Happy Halloween!
Every year gets a bit more fun, getting used to this new tradition of bloody Halloween...
And Jasper was a real 'sweetie-scorer' this time - being the youngest of the gang he was always the very last in the row... however, cute as a button dressed up as a pumpkin (versus all the witches, dracula's and skeletons), he melted quite a few hearts ;-)

Pizza Lunch
Before we knew it there were 3 cooks in the kitchen of the restaurant... Unforgettable experience for the kids.

Jasper wants to become a pilot
Jasper kept begging our nanny Sasha: UP PLEASE, PLEASE ;-)
And later back home the story to me:
Me, pilot, push the buttons, me, mama ook, papa ook, 'Jean' ook
And Juleen wants to become a ballerina and a doctor.
All sounds good to me - as long as they are happy ;-)

Sad endings, exciting new beginnings...
And yes, we have known it for ages, but Gabrielle has decided to move back home to New-Zealand with her partner Simon. Most of you might have met her, but it suffises to say we have had a fantastic time with her.
She has been a teacher, a source of inspiration, mentor, play buddy and best friend for Juleen and Jasper. She has been there to guide, observe, help and inspire them in some of the most important steps in their lives so far, like walking, talking, potty training, cycling, reading, writing, starting school and playing musical instruments. We are very sad to see her go, but are thrilled for her that she is moving back with the best that life can give one, a Christmas baby is on its way, hurray! We will all truly miss her and have now a perfect extra excuse to make our way Down Under some time soon ;-).
