Fire Fighter Event

t'Was a day that the boys asked to stay home from market so they could go to the local Fire Fighters event. Usually they plead to go along to market...=)

I hope you enjoy this short clip of our family life. This was the first time Joel pulled himself up...as if to say; Can I watch you make your farm, boys? Vader Pieter is playing in the background....I love it when he plays...which is often!! Woohoo! ♥




Precious times make precious memories. Make precious memories today!

Fun with Collages!

One day after Hendriks shower, I told him to find himself a shirt in the pile of laundry (yup, we have those sometimes) and he comes back to me with a cheerful: "I found one...!"

He is so full of life, and along with that comes mischief and naughtiness, but oh, what would we do without him? I am thankful that I am his mother, although when he was little, I often wondered if he would ever grow up and do anything good! He is still a rascal, but a good rascal.




Dear sweet Pieter, learning to bake all by himself! Thats a good thing, because with the amount of food being eaten by BOYS, we can use the help in the kitchen!!!



Rein at the market. He loves it at the market.






Only Hendrik can get two bee stings at the same time...the one sting at the top of his left ear....and the other at the top of his right ear!!!


Yup, that's Hendrik!!!!!




Happy Joel! He has lots of loving hands to care for him and with the blessing of many children...he gets trained by all! When he crawls to something 'forbidden' I often hear the children already calling out; No, no, Joel, don't touch.

That makes for a happy Joel and a very happy momma!
