Today the Kindergarten teachers celebrated their birthdays. Theme for this party at school was 'Pirates and Mermaids'. So obviously Eva and Naomi were to be Mermaids. Due to the short notice for this event we went looking for the dresses on the internet and found the beautiful dresses at http://www.artoek.nl/. I contacted them by e-mail and almost immediately received a response that the dresses were available and could be mailed the same day.
This great service was exactly what I was looking for and I ordered 2 mermaid's dresses. We received them the next day, well on time for the special party at school today and as you can see on the pictures in the Mermaids album, it was a great success with the two most beautiful mermaids in Kindergarten.

RUNNING IS FUN
Last wednesday Rosanne and I planned to go to our Health Club and asked Judith to 'baby'sit over Naomi and Eva. She happily agreed, because this usually means that she could stay up late.
At the halfway point to the Health Club Rosanne asked me if she would be able to accompany me during my running excercises. I agreed that running with two or more is more fun than running alone, so we decided to return home and change plans. I kind of 'turned' the car around and we went home. Judith was a 'little' surprised to see us home so soon, but we slipped into running clothes and went off for a planned 5 kilometers run.
Rosanne kept up with my pace, according to my heart rate monitor set to 'moderate' and followed throught until the 2 kilometers mark, where I decided to go on for 500 meters and then I returned. Rosanne in the meantime spent some time with stretching and walking and started to walk back home.
After my return point I catched up with her and she joined me as we ran back home. She did very well for a 1st time run. We completed the run in just under 29 minutes. That is not bad at all. I have to congratulate her on her performance. Well done.
Unfortunately there are no pictures of this event, but maybe next time. She told me that she enjoyed it, so...
Unfortunately her leg and belly muscles have had a stretch too far... She will need some time to recover and we will continue after that.

Relax
Judith has spend the last couple of days outside Mexico-City in a country house that is owned by the family of her future aunt Mariana. Mariana and Hans will be married in June this year. The house has a nice swimming pool in the large backyard. Judith does have a real holiday in Mexico after all.
As the Mexican government has announced that it will withdraw most of the restrictions that were implemented after the 'outbreak' of the A/H1N1 virus, she can even spend some 'normal' days in this beautiful city, that has got a lot to offer to visitors.
We have contacted our local health authorities (GGD) and asked them about any precautions we should take after Judith's return. They were quite clear with their statement that she can pick up her normal life (family, school, etc) without any problems. She has already informed her friends through the Hyves community and is looking forward to see all of them back at school on monday, 11 May, when she will have a lot to talk about.
We will pick her up at Schiphol, next Saturday, where we weill be looking out for a girl with a nice tan, I figure...

Mexico - Werkendam
After two 'long' weeks Judith is back from her vacation in Mexico. She is tired, but does not want to admit that fact.
Fortunately she has 1 day to adapt to our timezone and to get rid of any jetlag symptoms, so I think we will try to keep her in bed this weekend. Next week she will go back to school and will have a lot to tell and talk about. On the picture you can see her at the time she walks through the gate at Schiphol Airport, just before she throws herself into the arms of her mother and sisters. Her father took the picture, that's why...
