mayratalk
Mayra has started babbling her own language. It mostly consists of “gheeghee, googoo, ghaaaaa” at the moment, and she tells us her stories with a very serious and convinced look in her eyes. So cute. It’ll be interesting to see how she will cope with the trilinguality (is that a…

Mayra, Nicolette and I went for a walk in Rinshi-no-mori Koen, our local park, where we spotted some sakura trees (cherry blossoms) blooming early. It’s still cold, but spring is upon us!

Manuel and I wish you a positive, healthy and green 2009.
It’s the year of the cow, and it’s going to be an exciting one!

Paper or Cotton?
... Though the question also applies to baby nappies, this one is about the fact that we just had our 1-year wedding anniversary! How time flies.
