I have the MOST GORGEOUS husband in the world .. After a number of years of harassment mark (Marts friend) finally persuaded my man to shave his head! I must admit I was sitting there white knuckled wandering if he would end up looking like the local skin head but I was pleasantly surprised when he my man looked pretty hunkish! Have you seen the series prison break? Well if not google it and check out the character Michael Scoffield .. Mart looks hotter than him ;-)
But let me assure you that this expedition into new coiffure did not happen sober - Mart needed some Dutch courage and he won’t admit it but he was pretty damn nervous before the moment – we were witness to a few trips to the men’s room hahaha
Scott still needs to get used to his Daddy’s new look but I’m a fan … Step back Danny and step back Mark – My man is da bomb
T
he weather in Holland is weird. It’s not the maritime position of the country or the fact that its low lying – its just weird. During the height of summer we had rain ALL the time. Then now at the beginning of autumn we are experiencing the most delightful weather, warm, warm, warm. Last night we even managed to eat outside and stay out till past 10pm … Taking advantage of the sunshine we went for a walk along the IJmeer yesterday - the sun was hot and there was a lovely breeze off the water and all in all a very pleasant outing. Scott was strapped into the baby bjorn and enjoyed the wind in his face and the little legs were kicking away merrily. When we got home after about an hour I put Scott in his highchair and started preparing dinner. One moment my baby was chatting and the next I turned round and saw him slumped over in his chair – fast asleep clutching his little hippo!! I have never seen anything this precious; my heart just breaks looking at the photo. Thank you Scott for providing these wonderful memories, which we will treasure forever!
The last few weeks has seen an influx of visitors at the new house on IJburg (I know I've said I'll be posting pictures and they will be forthcoming soon .. I promise ;-), it's been very gezellig and Scott has received inordinate amounts of attention from his ‘girl’friends. Yesterday Elzelien and Roosje came by for a visit and we mommies spent a delightful afternoon chatting and bragging about our offspring – but look at the beauties – who can blame us hahaha Rosalie has grown so much and is becoming a real little model and Scott .. Well he is just adorable and continues to charm even the youngest ladies :) Its really so funny seeing them 'talk' and my son tries to grab and bite Roosje all the time - we better watch out that this behaviour does not continue into puberty hahaha the little darling Rose is now full on smiling and dazzling us with her gorgeous blue eyes.. Elzelien and I agree that life is good and that our children are great ... being a Mom ROCKS!!
1 September 2006 Danny & Suzanne are married! CONGRATULATIONS and hip hip hooray!!
I can still remember perfectly the day last september when Suzanne called me crying and laughing and screaming that Danny had proposed and that she was getting married - I was standing on the balcony at the Bolestein and being pregnant and highly hormonal I just started crying with happiness! Not much different actually to the actual wedding day when in the town hall of Bloemendaal I had to wipe away the tears when Danny and Suuz said "I do" and tied the knot. It was so special being able to celebrate this truly lovely day with our friends!
As you can see from the photos the bridal couple looked stunning and the Dutch weather even cooperated, after a few good luck raindrops in th emorning the sun shone for most of the day. Suzie's dress was just gorgeous and Danny looked so dapper in his 3-piece suit and perfectly knotted tie. The theme of their day was 'on the beach' and Suzie's dress was the perfect colour of sea!
We started the with snackies at Danny's mom and then drove to the town hall for the ceremony; we then made our way to the beach at Zandvoort for champagne and cake which was delish! we hung outa bit, chatting to the bride and groom and getting to know the rest o fthe guests and then we had a BBQ dinner and i can assure you it was gorgeous! Surf & Turf and all sorts of 'lekker' things were enjoyed and of course this all on the beach... absolutely lovely.
At 8 pm the PARTY started - we were treated to a live bossa nova band where the singer mesmerised us with her sensual voice and the drums took my breath away; I am rather chuffed as well that my freind Danny honoured me by having one of the first dances with me .. thank you Dan - that was my cherry on the top for the day :-). After the live music the DJ spun some tunes that got us all, including Martijn, dancing. Oh we were also treated to some rather nifty dance moves from Harry, Danny's brother, who a later found out is a dancing star hahaha quite a treat indeed.
Thank you sexy Suuz and Danny Dan for having us at your special day and as we wrote in our card we wish you both all the love, joy and adventure that comes with marriage - be good to each other and keep the fun alive. We are always here for you and we love you LOTS!
While at Danny and Suuz' wedding I couldn't help thinking back to our wedding day and marvelling at how much I love and appreciate Martijn. While standing in the town hall I realised that I would do it all over again - I felt Mart's hand on my waist and felt a small kiss on my ear as the notary pronounced Dan and suuz man and wife and inside I shone.Later in the day I dragged poor Maarten, a friend of the bridal coouple onto the beach to take some photos of my husband and I :o) ... what is it about wedding that make us so sappy, warm and fuzzy?
