Happy New Year

2012 has arrived and we are facing more and more cuts in child support allowances for day care etc.. It doesn't look too good but we still seem to manage, we'll probably have to cut our spending a bit. We spent the old and new year celebration at home this time. Nils and Wende were woken up by us half an hour before midnight and Nils had a bit trouble waking up at first but when fireworks were mentioned he veered up and quickly changed into his clothes. Last month we went to the circus which was a gift from Lisette's parents for their wedding anniversary. It was a very long performance but not too long.. Nils and Wende and even Ingmar loved it. Ingmar was constantly talking about this clown that spilled water and Nils was so enthousiastic that he jumped up and down his seat. Wende loved the horses bit ofcourse... At christmas day we went to Lisette's parents and afterwards to my dad who cooked a couple of Indonesian dishes. My dad did a great job there, it tasted fantastic!
Here are some movies of the circus.: Click here

We also went ice skating at our friends from Duiven Leonie, Marc and Danne; click here
So now is january first and I've been working already, laying a new floor in the attick. Had a few problems there for the ends do not match up nicely (cheap IKea floor). Cut myself slightly with a knife and it is still far from finished.. I've even discovered that there are 5 or 6 planks that have the groove the other way around?? Never seen that before..
