Easter ! Egg search at Godmothers place! :blush:

Ha ha ha, I love that basket. Great outfit. :D

Thanks! And the first time she sees an actual earthworm! And no, it wasnt Jim! ;)
She is dividing her Easter treasure! All for her and nothing for us! :D

Hey, parents are cool and very handy, but :heartpumpchocolate:heartpump is scrumptious.

I love watching kids discovering new stuff. Even a slimy worm. Very cool.

Hello again! Long time not been here! I had a problem with my laptop... Sound was gone. Took my reserve-laptop and a day later he broke down! Damn! I went to buy a new desktop and had to install everything again. Everythings working perfectly again so...
A new update:
0n the 20th may Tess went into the hospital for small surgery.
How do u call it, tonsils and pollyps ?? removal... And a lot of panic when she woke up. It was a hard week with a lot of crying and not much of sleep. But now, she's a new child. She can breath freely, doesnt snore and eats better and better.... And mom and dad are happy again!

What a smile! She's cute. I'm glad she's feeling better now after the surgery.

What does "lief!" mean?

This way it means "nice/sweet " Like in , she's a sweet/nice girl. Dutch= Ze is een lief meisje! ;) But it doesn't mean she is! :D

Thanks York, her pics always make me smile. Such an adorable child. :)

I'm sure she's lief... when she gets what she wants. :haha:

Shawnee, yr welcome!

Haha Bruce, thats right! No , i cant complain. She sometimes says to mom or me thats she loves us.... Without anything in return. I wonder how long thats gonna last!? :D

I think that will increase as she gets older and appreciates how much you do for her. ;)

Except from age 12 through age 22 when nothing will be appreciated no matter what.

Beautiful pics York. She's such a sweetie :)

A less beautiful one! I gave her this to suck on ( its candy people ! ) while we went voting!

Bwahahahaaaa

Hey, is that Angela Merkel?

No , this is not permanent! ;)

No, but the picture is. You'll be able to embarrass her with it when she's a teenager. :haha:

The weather was great here! 28 to 31° celcius that is!
Vacation in about 2 weeks....

Awww....your daughter is so cute. :)

What's the blue thing in the neighbor's yard? It looks like it might be a chicken coop.

Its a pigeon thing! When he got older he couldnt take care of them anymore so he closed the doors and left it to be..... nothing! :p

You should ask him if you can use it, I'm sure the little girl would love some little chickies & duckies & wabbits & penguins & lamas & goats & & &... :lol2:

She always has such cute outfits. I love her little matching kerchief.

Wow, 3 1/2 already? She's adorable.

Here she is again! Still 3 days of work and than wer having a 3 weeks break! We will spend a week by our Belgian coast...
My sisters girl was here a coupple a days.... Funfunfun! ;)

Is that her cousin in the pictures?

Yes it is, she lives in Antwerp so we dont see her that often.
The times that she gets here, Tess really is "nuts".... A bigger girl to play with and to be an example for her...hahaha :D

Passing along the secret girl code. :haha:

Yep, and other things.... :D
Sorry bout the bad quality, forgot to turn off macro....

She is a cutie alright.

Thanks! Im often wondering how long she will be like that! :D
There are many times she just says " i love you daddy, and mommy too and....the family" Haha...
Yesterday we went to Paradisio, its kinda like a zoo. But lesser animals and more nature! My best friend and wife and twins wer there also... After a 2h15min drive we had a good time afterall...

You look pretty contented, York. :thumb:

Just for fun, I went back to look at the first pics in the thread. It starts at post #92... sadly the first lot of pics was hosted elsewhere and do not appear, but once they're attached images here, they show. In the first few pages she has her first birthday party. It's amazing to see then versus now. Human beings are fascinating creatures...

She only gets more beautiful, York, and I'm afraid you are going to have to set up contacts with modeling agencies soon, so that you can manage her career without her getting taken advantage of.

On page 7

Yep , i also checked them again about a week ago. I still have all the photo's on a cd somewhere here... I didnt know back than that i could attache them! I ve seen a documentary yesterday about parents taking their kids to modeling shows and stuff.... I was shocked! Off course when somebody would like her to do a "shoot" later, thats fine! But she gotta do what she likes ....
Yesterday i bought her a trampoline! She was wining for it...the whole week so i gave in (again) ....

