"Saucy"

Just outside our camper was a ride on horse. Kees called it "Saucy." He was enjoying his ride with lollipop in hand.


Biking

Kees is riding his bike now! He has been practicing in the backyard at our house. When we were camping he was able to try out his bike skills on the open bike path...he loved it! He thought it was really great to bike along side Papa. You can see in the picture that Kees' beloved "dog" went along for a ride on the bike.

Easter Break

We are back home from our Easter break trip. We had a fun time at a family camping site. They had organized activities for the kids so that was a lot of fun for Kees. The weather was so wonderful! We even got to BBQ on Easter day because it was so warm! Here is Kees painting his Easter egg. It is hard to find white eggs here in Holland...that is why Kees is painting a brown egg! :)
Taking his painting seriously...
Here is Steve and Kees doing crafts at one of the organized events.
Kees having a picture taken with the Easter bunny. Kees called him, "Dog." :)
Kees not sure what to be looking for. They hid the eggs at the playground so he only wanted to go on the slide. He is the one in the blue hat. Once he saw one of the eggs he got a little more interest in looking for one.
Mama and Kees doing a egg craft.
Love the egg trees that they have here. This one was really beautiful. They even added a chicken.

Keeping Cool

Kees discovering the joy of a cool popsicle on a hot day. The weather has been so nice here. We survived winter! Kees has been going outside at 8 in the morning because it has been so nice. Our living room gets that wonderful warm morning sunshine! Kees has been getting over pink eye and now mommy has it...bummer. I'm looking forward to no more winter colds and sickness!
Just hanging out at the sandbox.

Spring!

Tulips growing along the canal by our house. Mooi!

Teapot

Today when I picked Kees up from school he was holding a special gift he had made for me. He had colored a teapot then filled it with tea bags. It made my heart melt and my eyes tear up! This was the first piece of art that Kees has ever made at school and just for his mommy. I felt overwhelmingly blessed today to be a mom! Love you baby Kees!

Boat Cafe

Kees had preschool today so Steve and I went to our favorite cafe. It was a beautiful sunny day so we ate on the boat outside the restaurant.


My sandwich with strawberries...lekker!
