Bye Bye Papa

Tuesday morning we said our goodbyes and Rob began his third tour in Afghanistan. He made it safely to his camp yesterday and is now preparing for the following 2,5 months. We miss him dearly, but we are so proud of him and can't wait to have him back home!

Before he left we had a wonderful week together as a family. Max & Papa shared a few good laughs before bedtime on Monday :-)

Rotterdam Zoo

Last Saturday we visited the Rotterdam Zoo- Blijdorp. There are train tracks that run over the zoo and Max had more fun waving at the train and going "choo choo" than actually looking at the animals. Next time we plan a family outing I think we will just picnic at the train station. It would save a lot of money!

Halloween surprises

Thanks Mimi for my halloween box! xoxo, Max

The Efteling

Saturday Rob and I took Max to the Efteling. It was his second time and he absolutely loved it! It is a theme park somewhat similar to the Magic Kindgom. They have a fairy tale forest with mushrooms that play music, a few rollercosters, and several children's rides. It was a great way to spend with the family before Rob leaves :-)

New Stroller!

I would especially like to thank KLM airlines & Liz for my new stroller! It will arrive just in time to go to the Efteling on Saturday!

Fien!

Sunday we finally got to meet our new niece, Fien! She was born 5 weeks to early (on our wedding anniversary!) and she is now 6 weeks old. She is an absolute doll, but so tiny! Fien was too young for Max to play with, but he had a great time playing with his other cousins!

Chocolate Cake!

Everyone knows that the best part of making chocolate cake is licking the spoon!
