This is a photo of Bear, Bronwen and Mac doing their "Dutch School" on the computer. The Dutch language school they had been attending the last few years has closed (temporarily, while waiting for more funding from the Dutch government---it may take awhile because we all know how tight-fisted those Dutch are!:-)so, in the meantime, Bert has been doing the "Rosetta Stone" Dutch program with the kids. It is for adults, so they can't do everything, but they do amazingly well---even Mac! To them it is just a fun computer game.
If you ever have an interest in learning another language, the "Rosetta Stone" software is great! It is surprisingly easy. Since Bert already speaks Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and English, he has decided to tackle Italian!!! I think the kids and I will stick with English and Dutch!!!:-)

Mr. Chatty
Thought I'd try the video thing again.
Not sure if this will work. Click on the

talking on the phone.

Het Kerstfeest van het familie Bouwman (The Bouwman Family Christmas)
As you can see from the "mooi" photo's, we had a very nice "Kerst": Our "kleinste jongen" Maclaren enjoyed our "kerstboom" a lot. Papa shares a "knuffel" with his favoite "meisje". The "twee Bouwman jongens" pose by Grandma and Grandpa's "kerstboom", and the "drie Bouwman kinderen" get ready to open gifts on "Kerstavond".
(Can you tell we've been working hard on speaking "Nederlands" at our house?:-)
