!

Check-up

Kees had his check-up today. It was his first visit in Maastricht. It is a nice clinic that he will go to until he turns 4. He was average for his height at 3 feet 1.16 inches and 30.25 pounds. They said that he is growing well and a healthy boy! The nurse had Kees put shapes into a box and draw a line and he passed the test! Below is a picture from a while back...my little sweetie pie! 

Damascus Road Communion Dinner

 Damascus Road International Church held a Communion dinner. It was a wonderful evening of many nationalities of people coming together to break bread and remember all Christ has done in our lives. Below is Steve praying over the meal.

Kidz

 Here are some pictures from last Sunday. I was helping out with the kids so Kees liked helping me set up the class and helped me get the craft ready. He is one great little helper!

Painting

I saw this art done in torn paper and thought I would give it a try in black paint. The very white wall in our bedroom was needing something to fill the space. 

Ikea

It was a big day at Ikea getting everything we need for setting up the Team Netherlands house!
We almost lost Kees in the cart...
Yes...Kees is in the cart!
He got a new dog to be friends with the world famous "dog." Dog is still the #1 choice but new dog and dog are becoming good friends. :)

Raimey Faith!

We just got the wonderful news and pictures about our niece Raimey!! They are in China at this very moment adopting precious Raimey. The pictures brought me so much joy to see her in the loving arms of her family! Darren and Justin look like they are enjoying every moment with their baby sister. We heard Raimey even gave Darren and Justin lessons in how to use chopsticks!
Some of the first pictures of Dad and Mom with their daughter Raimey!
