Happy New Year: 2008
I've not updated this site for the longest while .... I'll do my best to upload some photo's of Hannah's 5th birthday etc.
6 months since we moved back to Eindhoven
Today it is six months ago when we moved back to Eindhoven. Our live changed a lot: Hannah went to a new school, Luke got a new job and Fran started studying and working in daycare ! So we are quite a busy bunch right now.
Time flies, specially the last few weeks but we are moving in a positive direction at least. Funny, I'm typing this and looking out of the window I see a flock of geese in V shape formation flying by :-D
Photos of Bleeker Refractometer added
Harrie Weitering sent me a few photos of his newly acquired Bleeker Refractometer. Click here for more info.
Francine's 33rd birthday
See here for all the photos. We had a good time, Fran put many hours of preparation in the food. The apricot trifle with mascerpone was delicious.
