The celebration of the (mis)adventures, the mundane, and the magical moments of my family. Join us as we gypsy around the world. It gets manic sometimes but we figure we can't go wrong as long as we stay close together and embrace every moment of every day ... Relax, take it easy!

Happy Birthday Oma and Opa!
Today is Sera's Oma's birthday and tomorrow is Opa's birthday ... and how nice that they're both in Doha at the moment. We spent a lazy afternoon at the Corniche today. The weather was perfect, a little warm with a balmy breeze. As usual, Sera was in high spirits the minute we propped her onto the mat. We had a light lunch of Arabic bread, juice and home-baked marble cake (ahem, I was in the mood and pretty eager this morning).
Our friend, Mary-Luz and her two sons, Juan-Camillo and Lucas joined us a little later, and Sera was simply unbashful, crawling over and tugging at the boys. Seeing Sera with the boys gave me a nostalgic flashback of me, valiantly trying to join my uncles and brother in their play. Hmm ... I see Sera has taken after some of my traits. Sera was especially intrigued by Lucas's little 'Winnie the Pooh' rider. She was raring to go, breaking out in giggles whenever Johan gave her a push.

A push from Johan and off she goes ...
Wheeeeeeeeee!
We ended the day with a cozy dinner at Bukhara and later we surprised Oma and Opa with a birthday cake. I think it was the first ever birthday cake for Sera's oma. Fijne verjaardag Oma en Opa!
