Back in our new home

... and the sun is shining. Finally! It has been a tough week. I came back alone from Germany with Lina and Sam and all week we had really bad weather. It has been grey and rainy and our small apartment got even smaller in a short time. But now there is light again. The door to the garden is wide open and Sam can roam on our little terraces. He loves the outside or maybe he feels relief from my anxiety about being locked inside all day by rain storms. Doug is also back for the week even. So we can enjoy some family life again. Yesterday we went to two parties. One was a good-bye party - friends with two sets of twins are moving from the Netherlands to Norway. They are starting their long journey today. After our good-byes we went to another friends BBQ in Utrecht. Sam was a champ and stayed up late, even without the grouchiness. Then he slept a couple of hours on their bed. On our trip home we transfered him between the bike and my lap in the train and back to the bike. When we got home he was up and thought it was morning. But for the first time in a long while (maybe even year) we could sleep in on a Sunday until 8:30 ;-)
