Gaizka and Mila

Mila and Gaizka were born on the same day, in the same hospital. Their mothers, Margreet and Ciska were roommates at the hospital. On those very first hours we realised that Mila and Gaizka were neighbours. Mila and her parents live right across the park where Gaikza plays.

A couple of weeks ago we got to Mila's house for coffee (and cookies, of course). We were there looking at the house, their appartment is for sale and we were looking around to see if it was interesting for us. Margreet loves it! She wants to buy it. But how do we get the money right?

Gaizka at the library

Here's Gaizka in the reading spot at the city library. We are having fun!

Vacation with Gaizka pt. 1

The three of us are on vacation in the southern part of Holland. That's where the boat is, so that's where we are.

Of course our main goal is to go sailing. So far we have not sailed a bit. The weather is fine, but the winds are too strong and for Gaizka that is no fun. So we go to the beach and visit some little villages.

Tomorrow will be our first sailing day.

A little vacation

Just this week we went to the boat for a couple of relaxing days. The weather was fine, some good days, some days okay.

Antonio brought my bicycle with an extra seat in front for Gaizka. Then he went working and came back two days later. Meanwhile, Gaizka and I had a good time biking, bathing and playing together.

Aren't they cute together?

I am proud of my two men. I love to take pictures of them together and often they turn out just great, just like they are in reality!

Who is babysitting Gaizka during the sailingcompetition?

Of course, we are still active in the sailingcompetition. We, as in Antonio. It is not an easy thing to leave your child with a babysitter, especially not in a harbour with all the water nearby.

So since Gaizka is in our lives, I am still taking care of him during the matches. However I would like to compete again. But I also enjoy my time with Gaizka. Now the weather is getting better and it is nicer to be outside. So Gaizka and I went along with Antonio to the boat and during the match we had our own plan.

We went to the Northsea were we took a stroll and Gaizka had his first experience with a lot of sand and with the oceanwater(way too cold for his Southamerican taste.).

And after a while he fell asleep, with the sound of the waves as a nice background melody.

And the next day of the competition?
Yes, we found our babysitter. It was a tough decision, but in the harbour all the mothers, grandmothers who do not join in the competition have an extra eye out for the litle ones.
And our little one did have a splendid time in the harbour while we went sailing!

Stampersplaat

A short holiday and two happy faces on a small island called Stampersplaat.
