Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI love taking photos, and still learning a lot about the world of digital pics. Any tips for a newbie for posting photos? Thanks! Ken
Great photos. Watching our kids grow up and learning to do things themselves is a treasure for any parent. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteJenn, that's a great take on the theme. Wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
What a great photo. I love the interpretation of the theme. Moe likes to try and so her own buttons and such. Lately she yells "me do it" when I am putting her into her carseat.
ReplyDeleteVery clever take on today's theme!!! and lovely pics! happy hunt :)
ReplyDeleteBless that's so sweet
ReplyDeleteWow, most original set of pictures for the theme I have seen today, love it. I have three grandkids living with me right now and I see how they learn something new everyday. Things I used to do for them they now do on their own.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful step for you and him! Is the independence exciting or a little heartbreaking?
ReplyDeleteVery original take on the theme and very cute photos! Love your budding little grownup there.
ReplyDeleteOh - what a wonderful take on this week's theme :)...I am never that creative (okay once in a while)...
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast, don't they.
Thank you for sharing...Have a wonderful weekend.
Getting those holes and buttons to match is a real project.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo series - I love your take on the theme. I'm hoping to come back and check out your blog archives soon!
ReplyDeleteParenting is great but sometimes I worry too much about their future..and constantly worry if they will be able to handle independence
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the theme!!! Adorable photos, he's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAww so cute..It is amazing how fast little ones learn.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the theme, very creative! I remember those moments, thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. So intense with concentration. Don't help Mum.

ReplyDeleteAw, what a sweet set of photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the theme and adorable pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThose steps are too soon behind us!
I actually remember learning that and learning how to tie my shoes. I was so proud and thought I was all grown up. I bet he feels the same way!
ReplyDeleteYour son is amazing. You must be proud of him!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love that idea! Great shots :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, lol ! Poor boy such a difficult work ! Nice interpretation of the word. At least I don't have to climb on steps here !
ReplyDeleteOh look at that young man! Lol! It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteoooh I love this set, such a great moment to capture and well taken too.
ReplyDeleteHow proud and straight he is standing in that last photo! Sigh. My daughter turns 21 this week... no longer a little one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on today's theme! Learning most anything is a series of steps.
ReplyDeleteAwww, loved those photos!
ReplyDeleteJenn, first of all thank you for your comment you left at my blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture. I had thought of posting a similar picture of our little girl who's determined to do everything herself if she is able to (sometimes even if she's not able to! lol).

Hello Jenn. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos. I love the way you interpreted this week's theme. It must make you feel very proud to see your son moving another step towards independence. Thanks for sharing and visiting my photo hunt.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jenn, this was the best. I had nearly forgotten my now 29 year old trying to button, sigh, that was before digital cameras. Thanks for de-cloaking (my poetry).
ReplyDeleteWow...you have a lot of comments already! You must be popular!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the theme....and as a mom of three teens...I can share he has a lot more steps to go!
