Gaizka playing with the Giraffe

Everyday we try to go outside for a little while. Today we were visiting ' our ' Giraffe at the Witteveenplein like we often do.

Gaizka takes The fifth........

No does not have legal problems.

He took the "fifth disease" as they call it here.

He had two rough days, probably his joints that were bothering him.
And he had red spots on his back, belly and on his face.

He's doing fine now and the spots are fading away.

We hope that I don't get the disease, because it would not be good for the new baby. So far, it seems that I am oke. To be certain, we are calling the docter tomorrow.

Een 'nieuwe' box voor Gaizka

1 januari hadden we vrienden op bezoek en we hadden bedacht dat we wat meer zitgelegenheid in de woonkamer konden gebruiken. Dus de kleine bank uit de 'lounge' gehaald en toegevoegd bij de banken die er al stonden.
Dat werd met name gewaardeerd door Thierry (zoontje van vrienden) die heerlijk over de banken kon rennen. Wij hebben uiteindelijk de hele tijd aan tafel gezeten, haha.

Het was een uitgelezen gelegenheid om de 'lounge' om te toveren tot box voor Gaizka. Anders werd deze alleen gebruikt om de was op te hangen. Toch ook zonde van de ruimte.




The 1st of januari we had friends over and thought it was a good opportunity to have an extra couch in the livingroom. So, we took the small couch of Antonio out of the 'lounge' and put it together with the rest of the couches.
Thierry, the son of our friends liked to run over the couches and probably thought it was a very good idea of us. In the end we all sat at the table all of the time, hahaha.

It was a good opportunity to make a big playing ground for Gaizka in the ' lounge ' . We only use the space to dry our laundry. So it has better use now.

Enjoying his time with Antonio

When Gaizka laughes, you start laughing yourself. We made some short videos of him playing and joking with Antonio.
One we like to share with you.
He really is joking around. Watch when he points at the picture at the wall. He is distracting Antonio.......and then.....yes!! joking again.

The making of............the Hirst painting

A couple of weeks ago we published a blogpost about the art that Gaizka made for my birthday.

Well, here is the making of.............

XL & XS

At the current time, Gaizka is the youngest and also smallest familymember of the HUBERT-clan.

His nephew, Jeroen, is the oldest and at the same time longest familymember.

Gaizka Hirst......

Yesterday when I brought Gaizka to the daycare,they asked me what we were going to do that night. Since it was the 5th of december and then we have 'Sinterklaas" in Holland. It is a sort of Santa Claus, but a typical Dutch tradition. The children believe he comes by boat from spain and has a big book in which he keeps their behaviour up to date. He has presents, but if you've been bad he will know.
I told them that it was my birthday and since Gaizka is still too small to understand the meaning of 'Sinterklaas' we would invite friends for dinner.

Well ,Femke, the girl who works there, told Gaizka right away that he would make something for my birthday at the daycare.

And look what our Damien Gaizka Hirst made for me......!





We will let you know when the auction will take place !!!
