spring is in the air

The weather here in Holland has been so springy and nice the last few days. 

The sidewalks seem busier and the people happier. 

Winter has skipped Holland this year and because of that spring flowers are blooming and the cherry tree in front of our building is starting to blossom. 

Spring is in the air!

And to top it all off it's February vacation, which means that Micha and I have B. all to ourselves for a week.

We've made a start in the soon-to-be nursery, with help from my parents.

We've hopped on our bikes to watch the trains at the station.

We've slept in and had late big breakfasts, napped in the afternoons (all three of us) and spent our evenings tired and content from our busy days.

And we're only halfway through the week.

This afternoon we headed to the city center to witness our city's THREE (!!there must be something in the water!) Olympic medalists being celebrated and cheered for by at least a thousand proud fans. 

It was a historical moment and I couldn't have been more proud of this little city I live in.

All this happiness and sunshine is making me long for warm spring days which bring the promise of the best part of the year: Summer!

I can't wait!

Love, Maria
