Gotchaday is the extra holiday you get when you have an adopted child.
One year ago today we got Leif. Here are the boys on 24 January 2008. It seems like we've always had him. Ethan claims he can't remember not having a brother.
To celebrate we had chinese food from Eethuis Li, our new favorite local dive, and cake.
Tired boy
We drove Leif to exhaustion at the market today.
Here's a big old church because you're supposed to take pictures of big old churches in Europe. It's Hooglandse Kerk here in Leiden. To tell you the truth, I get more excited about small old houses. It changes one's perspective to walk into a 16th century house that is not an historical landmark but just in use. You can be born live a full life and die on time scales that are short in the consciousness of the local people.
Word of the day
Eergisteren. The day before yesterday.
Vandaag morgen gisteren en overmorgen vandaag eergisteren zal geweest worden. Tomorrow today will be yesterday and the day after tomorrow today will be the day before yesterday.
See the word from a couple of posts back.
