august in december

It was on my to-go-list for such a long time, but today we actually experienced "Villa August" in december. It was a grey and cold winterday, but it felt warm and bright being there. Sharing our visit at Villa Augustus with lovely friends and all our kids. Knowing we will visit it on a sunny day (perhaps in august) some time.

PS. the neon pink christmas decoration fish left at the top of the tree (at picture nine) has moved to our X-MAS tree in Zutphen as a sweet souvenir :)

* let it snow on for the love of megan

Wishing you a weekend filled with inspiration!

b-day blessings

A busy week, actually too busy and most of all with lots of mixed emotions, but nevertheless, or perhaps because of that, a great week, like:
* Sam singing at the Muzehof on tuesday recorded by Floor also recording himself singing along and Pip warning him :)
* Sam performing at 'Mighty Mathilda' with school at the Hanzehof on friday and saturday evening. It was such a great performance shared with my loved ones on friday. For Sam it meant ending one and a half year practising with fellow students, which was quite emotional; and
* yesterday celebrating Floor's seventh birthday together with lovely presents but most of all lovely people. While going to sleep he said it was his most wonderful birthday ever :)

Have a nice week, perhaps enjoying celebrating 'Sinterklaas' on 5 December!
