this girl! she has become quite a bike rider at her young age....she rode all the way out to Lage Vursche, (6km each way) without stopping once! Times are changing. Its hard sometimes for me to see the kids growing up and getting older....I just want them to stay little forever...but its also great and the new things and times it brings are really fun...so I suppose its ok...just have to soak it all up!
Gma & Gpa G, and Em's Aunt Christine, Uncle Eric and cousin JP sent her money for her b-day....daddy took her to pick something out...this is what she picked and she asked Aidan to help her build it bc "he is SO good at LEGO" Priceless parent moment watching these two. melts my heart to pieces. They were laughing so hard too bc inside the lighthouse, there is an ice cream shop and a bathroom...that of course had to be build!
another bike ride on sunday...and daddy packed some treats for halfway. lucky kids!
interesting sculpture park
daddy giving Em a little push...as the ride was very long today....almost 14K I would guess. :)
Justine, for nearly 41 years, I have lived away from my home and family in Manila. I was 21 then and Louis, 23. Together we moved from country to country, making friends, and then saying good bye to them with every move. Our family unit was made up of 4 - our 2 kids and us. It extended to friends, and then on home leaves or visits, to my family in Manila and Louis' here in Holland. (His family is not that close, so it is still mainly the 4 of us here). Sometimes I wish we had that kind of family one sees in those Italian movies, but ... really, Justine... I know that we have established between the 4 of us such a strong bond of memories and experiences which have made their lives and ours so much richer. So, enjoy your quality family time now and all the obstacles you will encounter living away from home. And if you feel like talking to someone like an aunt ... there's me in my kitchen around the corner!!
