Foto van mezelf
Ik ben zelf meestal degene die hier in het gezin het fototoestel vasthoudt. Dat betekent dat er maar weinig foto's van mij zijn. En als ze er al zijn dan is het natuurlijk ook nog eens zo dat ik niet tevreden ben met het resultaat. (klinkt het bekend?)

I scrapped a lot the last couple of weeks but I have to find the time to get the camera out and take some pics. So, be a bit patient............ I am showing one of my all time favoraite layouts here. Over the years I learned that it is important to also take pictures of 'not so nice' moments in life. So I have pictures from Joram as a crying baby, pictures of him in the hospital when his tonsils & adenoids were taken out (I must admit: I would have loved to take some pics in the OR) and aslo pictures from Joram with chickenpocks. There were everywhere. There was one little spot around his belly button that was clear from the pocks. I told him that was because I was always kissing him there. He is still talking about that!

Recepten
In a previous post (click here) I already wrote about Lisa and her recipes. At that time I did not talk about her recipe box. The box belonged to her mom and was packed with recipes. And if I say packed: I mean packed. Though she was able to pick out a recipe in one shot. The box contained recipes that were more than 40 yo. There are paper clippings in there that almost fall apart. A gorgeous collection that should be kept forever. This past week I spend two nights scanning those recipes. A heck of a job, in which I found a lot of nice recipes but also lots of emotions. I will never eat cookies or cakes from her again...... Well, at least not in this life time. To make it a little less harsh: We can still enjoy her recipes. In the last couple of years I put quite a few of her recipes into my recipe box. Lisa, we won't forget you!

7 jaar!
Gisteren is Joram zeven jaar geworden! Een jongetje wat heel snel groot wordt. Hij wilde heel graag een knutselfeestje geven en heeft met zorg uitgekozen wie er uitgenodigd mocht worden. Uiteindelijk kregen acht meiden een uitnodiging! In al die jaren is er een keertje een jongen geweest en dat was meer omdat wij er op aangedrongen hadden. Dat doen we dus niet meer; hij mag helemaal zelf bepalen wie er komen. Joram speelt over het algemeen het liefst met meisjes, ik denk dat ik niet eens zou weten hoe ik een feestje met jongens moet entertainen. Joram was al om half vijf wakker en kon niet wachten tot de taart en de kadootjes kwamen. Hij is nog nooit zo zenuwachtig geweest! Om zeven uur gebeurde het dan eindelijk, een heerlijke chocoladetaart met zeven kaarsjes en een Nintendo DS. Joram was helemaal buiten adem toen hij het uit had gepakt.
Opa en oma, Oom Gerben en tante Karin & de kids kwamen en om 14.00 uur begon zijn feestje. Langzaam druppelden de dames binnen en natuurlijk begonnen we met kadootjes, taart en drinken. Daarna werd er heerlijk geknutseld, weer lekkers gegeten en uiteindelijk mocht iedereen met een tasje vol met knutselwerkjes en lekkers naar huis! Joram heeft een heerlijke dag gehad.
Joram turned seven yesterday! A boy that grows big very quickly. He wanted to throw a crafts party and carefully gave out the invitations. At the end eught girls got an invite. In all those years there's one party which a boy was invited to, and that was more because we pushed it. We stopped doing that; he's the one who decides who's coming. Joram just loves to play with girls. I don't even think I would know how to entertain a room full with boys..... Joram woke up at 4.30 and could not wait for the cake and the presents. He has never been so nervous before. At seven it finally happened and his chocolate mud cake and a Nintendo DS were brought in. He was totally out of breath after unpacking his gift!
Opa, Oma, aunt Karin, uncle Gerben and thek ids came over and at two his party started. Slowly all the ladies came in and afcourse we started with presents, cake and drinks. Then everybody enjoyed the crafts and at the end everybody went home with a goodie bagg full of crafts and candy. Joram had a blast today!
