  Good morning, Soulfriends! *big warm smile*
  
  The pictures posted below were taken (with my webcam directly to the website of http://dailybooth.com/ , where I am continuing my 365 Days of Paper~ Project) last night after a long beautiful Sunday in the north part of the Netherlands.
  
  Piet drove to Germany with a rented car Saturday afternoon, and we were home in Holland at 2 in the morning.  We all woke up early the next day to return the car, and then spent a lovely afternoon driving around showing the girls (I have had almost the same tour with Piet the first time we met, as I visited him August 2007) where Piet grew up, the village, houseboat his father built himself and where he and his 3 siblings enjoyed idyllic childhood.  I will blog about this in detail with pictures later on.
  
  I am so happy, my heart is squeezing as I write this, so grateful to all of you that have supported me since I joined here in SoulCast, the friends I connected deeply with 2006, the bloggers who I followed silently 2007, the friendships that blossomed in 2008-09...you will never know how much you have all helped me.
  
  Thank you.
  
  
  
  
  
  We fell asleep at around 1 am (lol we will be trying to turn in much earlier as the days progressed!) and was awakened by Mary at 5 am, and had to get up at 6 am.  I have eaten breakfast with much gusto after Piet left for work while I uploaded pictures and read all your heartfelt comments.
  
  I know when I am in the middle of writing this, one of the girls would groggily greet me with, "Good morning, Mommy..." and I have to stop in the middle of commenting individually to all of you.  So I will keep it short, as much as I want to write so much to each and everyone of you.
  
  I promised the girls not to be behind the laptop so much when we are back for good in Holland, that I will have my "internet office hours".  As you probably could imagine, there is much to do in the next months.

  [sings with you]
  
  Go! Let's go, go! Go! Let's go, go!
  I need you here, but you're always so far away
  I call you up, but you know it's just never the same
  'Cause being closer to you is my sweetest escape
  It's all I needed
  I need you here, but you're always so far away
  
  This is our night
  The look in your eyes says we can go all the way
  I'm losing my mind, broken inside
  I want you to take my breath away
  It's obvious that my heart beats for you (Beats for you, beats for you)
  
  Just might go tonight
  We're so close tonight
  I need you here, but you're out there on your own
  Do you still look like the pictures in my telephone?
  Hiding out in your room, we could be alone
  Laughing out loud
  
  You need me here, but I'm always so far away
  This is our night
  The look in your eyes says we can go all the way
  I'm losing my mind, broken inside
  I want you to take my breath away
  It's obvious that my heart beats for you (Beats for you, beats for you)
  It's obvious that my heart beats for you (Beats for you, beats for you)
  
  Just might go tonight
  We're so close tonight
  Just let go tonight
  We're so close tonight
  This is our night, look in my eyes
  We can go all the way
  I'm losing my mind, broken inside, and take my breath away
  
  This is our night
  The look in your eyes says we can go all the way
  I'm losing my mind, broken inside
  I want you to take my breath away
  It's obvious that my heart beats for you (Beats for you, beats for you)
  It's obvious that my heart beats for you (Beats for you, beats for you)
  
  Just might go tonight
  We're so close tonight

  It's obvious
  
  
  
  
  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, miss greenstuff!  Being home to Holland is the best present for my birthday this month too! :D
  
  I can´t  wait to sail, have picknicks and go out for a night of fun with the girls, Stampa, Guitar Hero  & <3 YOU<3 ; )!
  
  And bring your friends with you if you like :) it was fun having them for tea after you skated...the girls enjoyed it, however short.....all your friends will always be welcome :)
  
  Ooooh next year, you will be 18! You will have a marathon celebration!  I am glad I will be there...WOOT!
  
  But FIRST  we will celebrate your
  
  
  
  birthday!!!

  Wonderful pictures Paper!  They illuminated you both so well!  That picture of you and Piet is priceless, just for you to be there with him, to sigh in relief with him.  I'm still just so damn happy for you!

• MissMimi said on Mar 09, 2009....

  You both look very tired but so happy.  I'm so happy that you are finally together and can begin your new life.  {{{{{{{{big happy hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}

  Thanks, Heggies!!!
  
  Ugh slept too long...wanted to only put Mary down for her nap, and we both fell asleep from 3 pm until almost 6 in the evening...!
  
  Now, I will be cooking, and thinking of a way to post the blog I promised.

  pisces <°)))))))<< sistah
  
  
  Thanks, MissyMims!!!
  
  Piet just called on his way home...he´ll probably crash and nap on the sofa like I did this afternoon.  We hope to slowly get a rhythm not only for the girls sake but for ours as well specially since we have met we made our nights into an extended day!
  
  sending you much lurrrrrrrrrrrrrv, Mimsie
