Friends reunited

During a recent trip to the Middle East, Thijs was lucky enough to catch up with Klaas and Ingrid in Dubai.  Was a bit jealous when I received the pictures on my phone....

Poezeoma in Texas

Here some pictures that were taken during October/November when poezeoma came to visit.  

We went on a trip to the Buffalo Bayou where she experimented with her new selfie stick :) and had a very nice lunch afterwards at the Backstreet Cafe. Dinner at Grimaldi's is always part of the routine

Halloween

Yes, I know! Way behind on posting this year. Not sure if I can catch up again but I will try to show some improvement for the rest of the year.....

Halloween was on a Saturday night this year, nice! All week it was not looking too good weather wise but we were lucky! By trick-or-treat time it had dried up and the kids were able to do their rounds. Famke as Hermione from Harry Potter and Floortje as a bunny rabbit.

 

3 on 3 basketball

After having a great time during the basketball season last year Floortje decided to also compete in 3 on 3 this year.  This is (as you probably figured) 3 against 3 on a half court.  The fun part is that because they are fewer players you get the ball a lot more.  Floortje did really well and we were amazed at the progress she made when comparing it to last year.  Bring on the 5 on 5 season!

Winning selfies

 Two more winning tennis selfies, this time with Marianne!

Harvest

For the sedan year in a row I have tried planting a vegetable garden in my backyard.  Last year the rabbits enjoyed it very much....

This year I decided to put some protection around the garden but the harvest was still very mediocre...

I'll give it one more try next spring

Shop

While we were in Dubai and the girls were still small my mom and dad made this little shop for them.  They have had so much fun playing with but have now outgrown it.  Therefore we decided to sell it and it is now being enjoyed by a Dutch-American family. Hope their kids will have as much fun with it as Famke and Floortje did.

Just wanted to post a picture here so we wouldn't forget about it.
