Babysitting

Yesterday we had our grandparentsday with Beau and Jan. . Beau received her winterclothes that her mother had ordered for her and inspite of the warmth she had to put them on. Jan had that special smile on his face, normally he smiles that way just before he pulls of your glasses or pull your hair.

Janet and Ann Graham Johnstone




























My greatest treasure I bought a couple of years ago in an old bookstore. Dean.s giftbook of nursery rhymes with drawings of Janet and Graham Johnstone. Still I.m addicted to old childrenbooks and I like to visit fleamarkets to find new treasures.

Diner at the beach


After taking care of our grandson for two days we treated ourselves with a diner at the beach. It seems the wetter is not so nice, but the temperature was fine for me.

Staying the night at my grandparents house





















My moms and dads holiday is over now and they had to work again. Grandma Carla and Grandpa Barend are looking after me for two days and yes that.s like a party. I can stay up late, eat everything I like, pull the cats tail and with my weth cookie I make everything dirty. And when I pretend to cry they take me on their arm en kiss me, brrrrrrrrrrrrr







Very bad influenze

The Rwandan Children's Choir





A young and vibrant group telling the story of Rwanda in traditional Music and Dance.






Rwanda has overcome incredible challenges to be where it is today. Now 24 children are traveling the world telling this story.The Rwandan Children’s choir is made up 24 very talented children ages 9-12 . Most of the children in the choir are orphans. Some come from homes devastated by HIV/AIDS. The choir presentations are a great source of healing and encouragement for the children. The children perform in churches, schools, and other public places raising awareness about the issues that Rwanda has faced and how it is working towards bringing unity, healing, and prosperity after the 1994 genocide that claimed more than one million people.






Join this group at Facebook and also join Africa Mission Alliance at Facebook


At YOUTUBE you can also visit a small film of the choir
