Today...we celebrate!

Liberty Day, bevrijdingsdag!
We celebrate life, we celebrate freedom!











.

Yesterday, may 4th, the day we remember

the people who gave their life during World War II. The day we remember all the pain this war caused. The day we remember them who died after WW II, who made a sacrifice.
We remember 9/11, Iraque, Afghanistan, Apeldoorn.......we remember them all.
Two minutes of silence. Two minutes....to remember.

Spring, remember, celebrating

Spring is finally showing its flowers. How I enjoy spending time in the garden with a nice cup of tea. The garden isn't finished yet but we are allmost there.
This week we all enjoy spring break. Relaxing, visiting fun places with the children and some more relaxing...My husbands aunt and Britt's godmother celebrated her birthday. She wanted a special day for the children and we visited "Toverland"(Magic Land). The smiles on their faces, their sparkling eyes.....it was a day to remember. And we will through all the pictures that were taken.
pictures later today
