The weather is getting better to. Nice and sunny so time for a picknick with the girls. Merel loves that. Eating sandwiches on the grass and picking flowers.
She wanted to take our picture. So here the result. A future photographer at work.
On Saturday the new daycare center Snoopy was opened. It's the
center where her friend Rick allready stays and Summer wil be going there in
Septembre.
They had a big bouncy cushion and lots of candy and icecream. Merel was in
heaven.
I am trying to set up a help line for parents who just had there baby. A way for new parents to make contact with parents who allready been there.
This site draws a lot of attention and I see that there's a need
for something like this.
We allready met a lot of new parents and I really enjoy being there for them in
the first weeks. A bit of support and help in that difficult and dark Downforest.
Thats what we did with little Manon, Summers newest friend.

In the past two weeks Summer gained a new friend again. We went
out to meet Jordan and her family. Jordan is 10 weeks old now and has a
heartproblem. She will get surgery in the near future.
It feels good to give support to others. Now, almost a year since Summer's
birth, I think back every now and then. And looking back you know how you really
needed that support. When I read back what has happened through that year the
emotions of the moment are back.
And you notice how strong a human being can be. If you have a positive attitude
you can cope with a lot. Although it draws energy. Sometimes you feel so tired.

Hurrah.
So we went in to training to learn Summer that. And in 2 days she understood.
Her hands rise up and her little thumbs go into her ears when we say Hip Hip.
