The Van Den Brouwerstras

Note Tessa's expression upon seeing that Nathan pulled off a Tulip Petal!

About to take off!
On the run, without that annoying hat!

These are pictures of the kids in all of their dutchness. Nathan was more interested in running around than posing, but we got a few good ones of him. Tessa loved being dressed up and posed beautifully!

Go Figure

Last weekend we had wonderful friends over for Tulip Time. I thought that I had the house reasonably clean. I don't claim perfection, but it looked pretty good. I must have dusted in poor lighting because today I went in the guest bedroom armed with a feather duster to check for cob webs and wouldn't you know that I found some of the biggest ones in the history of man kind! I am surprised our guests didn't ask for dusting supplies and/or offer to hire us a maid. Sorry Van Burens!
