Life in the Netherlands!!!

When we arrived in Holland after our trip in Ouganda, we thought about getting our own place... A sort of base from which we could be able to fly from and come back to but also where we will be able to receive our friends and family members.... Well 3 weeks ago we got to move in! Thanks to Ferdi and some of his dutch friends who have worked very hard to get it ready. Maelle and I love it! We still live out of our boxes but there is nothing like having our own place.


The beauty to live in Gouda is that you are able to get exposed to another lifestyle... check out Maelle being all country

There is a huge playground only at few steps away from our place...
Maelle split open her head after bumping it on a shelf in IKEA... It needed to be glued... so we rushed to the hospital :-(

Up to today Maelle keeps on saying "nice!!!" and point to her "flower" and "butterfly"even though they have been long gone and have been replaced by a bandage:-P

Potty training Maelle... long story
