A nice long Pinksteren weekend

We had a really nice long weekend celebrating and having fun (it was Pinksteren / Pentecost).  For once, the weather aligned to give us glorious weather. We had fun sitting in our garden with friends, doing some gardening, and had a nice shrimp grill-up. Overall, we just enjoyed chilling out. […]

Rob’s 50th Birthday (extended)

Rob’s birthday on 1 May has been a series of small celebrations throughout the month. Today his assistant and friend Debby and her husband Richard came by with their kids to give him a very kind gift of one of his favourite meals — Surinamese roti. I got to enjoy […]

Jansen & Jane (4 months)

Jane and Jansen are really doing great and are so much fun. We really have some nice weather now, and Jane is busy with everything outside with Jansen. She really has a very determined personality, and want’s to do exactly what she want’s to do. While she is doing that […]

Jansen & Jane (11 weeks)

We are really having fun with Jansen and Jane. They play beautifully together and also snuggle up really nice together. Our friend Barb brought over some rubber “kippen” (chickens) that were quite the hit with them. I tried to get them in a photo together, but my camera is a […]

Welcome Home Rob and Jane

We are celebrating the coming home of Rob after 2 months of physical rehabilitation. After a lot of physical therapy at home, Rob decided that it would help him most to do another round at a clinic. He has been going 4 days/nights a week since mid-January. It’s been a […]
