Easter at the cottage in Finland

Here Alex and his Eero-pappa (grandfater) are ice fishing.

Alex and his 3-year birthday party

Recently we were at the weddings and Alex was wearing his tie. Unfortunately Belgium winter was so cold that he had to were also his pullover and tie was almost hidden under it. Well... Alex found an easy solution; pull your tie up and let it be on your pullover rather than under.

Here Alex smiles way after his bed time... when we celebrate we just celebrate without keeping our eye on the watch.

Here is our Alex Richard on his 3rd birthday. We had to lit the candles three times before all cameras were ready for the photo taking... the little fellow is sometimes too fast!
This year we were lucky to have Eero-pappa and Lissu- mummu (grandpa and grandma) among other friends singing "Happy Birthday to you..."

Here are a few photos from our quick trip to Tunisia in the first week of November.

Weather was fine 20+.






















Alex was quite excited to learn a new animal called "camel" but what he really enjoyed the most was swimming -- I guess camels were too slow for him.

Sateenkaari Reunion

The first weekend in August around 30 former Sateenkaari choir members -- singers and musicians -- gathered together at Siiontemppeli, Jyvaskyla Finland. It was such a joyful reunion as everyone shared where life had taken each one of them. Some of us hadn't have met each other over 20-years!

On Sunday, the former choir members togheter with their own children sang several songs from the the old record, which was now published as a CD version. (It's avalailble at Siiontemppeli and us.)

Thank you for all who came!

We had a privilege to have Alex's grandma (mummu) Lissu and Leena in the end of May-beginning of June. Their help was very needed that time as we were busy with many graduation activities at the school.
