A new blog!!!

James, Jenna and Joshua Piet

I have decided to move my blog to blogger. The other blog isn't as easy to post comments to for those of you in the states. So after lots of going back and forth I finally bit the bullet and moved it here. I have been planning on doing this for some time but .... never had the time or energy to do it. I would like to keep this blog a bit more private, the kids are getting older and I have heard a few really creapy stories. I know that by putting this on the internet it is available for everyone who wants to see it but.. I would prefer it to be only family and friends who read it.

Last weekend Jenna, James and Joshua got to help Sinterklaas out and played black pieter (zwarte pieten) for the children of the employees of the hospital. They had a ball, and loved being able to act crazy without anyone knowing who they were. I will add a few photo's of them in action. I took pictures, and loved reminincing about how my babies used to be in awe around this time of the year. Big bright eyes full of wonder, Love it.


I am still busy looking for work. This sitting at home all day is for the birds! But at least the house is clean!! Ha. The kids aren't home much during the day anymore so there is no reason to stay home anymore. It is hard to find something since I have been out of work for so long! I am still looking into finding some kind of training to follow, so it makes my search a bit easier.


Yesterday I finally got a letter from the government saying that I don't have to take the class to become "dutch". I would have been a bit pissed off if they had decided I had to take the class. One more thing that I don't have to worry about! Yeah!


Jenna is going to be working at a florist tomorrow morning. She is really interested in making bouqets, and flowers. So this is a good way to get a good feel for what it takes. She brought me flowers on Monday and when she got home she arranged them for me. She is pretty good, considering she has no training.


James is doing fine too. Busy with school, girls and parties. A typical teenage boy. He is working hard to save money for a moped.


Okay enough for now... Here are a few photos.
