merry christmas

swans, stamps and a rainbow

1. We wrote letters to thank people and to wish them a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2. Jonas decorated the wrapping paper with stamps and drawings.

3. A few days ago JJ woke me up and told me to look out the window.
This rainbow is what I saw.

Jonas is been very sweet for his brother untill now.

He likes to cuddle him, he's worried when Matteo cries,

he likes to help me take care for the baby.

for matteo

My sweet Matteo. One week old, and so loved already. 💙

waiting for my baby boy

The last weeks were very tiring. Full time working, being mum and
being in your last month of pregnancy isn't the best combination.
Tuesday was my last day at school. My students bought me flowers
and chocolates.
Now I'm busy finishing the last things that need to be ready when the baby
comes. In between I rest as much as possible.
I can't wait to hold that little baby boy in my arms!

Last weekend we spent two days in Zeebrugge. Saturday we were 

visiting the Farther Bruin team who was working on the boat. 

The boat looks like new after 8 months of work. Almost ready to go 

back into the water!

A year later, an other place; Jonas name, made by his godmother,
in a beautiful deserted landscape. What a birthday gift!

Jonas turned two today. He was so happy with his visitors, the presents
and his pancakes!

before

I have been out for a long time... 

First there was no time because of the wedding preparations,

then no time because of the "clean up" and 

last week too busy with the start of the new school year.

But I'm really happy to be back, I missed blogging so much!
