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.
Since then, he’s grown so much. He’s gone from sleeping all the time…
… to rolling over…
… to sitting up…
… to standing (Marcus could [...]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Marcus, Christine and Jon
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.
This picture is just the standard “playing with the funny settings” shot. I [...]
After our Washington visit, we flew to San Francisco to meet up with family and friends.
Grandma and grandpa met Marcus for the first time.
Just before we left on holiday, it was Father’s Day in Belgium for which Jon received a nice picture of Marcus. For the US Father’s Day 2 weeks later, we all went [...]
On June 10th, we went on our first family holiday to the US! Marcus did very well on his first flight. Other passengers even took pictures of our handsome boy!
Our first stop was Washington DC where we went for coffee at the White House. A handsome Belgian-American boy like Marcus deserves only the [...]
Marcus is about 20 weeks, It’s time for some solid food. On the menu are fresh carrots and old potatoes. The first attempt was not very successful.
It has taken about 1 month before Marcus started loving his solid food. Mommy’s milk was much better.
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
Hello! I’m already 4 months
After having spent every single minute together with Marcus since his birth, time has come to get back to work. Marcus will stay in a new daycare centre only 5 minutes from our new home.
Luckly Marcus didn’t mind being left behind at his first day at the daycare.
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.
The abnormal warm weather made their trip even more enjoyable than expected. It was fun to hang out again.
On May 5th we threw a Mexican theme party to [...]
