It's been a little crazy around here the last few days/weeks, that's why I've only shown up under the apple tree once a week or so. Mirthe turned four, we switched her school at the last minute, Anna's REALLY walking/running and we've decided to move. Yes, move, as in packing it all up and heading north. We're looking at houses in the Groningen/Drenthe provinces. We've started fixing up this house (not much, a little) to get it ready for the housing market. So life's a little busy just right now -- but I have a ton of beautiful pictures burning a hole in my hard drive, from the vacation and Mirthe's birthday -- I'll try to get them up between the chores here.

This would be a great time for Mirthe to decide that she'd like to resume her afternoon naps. Anna's sleeping three, sometimes four hours (!) in the afternoon (all that walking, you know) and if Mirthe would go down for two of those hours my life would be sooooooooooooooooo much easier.

Wishful thinking. I think I'll go to bed now and continue the dream :-)
