Claire was a big help in getting us situated here and it was fun that she got to see a bit of our new town. On Friday I discovered around 25,000 acres of land that belongs to the Crown just a couple kilometers outside the village. It is like a big national park. Lots of nice trails for walking and biking. Even a few ancient burial mounds. The castle and windmill in town look really nice too!
The girls are adjusting really well. They have been a bit fussier, demanding more attention, and scared of a few things (like a leaf blower - they were shaking with terror even though they were inside) but for the most part we don't see much of a change with them. Happy as ever. Good thing they have each other! The lady at daycare was most impressed by them. She said it was as if they had already been there for months.
Yesterday we did some shopping downtown. So much nicer than Goor! Except for the bakery. We will miss that. Even found some new shoes for the girls. They played on the slide while we found some. The salesman even gave us a nice price because we had twins.
Being able to bike to work sure has been a treat! I discovered a really nice dedicated bike path that goes directly from Vaassen to Apeldoorn. Over 5 km without really seeing a car. Quite the contrast to being stuck in rush hour traffic on the highway!

So happy for you that the move is going so well and you are all pleased. Lovely to see the girls.