That is so cute, York! :)

Thanks Shawnee! This weekend was
"suikerrock" weekend! "Sugarrock".... because of the sugarfactory it got that name 25 years ago. Lots a music and some drink and eat possibilities ...
Expensive doh , 28€ a day/ 3days... So i just went to the drinkstands and had my fun there with the bands playing in the background. Today - sunday- was kinda family-day and i went with Tess and Melissa!

Bruce, u got my PM ?
Today we went to another (smaller) zoo , closer by! But it cerainly was as good as the last one! Not many people there so we could see it al!
First one is Daddy and his girl!
The rest are Lions, white one, a white wolf, a bear....

Tess isnt really on the pictures there, that would be a bit too dangerous! :p
Next up: White Tiger, some cubs , a lynx and a ostrich.

The last ones : A nice zebra and a very satisfied little girl! :D

Absolutely awesome. you are one lucky man.

Back from our Belgian coast! Our holiday is ending! :thepain:
But, we had a good time! Typical on our coast is the weather. One day bloody hot, the next cold and rain! So we had some days on the beach and other days indoor-events... We went to Plopsaland.
I guess its not really known over there , so to give you an idea :
http://www.plopsa.be/plopsalanddepanne/en?lang=en-GB
Mom , Dad, Tess and her niece Demi went and had some fun!

And i had to attach this one too, we have one like this from the last three years! Comparing is easy that way! :D

Funny you've been to the Belgian coast (not funny for you of course) Just today I've been checking the special offers at Belgo - Belgian restaurant - for when we go to London next month. Mussels and frites and beer... Yumyum.

I keep waiting for your daughter's hair to darken!
Surely she can't stay baby blonde with those killer dark eyes?!
What a combination while it lasts though.

And I love that we're seeing her grow up.
Now Ibby's a proper man, she's our only baby :(
Wonder if she'll ever come here & join us....?!

Im not real dark, my Gf is much darker but has lighter eyes!
I was a lighthead when i was her age... (looks kinda red doh... :eek: )
:D :D But it ll change for sure! She will always be beautiful to me even with hair thats green! ;)

She is beautiful.
Not surprising given such a cute Dad! Then and now ;)

I was a baby-blonde baby, then a copper-headed pre-schooler.
Then mousey brown :(

But I discovered hair-dye at the age of 11 (!)

She'll always have her killer eyes though.

Well, did you ride Anubis? :eek:

I did and i felt really bad when i got out! Like my stomach was still at the start and the rest at the finish! Its weird actually , waiting for an hour to get on something that lasts for a coupple seconds.....
But it was fun! ;)

Ha ha ha. A friend of mine said he waited in line for almost 2 hours for Space Mountain at Disney World. By the time he listened to the recorded message not to take the ride if you have a heart condition, every 10 minutes, for the whole time in line, he thought he might develop one. :D

haha, i think i know what you mean! Everything was so crowded... About an hour waiting on all the rides! Most of the things suitable for infants wer less long... So her niece and i went on some of the others, separate or together and Mom and Tess did some of the others. Two hours before leaving we did the things we could do together! :) Btw , an hour is very long over here! The people who work in the park also said they havent had that many for a while....
But it was fun! :D

You're not fooling me, you picked the most crowded day of the year so there would be more people to show off your princess to. :lol2:

Hèhè, could be! :p But i guess there wer a lot a princes and princesses... But for me she stands out in a crowd! ( Is that correct?) Especially with her MegaMindy Cap!

Some latest pics..... Been real busy at work! For all asylumseekers that leave , we get the double back! :yelsick:
And we are redecorating our desk , now when everything is so full of things....
But here she is again :

OMG - She is SOOOOOO Precious! You are very lucky!

Hey York, did you get to see the Market Garden Tribute to the American WWII paratroopers?
That was one hell of a show, I think the Dutch are our best ally. :thumb2:

Post #355, pic one ... looks like Death, only cuter.

Cuter it is! Wwooehhahaha Reminds me of Darth Vader! :blush:
@Bruce.... the Dutch are Ok , the Belgians a bit better and more friendly! ! :D
@ Classicman , i know! ;)

Useful too. :p
