de Laat Family 2.0: October Snapshots
http://katieandbas.blogspot.com/2012/10/october-snapshots.html
Sunday, October 28, 2012. Tess likes to help with laundry. When it is warm she likes to climb on top and lay tummy down on it. Luna loves "playing" with Tess, which generally involves various forms of rolling around, dragging, or carrying Tess. Haven't had a stranded baby, recently I like this one. Oh, and a pony. Luna discovered the year old box of chocolates that were sitting on the counter, earmarked to get thrown away. She helped herself. We had to let her. I made some yummy pumpkin cupcakes.

de Laat Family 2.0: September 2012
http://katieandbas.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Oma and Opa came for the weekend to help celebrate Bas's 38th birthday. Love getting pictures of them with our babies. Luna got a cool camp chair. And some other fun stuff! Tess was a bit nonplussed with all the men's distractions. Bas got the coolest birthday present ever! It's an antique map of Haarlem that we've been coveting for some time! Oma made her traditional birthday-strawberry-torte. Tess enjoyed it thoroughly. Trying to get group shots is always so much fun.

de Laat Family 2.0: June 2012

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Adventures in Baby Led Weaning - Part 2. This is Tess's second experience with chicken. Don't think she consumes much yet. Most of it gets spit back out, but she is getting better at getting it in there. And they say that she gets nutrients from sucking and gnawing as well. It's just so funny to watch her go at it though! Sometimes she misses (she kept sticking it in her eye tonight.). Sometimes she makes it. Sometimes she just looks at it. But she's definitely into it! Tess had...

Thursday, February 23, 2012. Happy One Month, Tess! Better late than never! We did one of these for Luna, so we figured we better keep up with Tess! Thanks to Luna and Jennie for the cupcake! Monday, February 20, 2012. As an early anniversary present, Bas surprised me last week by coming home and telling me that he had booked us a weekend in Garmisch! As a habitual over-packer I was quite proud of the fact that I managed to get all 4 of us into one suitcase for the first time! Even all the diapers! Now t...

Monday, March 26, 2012. End of March Pics! Lil' Tess is working SO hard at getting her little fist in her mouth! She wants it so badly, and then gets fussy when her jerky little arm pulls it out! Luna loves playing with her little sister! When Mama lets her! Sunday, March 18, 2012. A special thanks to Zoe for organizing! A guidebook for their honeymoon. And a little something special (for Rob? We'll miss you Pam! Best wishes to you and Rob! Click on a picture to enlarge or download.). My New Ex-Pat SIte.

Monday, October 31, 2011. Monday, October 24, 2011. A visit with Gramma. Draws to an end tomorrow. Sniffle, sniffle. But we were blessed with 2 weeks! And, fortunately we will see her again, soon! Papa und Tochter Laternen Basteln Abend war heute! It is their 3rd year! Sunday, October 23, 2011. I think we may have officially crossed over into hoarding status.

The Colorado Nachrichten: No more photos?!
http://coloradonachrichten.blogspot.com/2013/01/no-more-photos.html
Updates from our family to yours! Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Blogger is telling me that I have exhausted my supply of free photo uploads. I am too frugal to pay them, so unless I figure something else out with the blog, I will be using another solution to share photos. If you are still interested in receiving photo updates from us, please let me know. You can e-mail me, or comment on this post and I will keep you in the loop! I would like to stay in the photo loop!

de Laat Family 2.0: July 2012
http://katieandbas.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 13, 2012. Whatever the translation. I've been nervous about hosting a playdate with Luna's schoolmates, precisely because I don't trust my German. But Luna has now been on several playdates with some of her schoolmates, and I was beginning to feel obligated! So we went ahead and did it. and I'm not sure what I was so worried about. Last Wednesday afternoon, we had Carolin over. they jumped on the trampoline. And then I had a craft for them to do. Look at that little face? Sunday, July 1, 2012.

de Laat Family 2.0: St. Martin's
http://katieandbas.blogspot.com/2012/11/st-martins.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. Every year that Luna has been in school, we have joined her classmates and their families on a cold night out for a walk with lanterns, to celebrate St. Martin's day. This year Luna got to be in the play, because she is a "Vorschulekind.". Tess was bundled up! Some of the lanterns, and yes, these paper lanterns all have real candles burning in them. The priest getting ready to bless the event. All the kids watching the Vorschulekind play or "Spiel.". My New Ex-Pat SIte.
