Holidays in NH

For the first time ever we decided to go to US for our x-mas break. After a very long trip...34 hrs....we arrived in Boston and jetlag hit hit us hard. Man...we have never had it this bad....took us about 5 days to adjust.....not fun.
But it is nice to be here with Sue's family and to enjoy the little ones....Ava and Mya and......the snow !!

Ayla in Gymnastics

Just before we went on holiday Ayla had a gymnastics competition.

She did really well and has really improved over the past year.

Sinterklaas

Time for a few blog updates.....

It's been a few weeks ago, but Sinterklaas came to town once again in Jakarta.
On the evening of Dec 5 the kids were pleasantly surprised with a bag full of gifts and a nice ping pong table

Thanks Sint!

Crazy Coco

We have had a dog now for about 5-6 weeks and to be honest....things have been pretty easy with our furry monster. Yes of course we have had the occasional 'accident' in the house, but overall she has been very good and sweet. She loves to play and to cuddle and the best thing of all......?? She doesn't bark !
This is what she looks like when she eats paint and when she is wet....
HA !

ALL Star Tournament

About a week and half ago Noah was selected to play for the Jakarta U11 All Star team in a 2 day tournament here in Jakarta.
The team did really well and won the gold medal after a convincing 3-0 win over ASA Milo in the final.

Happy Birthday Noah

Noah was in Bangkok this year during his  birthday for a 2 day soccer tournament. Of course he couldn't wait to get his presents after we came back...so he got his gifts at home the day before we left for Bangkok.

Although he didn't have his party yet.... he still had a great time...doing what he loves most....playing soccer and being spoiled by his friend.... Santiago's..... mum ( Marcella) who took the boys ( Santi, Noah and Alex) to a special WAVE HOUSE in Bangkok after the tournament.... for some wet 'n wild water fun. She even got Noah a special birthday cake...so nobody really has to feel sorry for Noah for not being home for his birthday...

 

 

DD4

For the past 4 years now we have been going on a Daddy&Daughter's trip with 4 dads ( Butch, Mark, Scotty and myself) and our daughters.
This year we decided to go to Lombok and the Gili Islands for a 4 day weekend. It was another great funfilled weekend for the girls with lots of sun, water, beach, pool , good food and laughter.

Here are some of the best photos of the weekend.
