Hello again! Some time ago, but now holiday started! But it didnt start very well. The weather is great and hot, the pool is ready outside , but Tess has the ...??? euh ...smallpocks?
Al small red dots and they burst open after a coupple days and itch a lot! She cant go out in the sun.... So , been boring here the last days....
Last week there was some carneval here and she enjoyed it!

Wow - I just went back to the beginning of this thread...

Damn they grow so fast, don't they?

Yep, it seems like yesterday! When she asks me to pick her up , i also notice the difference! Been thrue al the typical things!
But love it! :D :D :D :D :D

Wow, look at all the hair you still had. :lol2:

Chickenpox I think, York.
Smallpox is pretty much eradicated in Europe.

Horrible for her, but probably best to get it out of the way so young.

She's lucky to have Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma.
My neice is 15 now and still has Great Grandad (not sure on the other side, I don't think so though). I think it's lovely that children get to interact with the older generation more now that people are living longer.

Then again, in the past families all lived together, so the time they had was more intense.
Sorry - just musing.

Tess is so gorgeous. I love seeing her grow up. And reading about your lives on the Continent - so near and yet so different.

So is she in school? Part time? Full time?
Here she would be starting in Year 1 in September, having had an (optional) couple of months in Reception, following her birthday.

What I love is how you can recognize her features even in that first baby picture. There's no doubt that's baby Tess!

She's getting so grown-up looking. Shades of the beautiful young lady she will be. :)

Haha @Bruce..... "All the hair" seems reaaaaally long ago! Before i was thinking about kids.....! :D
@Sundae Girl : She's a lot better now, just a minor spots still gotta burst! ;) yep , she's lucky to have them! My mother doesnt ask about her, in fact i havent heard from her for months now!
But i still think its so sad my dad isnt here anymore! :( I guess thats life, some people have much wurst things to deal with!
Nowadays people dont spend enough time with eachother... In general that is!
Yep, she is going to her third schoolyear already! Kindergarten that is!
She goes all day, everyday... ;)
She now wants me write her name in her fav color : TESS ( sitting on my lap )
@Clodfobble : yep thats cool! I will always notice when she gets swapped.... :p:
@Shawnee, yep...so right! I start seeing the feminin things she does.... haha i hope she doesnt grow too fast! :blush:

hello Again! Today is the last day of my vacation! I was home 3 weeks but the first week was waisted because of the chickenpox. She still got some on her feet.... :( But we tried to make the best of it. We went to Zeeland, in Holland. A real kids vacation! ;-)
Monday we wet to the zoo and thursday to " De efteling" in Holland.
A very nice theme-parc for kids and grown-ups!
