I've been so terrible about updating the kids' blog lately. Well, I guess being as busy as I've been is a good enough excuse, but here are some long awaited photos and updates about our little boys.
One of Jonas's highlights of our trip home to Visalia was getting to spend an afternoon with is buddy , Caden. It was so great watching them run around and play together. Plus, its so wonderful when your kids make friend with other kids who are just great little people! Caden is such a bright, kind and super-fun little boy, and I'm really grateful that Jonas has a friend in him.
When we arrived back to Belgium, the boys had PLENTY of snow in the backyard to keep them busy. Snow is such good, clean fun! We even made ice cream out of it, which was REALLY fun! I got the recipe out of a great book I have. Basically you just make layers of clean, fresh snow and sugar, then pour fresh cream over the top, stir and eat immediately. The snow ice cream tasted surprisingly yummy and REALLY fun to make!
And in VERY BIG news, Simon finally lost his first tooth!!!! Shortly after putting our little guy to bed last night, we heard his little, excited feet running down the stairs. He was so happy that it had finally come out, and he was even more excited when he woke up this morning to some shiny coins from the tooth fairy!I can't express enough how much I enjoy my two boys. They are such a gift to Roel and I, and I'm not surprised in the least at how spunky, silly and wild they are since Roel and I are both pretty spunky and silly (as for wild, well, I think that time has passed;-)
