Mother’s Day Roses from my Mama

Well, it feels like things are coming together – at least the “bones” are in place. Jeff is in Amsterdam this week and is meeting with a lawyer to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. He’s securing the office space for the new company, and opening a bank account and obtaining a BSN – something like a Social Security Number here in the States.  He’s going by to check out our new house and sign a lease – hopefully it’s as nice as it looks in pictures.  He’s visiting with Tommy, his colleague and friend that lives in Haarlem. I’m sure he’ll have some fun and a couple of biertjes while he’s there too, and hopefully get some rest!  He’s been going full-speed.

I woke up at 2 am to see if the admissions officer from the school had responded yet. I had to get a couple more documents and reports before they could make their decision whether or not to accept our family. The good news was it was worth waking up for! We are in!  All 3 kids will be at the same school with our friends from Palo Alto!  This excites me and was worth waking up for!

So the bones and structure are now in place – now it’s time to start filling in the details!  Still need to call a moving company, decide what to pack and leave behind, how to ship our car and how long will it take…plus lots of playing still to do! 

I’m not busy – just really enjoying every fun-filled minute.
