Yesterday was the first warm day of the year. Even when I first stepped outside and it was still cold, I caught a whiff of summer in the air. The timing worked out perfectly as it was the day we had scheduled to launch some soda bottle rockets at school. No jackets needed - the kids had a lot of fun outside. The launcher I put together out of some spare parts from the garage didn't work so well though. It got the job done, eventually, most of them time, but was rather leaky.
Next week we both have a second interview at the school in Apeldoorn, so we are rather anxious about that. Not sure what the chances are as a lot of details need to be worked out and we don't even know what the job options or the competition is like. The immigration rules could really be a problem. If the school isn't able to work things out for me, than in able to move to the East Naomi needs to find a job and I might need to take a year off to apply for Dutch citizenship. Or we might just end up in Rotterdam for another year.
Both babies have a bit of a cold right now. Abigail has started to lift herself upright onto things though, so we need to get the cribs lowered. Amélie really starts to combine different syllables to make sounds. She will be quite the talker before too long. Abigail won't have much to say - actions speak louder than words as far as she is concerned.
