The past week was a busy one at school. I had report meetings, which means the group of teachers discusses each student before the parents come to meet with the 'homeroom teacher' about their child's progress. This takes awhile when you have 200 students. Next week should be more relaxed though.
Now we are at the cottage and the weather is beautiful. Sometimes it is easy to forget we are living in Europe. Yesterday we reminded ourselves. We went to Deventer, a city about 20 minutes from here, for lunch. We sat outside in the sun on a big, crowded market square. 500 year old buildings surrounded us. A portable Gypsy-like organ serenaded us as it slowly meandered through the crowd. Even the food was delicious. Jackets weren't needed and the first minor sunburn of the year appeared.
We ordered a couch as well. The living room is not complete without one. We got a deal at an 'American' bulk couch store. They had a big sale on and we ended up getting our first pick for a price that was less than the other options. It might take awhile to get here, but it will be worth the wait!
Today we will do a bit of mountain biking...staying clear of the more difficult trails as Naomi's joints are all coming unglued. She grows bigger every day...
