Living room – with cabinets :)
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Renovations
And here it is, our finished living room (okay, there is nothing in the cabinets yet, but there will be soon :D)
All that is left now to take downstairs is Tyrgens baby box and put down the rug. And of course make sure the television connection works ;)
Living room update
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Renovations
Yay, I got the dvd cabinets and the sofa downstairs (thank you mom) and those are set up. The cabinets will be done this evening :D
The plants have been moved too (they’ll enjoy the light after having a ‘dusky’ room at best since February :D )
After that, we need to check the tv-signal and internet signal and we can move the tv downstairs!
As soon as everything is downstairs, I’ll post more pictures of the cleaned up space and the still slightly in progress kitchen :)
Breaking down the pond
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Garden
It’s not an easy task….
People got wet, people sat down in the pond… It was ugly, but it had to be done…
After a few hours of hard work, all the ‘greens’ were put aside on top of what used to be the swimming pool to dry out before getting kicked off the property.
A bit after that, I decided the wall surround the ‘formerly known as pond’ area needed to go :)
Remodeling update!
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Renovations
With many thanks to my daddy with shitloads of skills, we now have a sitting room downstairs that no longer has disheveled walls!!
Just to remind you, this was the original setup:
This was just after tearing down the non-functional fireplace:
All that is now left to do for me: get the cabinets set up (yep, I’ll be assembling those!) and get the sofa down here and wash the covers of that one. Then put in the rug and wait for electricity and internet connections to be able to drag the tv and dvdplayer down here too :)

6 months!
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Tyrgen
My baby boy has reached 6 months :)
He’s a smiler, only slightly unhappy when he wants to be fed (well, who wouldn’t be unhappy then!) and an eager little learner.
He is trying to sit alone now, 
and he walks around in his little cart being a menace to anything at knee-height :D
Lentefeest!
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Thorial
Thorial had a fun weekend celebrating his ‘Lentefeest’.
First we went out for a fancy lunch.
He got loads of gifts and cards.
And played around with little friends in an indoor plaground :)
And then we went for a BBQ in the evening!
On Sunday there was the ceremony.
And another little party (pasta!)
Sadly, on Sunday evening he decided he needed to climb grandma’s tree and take a little drop climbing back down, so I ended up soothing our boy since he has a bit of a bruised shoulder from his tumble :(
He’s growing up so fast!
Belated Mothers Day gift
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Hobby, Reading
Yay!
I got a belated Mothers Day gift and I love it! I can’t wait to fill it up with loads and loads of books!
However, this does not mean my love for the paper book is diminished, rather that it’s too heavy to drag around 4 books all the time just ‘to have something to read should I have a few minutes to spare’
Dance lesson
Posted by Annelies | Filed under Thorial
Thorial always seems to be dancing and singing along with music, so we decided when there was a free tryout at the local dance school to go there with him and see how he would like it.
This is him trying moves:
And a small video:
He seems to love it a lot, although standing still long enough to hear the explanations is asking too much still :D
Eating solid foods

Daddy coaxing the little one into eating
This can be sooooooooooo tiring….
What is this you are trying to give me? It doesn’t matter, I’ll eat it anyway, if you can get the spoon back ;)
