Girls just wanna be girls!

A day of fun in Holland celebrating Nadine's going away to college...

Celebration of being GIRLS!

Oh Glorious Shopping !

Nita hard at work on Nadine's formal : ) What a mom!

Gorgeous in Pink!


Playing in downtown Eindhoven...

What a blessing friends are!

Poor cake... He shouldn't have given us so much trouble!

Correction to bed pictures...! ("I'm Still Alive" post)

Sorry Scott & Shirley...

That's not our guest bed! haha! You'd think I would have learned my left from my right by now, huh?

So just to make it clear to everyone, the canopy bed is OURS : ) and the rod-iron bed is the guest bed. But we still hope you will want to come visit!!

; )

* random fun fact *

Did you know that you can make your very own

Scratch & Sniff pictures

by painting with kool-aid?!

Kool-Aid Paint:
1 (1/4 ounce) package Kool-Aid (any flavour or colour you want to use)
1/2 tablespoon hot water
=D

I'm still alive!

I know, i know... I owe an apology to those of you who have faithfully checked my blog only to find nothing new since January!!

I'm sorry! ; )

So, let me catch you up a bit.

January was an exciting month for us because we officially became house owners. Once we signed and our mortgage began, we decided we better start thinking about buying some furniture to fill up our new house that we'll be moving into this summer... (If only we knew how expensive furniture was! We're gonna be lucky to fill up two rooms by the time we move in!! haha)

Hard at work....

So our schedules quickly became full with leafing through ads during the week and checking out different stores on the weekend. Shopping is hard work! : ) Doesn't leave much time for getting the normal house work done... And in our cramped apartment, the clutter and dirty dishes pile up fast! I'm really looking forward to all the space we will have in our new home. A whole separate room for laundry! And a kitchen with a DOUBLE sink! Ooh la la! And a bedroom large enough that we can each get out of bed on our own side... (I'm sure Dennis won't miss me fumbling over him to get up in the mornings!)

Our first purchases...

Dennis testing our couch ~ shopping for bed slats is a new experience

Our guest bed (right) ~ Our bed (left) which has a 20 WEEK delivery time!!! insane.

One of the ways we've been channeling our moving excitement lately is by throwing our energy into packing. That has a double benefit--first, we get our packing done a little earlier, and hopefully a little more orderly; and second, the clutter gets boxed up, which leaves our apartment looking better and better! It's handy that Dennis can bring home an endless supply of Chiquita boxes. Let's hope our clothes don't end up smelling like bananas...
