This is a place for all our friends and family to keep up to date on what we do as a family... to follow us on our vacations or to get updates on Kaya's figureskating or whatever we want to share.... So i suggest you sit back and enjoy the ride... LOL
for friends and family around the world So i created a blog : I guess i want to start writing about what we do as a family and then maybe this is the place where i can start writing my journals when we are on vacation.
That way everyone can read what we've been up to, and get ideas on what to do if they should go to the same place.
This blog will mostly be in English, since i have so many English speaking friends.

Almost there....
Kaya had her last day of exams today... also it is almost the end of the schoolyear.... And they celebrated that in the school chapel with a mass.... as a member of the parent comittee i was invited to join the celebration. It was a really fun and wonderful celebration, the children had prepared notes to read and it was all very much just great to be a part of it all.
After mass, the 6th graders were asked to stand up, the principal thanked them all for their efforts over the last years and specifically for the last 2 years as they have been helping out the younger ones with reading and other things. She wished them well on their journey to middle school... They are graduating from elementary school next tuesday and today they were honored by the rest of the school with a huge applause...
And to end the celebrations, everyone who has a birthday in June, July or August was called to the front, the kids sang happy birthday and we all got a little treat....
After that i didn't want to go home since i would have to return to the school within the hour to pick up Kaya, so i just stayed in town and enjoyed the good weather and went for a drink while i waited till it was time to go.
Kaya and i went home together and had lunch at McDonalds and then went groceryshopping.... She was happy that she no longer had any homework to do and that she could just relax and enjoy the sunny weather.
Tonight i have been browsing the websites of the museums in London, to check out their openingtimes and ticket prices. Turns out most of them are free of charge... good deal if you ask me ! 27 days to go... not that i'm counting... LOL... it's just sooo much fun to get organised and looking at the websites of where we want to go makes me wanna help time go by...

Feeling a bit under the weather...
Like the title of this post says it... i'm feeling a bit under the weather.... and the weather does have something to do with it.... it's been quite cold and windy the last few days...
It's like summer is never going to start... what happened to the sunny month of June like i always have known it... if we had to study the weather was gorgeous and warm.... Not now...
So i have been sniffing all weekend... and while Kaya was studying for her last 3 days of exams in school, just stayed put on the couch... and watched several movies with Kaya after she finished with the studying....
I sure hope the weather is going to improve the way i heard it on the news... it's supposed to get warmer during the coming week... Fingers crossed for that !!
Meanwhile, i'm also trying to get organised for our trip to London next month... the countdown is on... 30 days from now we will be leaving... We are all sooo looking forward to it... it's been way too long since we were last in London... almost 8 years !! Looking up what to do and what to visit... i always think of that as the best part of preparing for a trip... fun in advance !!
