We go downtown!
Early this morning,
while Mom and Dad went to get Baby sister,
we went to see the flowers,
Listen to some dutch street pipe organ music...
Go to the Dutch candy Shop
to get some authentic 'Drop',
Dutch Licorice.
and have some fun with Tia Valita,
(that's how my niece calls me!)
and these are my 20 dutch Klosjes to report from this week
~~~~~~~~
and just as I am writing these last words, a little text message:
Baby is here!
:)
Thanks be to God,
Thank you for being here with me...

Congratulations, Valentina -- what a happy day for you and your family! I've enjoyed your wonderful photos -- now Holland has been bumped up to the top of my list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you -- sewing at every little opportunity.
That's wonderful news! I love being an Aunt, don't you? It's a special relationship you can have with no other kids and so very special. Thank you for all the photos, it looks like a lovely place for a morning walk.
ReplyDeleteGefeliciteerd met de geboorte van je nichtje. Fijn dat alles goed is gegaan. Wanneer kunnen we de eerste foto's verwachten? We hebben allemaal met je zus en zwager meegeleefd en delen nu ook een beetje in hun vreugde.
ReplyDeleteWens ze proficiat.
Gefeliciteerd!!! I hope all is well with mum & the baby (& daddy!).
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Dutch pictures so much, I sometimes do miss my homecountry. But what a good thing that that dropjesstore is not around MY corner ;-)
Your flowers are, as always, beautiful too. Did you already have red ones, or is this the Dutch touch?
Take care Valentina and see U soon I hope
(PS will be in Lefkosia until 5.7, so let me know when you're in town!)
OH SUCH WONDERFUL NEWS ! HEARTFUL CONGRATULATIONS ! I'm so happy for you all ;>)
ReplyDeleteThanks also for these gorgeous pictures (I'm salivating seeing those liquorice candies)... and well done with your cute klosjes (still busy cutting and cutting them, before leaving. I won't stop til grand total reaches 600)...
BIG BEAR (((HUGS)))
