Netherlands Amsterdam
Holidays and happy arrival
4 September 2008
It has been a long time since writing, but finally here is a short message. All of August we are in the Netherlands as Mieke, our youngest daughter is expecting her second child. It is fantastic to see all family and some friends again.
This time however we are taking it a bit easier as we really need our holidays now. We are staying in an apartment of one of Miekes friends in Amsterdam, who is away for holidays. A real luxury. We bike through Amsterdam, walk alongside the canals and visit our kids a lot.
Baby Bram has finally arrived the 28th of August and Mart was very happy to still be in the Netherlands. His flight was due the 1st of September so he left this morning.
I postponed my own flight until the 18th to be with Mieke and baby Bram a little bit longer. Mieke and Bram are doing fantastic and Eric is a very proud father and Jonas a very sweet big brother now.
Last month has passed too quickly, but we both took more real leave this time. Due to the nice weather it was a very nice last day in the Netherlands for Mart. A real treat as the sun was shining and after visiting Mieke and her family a last time in the morning, we went to the beach with Runu and her family for the remaining of the day and had a nice dinner at a beach club.
At this moment Mart is back in Nigeria again with hopefully enough energy for the remaining 7 months over there.
I will join hem later so next message will again be from Nigeria.
For now that is it, love you
Elly and Mart
