May, it is said, is the nicest month in Belgium and I have to say that we have had some really nice weather this month. So nice for a few weeks that it felt comfortable the day it rained again after three weeks of super sunny and warm (actually hot) weather. It is funny how used to the rain I have grown accustomed. Don't get me wrong I would love to live in day to day sun and wear out a pair of sandals each year instead of 6 years, but when the sun come out here for any length of time you see people looking up with confusion. I just guess they are wondering "When they will put the lid back on?"
As wonderful as May can be, one thing I do know for certain is that it most likely will not last. June could get colder followed by a gray and even colder July, which leads into an even colder yet a bit dryer August! So we are pretending it IS summer holiday every chance we can get...
Opa and Oma took the boys on the annual trip of Dirk's patients last weekend. The boys are quite the celebrities there and love to go almost as much as Oma and Opa love to take them.
Kai is still racing around on his 'loopfiets' pedals-less bicycle. Unfortunately, he did ask the other day for pedals! Sadly, the time has come I guess and I will be very sad to see him change. He now goes EVERYWHERE with his bike, to the shop, to the park, to friends, etc.
Kai and Julie are beginning to get along like brother and sister, so now they not only look the part but act the part. It is such a unique relationship they have as cousins, sharing a garden.
Finally, we have been working hard to organize our studio even more. We have added a floating metal table in the middle, where Pieter works and a library and workspace in the back where I work.
