More visits... and more friends!

We went down to Belgium to introduce Céline to her great-grandmother Omalala. Strong and good-looking genes (Jeanne's), obviously! As always, Emile particularly enjoyed the trampoline.

We also took advantage of the opportunity to wish tante Elizabeth a happy, er... 50th birthday!
But if this is what you look like after raising no less than 4 kids, well, then maybe I'm game...

Whaddya reckon... Notice the slightly concerned look on my face...
Ha! That's much better! I'd say 4 kids are just about manageable, with a little help from your friends:
Because Emile and Kyo - 6 weeks apart -are such good friends, Holly obligingly gave birth to a little friend for Céline: Yuna, born 5 weeks after our baby! What a great friend - and how's that for timing, eh?

And then there's also little Olivia from round the corner, born in January. On this photo (May 27): Olivia (4 months), Céline (5 weeks) and Yuna (3 days).
Three little girls who you will probably see featured here together more often, in the future! (Olivia's brother Christiaan, incidentally, is of the May 2006 pedigree, i.e. the same age as Emile and Kyo! Again, not bad timing...)

Now here's a video that most of you will find really boring, but I, the mother, think this is wonderful, because it really shows what Céline looks like right now and how cute she is, more than a single photo can. So, enjoy:


There, this should tie you for a while! See you in 2 weeks with ~ if you're lucky ~ lots of fun holiday photos!
