Just a quick

I know it has been ages….

And I’m sorry.

Life just passes by without too much to write about.

Christmas and New Year passed by in the company of lovely family and friends.
It was the first time we stayed in France.

Our oldest son turned eight last week.
He had a great birthday.
Since then he keeps saying:  “O yeah….I remember.  That happened when I was seven….”
Like it was ages ago.

We visited Paris a couple of times. Sometimes with the boys. Other times we hop in the train after bringing them to school. On one of these occasions we saw a great art- exhibition in ‘ le grand palais’.

It was our first art- exhibition ever but we enjoyed it both very much.

And then….
There’s not much left to say for today.

But:

Did you know the Dutch are very complicated?
We live not in Dutchland (like somebody said to me once) but the Netherlands. Although most foreigners call our country Holland. But then we speak Dutch and we our nationality is Dutch.

It makes it hard to explain, cause we don’t even understand why.

And then:
Did you know there is a American expression that says: “Let’s go Dutch”
It means you both pay for your own meal…

Quite funny!
