Last Week of Summer

Things are winding down for us here. We have finally been making progress on the door project. I decided to save some money and some impact on the environment by transforming our old, cheap door into something a bit nicer. Naomi has been wanting updated doors for months now, so I thought I would surprise her while she was gone for the day. Silly idea. She got home and didn't like it at all!

Oh well, I think it will grow on her. We have to finish the painting today, and hopefully the glass will be in tomorrow so we can get them installed. My friend Chris and his wife are coming on Tuesday and leaving Saturday, the girls' birthday. We invited people to come to celebrate Saturday, but some are coming Sunday.

I have to go in to school on Thursday for an orientation, but we both officially start working again on Monday, so that means tomorrow is our last vacation day to ourselves. We could use another month or two! It hasn't been as relaxing as I had hoped. We have been busy.

We had a really nice day in Utrecht on Wednesday. Had to bring the new car in again to get fixed. Spent the afternoon in the city. Trains, paddleboat rides and ice cream. What could be better?!


Work in progress.

Lunch with friends - the twin boys from town.


Perfect lunch spot at the train station.

Through the tunnel...

...and out the other side.
Naptime.

Kind of hard to paddle.

The tower.

Naptime, part two.
