Today, Marcus had his first birthday. I remember when we brought him home. He was so small he could lay on my chest and shoulder and I could still work on my laptop. 160 Since then, he’s grown so much. He’s gone from sleeping all the time… 108 … to rolling over… 298 … to [...]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Marcus, Christine and Jon 484
It’s been a while since we’ve posted. We’ve been busy. Jeff and Staci moved to Amsterdam, GG came to visit for most of September. All in all it’s been fun stuff. Except for when our camera decided it didn’t want to take pictures anymore. After 6 years, our digital camera died. We just recently replaced [...]
I got a new MacBook Pro a couple weeks ago and I decided to play with Photo Booth a bit. This picture is of Marcus sleeping on his stomach for the first time. He was playing and rolled over and just fell asleep. 260 This picture is just the standard “playing with the funny settings” [...]

My brother-in-law (Diederik) convinced the 3 Jordens’ sisters (including myself) to participate in the yearly volleyball tournament. I really enjoyed the competition and the atmosphere around it and realized that it is time to do sports again. After the tournament, we were all exhausted, including Jolijn and Lieselore 236

This week our friends, Amy and Sturm, visited us. Sturm was one of Jon’s roommates in college (Ohio State University). For Sturm this was his first European experience. 70344 The abnormal warm weather made their trip even more enjoyable than expected. It was fun to hang out again. 372 On May 5th we threw a [...]
