The van der Meers: December 2010

Saturday, December 18, 2010. For us, this year, Qatar National Day was not dissimilar to any other weekend day. We opted for our local pool spot versus the big festivities on the Corniche. With two itty bitties, splashing around seemed more fun than stroller derby in the heat. :). The ginormous Qatari flag on the Ritz Carlton. Our sweet, happy boy! Daddy loves splashing around as much as they do - he's the one all the kids gravitate towards! Our corner of paradise. Rough life. :). Photo of the day.

Tuesday, November 2, 2010. A whole new meaning to Snail Mail. In Doha, The Land of Almost, their post system is hit or miss. Sometimes we receive packages in a time frame that seems reasonable, and other times we get July birthday presents in November. And dare I suspect, sometimes we don't get mail at all! Rocking a lovely orange ("Go Holland! Hat from Great-Grandparents in Chicago. Posted by Kelley and Richard. Tuesday, November 02, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A whole new meaning to Snail Mail.

Monday, March 21, 2011. A day out in the fields and heath between Laren and Hilversum in Gooi. We all enjoyed the new opportunity of rolling in the grass, look for "treasures" and breath the fresh spring air after our time in the desert. Posted by Kelley and Richard. Monday, March 21, 2011.

http://www.the-vandermeers.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Final scenes from our Dutch holiday. One of the places we visited with both sets of parents. If you look to the left, you'll see clogs - Dutch folks really do wear these, primarily for gardening (they're big into gardening over here). The main grocery shop. Sandwich shop (broodjes means sandwich in Dutch). In Den Haag, near Richard's parent's apartment. Big on their dairy over here. Posted by Kelley and Richard. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Monday, August 16, 2010. Baby Doll - check.

Sunday, December 25, 2011. Where there is love, there is life. Content from our holiday update 12/15/11. 2012 we hope for continued strength in bearing the loss of Isabelle, health, and happiness with our growing family. As we longed for anything to make our reality different those days in the hospital, when there was nothing more we could do to save our precious girl, she in turned saved 3 lives and gave the gift of sight to 2 others….
