Last week, Joseph and I went to Holland. Click here to see the pictures.

The Birthday Girl and her simple birthday cake


She helps abang Jojo preparing his school bag.


Starts to be interested in potty related things. Here she's 'peeing'
while looking at a potty train book



Loves to do pretend play, including wearing
her brother's outfit


Cares about her babies. She brings them around and
feeds them just like a real mama


She got a laufrad as a birthday present from us.
Laufrad is a bike without pedals.
It is said that a laufrad eases the learning process as those
young kids will concentrate first on steering and balancing before
moving to a pedal bike.
 

Bye-bye abang Jojo ..... have a nice vacation with Blumi and Tinou!!

...... with our juniors!

The school looks different


Louise in her snow suit
 

Finishes her plate


Stacks and builds


Practices piano just like her brother


Takes all her clothes off, including the diaper


Grows a dozen teeth in 9 months time







 

"Aku tidak suka lagi Thomas, aku mau Hot Wheels!"
 I don't like Thomas (the Tank Engine) anymore. I like Hot Wheels!



When passing the ice skating rink in Muenchen Stachus, he screamed:
"Mama, aku mau meluncur di atas es!" (I want to slide on the ice!)
It was his first time and the giant bear helped him to go around.

Joseph enjoys mama's kue lumpur
I've been baking Indonesian cakes and pastries these past few weeks, and kids love them.

 

She got this serious stove as a Christmas present from papa and mama
 

It's our first Christmas with extended families after 5 years,
and a new experience for Joseph and Louise

Riding the Christmas Tram



Enjoying the Christmas Market


Although the weather was terribly wet and cold

 

Louise's new hobby is to take of her own top, and goes around the house topless,
In this picture, she's doing her all time favorite: opening whatever packaging



The only clear picture of Joseph's birthday.
Story and picture of the cake is here on trilingual


I cannot resist these two pieces of dress from H&M.
Louise was happy and insisted to put
them on immediately at the store.

By the way, I have fixed the links on my previous posts. Simply click them to view pictures of our latest vacation.

Joseph joined the singing group on the stage.
He was rather unhappy because he didn't know the song


Louise with tante Ina and Nadin.
 

Joseph's school kind of celebrated it on Friday last week.
Kids were asked to bring their own Octoberfest lunch,
which are pretzel, cheese and sausage.
Of course minus the beer.


 

Mama's first cake from scratch, ever. It's an Indonesian cake, called Pandan Cake.
