I finally decide to sit down and create a video showing Sebastian’s progression through 2007. I have put in a bunch of photos where we did not have videos.
Once again time for a video update. This movie is a collection of random clips shot over the last two months. I have two more videos in pre-production right now. I’ll be posting them shortly as well.
We have now been in Miri a little bit over two weeks and we are still having that vacation feeling. But more on that later. Let me first give a quick recap of what has happened in the weeks since our last update.
Mom and the kitties left on Wednesday the 14th as planned and the same day the movers came to start packing up everything in the house. The three of us moved into a hotel in the Hague such that we did not have to live among the boxes. Sebastian took all of this remarkably well. On Friday the movers came and picked up everything and managed to stuff all our belongings in a 20 foot container. This was quite surprising as the initial assessment estimated that we were 3 cubic meters over. On Friday evening we ended up watching Holland play their world cup match against Ivory Coast in the lobby of the hotel together with our neighbor Rutger and his girlfriend. Sebastian was showing very clear signs of early manhood since he just did not know where to focus his attention. His eyes kept moving from the beers on the table (mind you, only the full glasses), to the soccer on tv, and the girl sitting next to him. I’m not going to have to teach this boy anything.

Good morning little doll,
What a shock we received! You’re back in Rotterdam now where you were born. After opa and I held you we know for sure that you’ll keep fighting to stay with us, you’re such a great little boy.
The doctors keep testing you until they know what is happening to you, so they can make you get better. What has to happen, has to happen, but you are definitely staying with us, that we know for sure. We can’t do anything to help at this moment but we think about the 3 of you all day and we continue to light candles in the hope that it might speed things up a little. Your papa and mama are there for you all day and we’ll come visit again this weekend. We’ll take tante Tini along as well so she can cuddle you again.
My love, get lots of rest and eat well so that you’ll grow strong and tall and you’ll be able to laugh about all this with us later. That’s what I dream about already.
By love, see you next weekend!
Big hug and lots of kisses from opa and oma from Susteren.
