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.

Coot babies are funny looking little birds. You have taken another wonderful picture for Wordless Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love birds and these are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWow. A rare find...even more rare to find it while you had your camera.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are really very cute !
ReplyDeleteI'm going to confess something horrible- as a little girl growing up in Florida, the neighborhood kids used to play "coot shoot"... no guns, just trying to hit one of the zillions of coots with a pebble- we always missed of course. Thanks for that memory, I think.
ReplyDeleteYour blogger is acting like mine- I just posted and it's showing up beneath yesterday's post... strange.
Awww, too coot!
ReplyDeleteWas this before or after the mother came back and started attacking you?
ReplyDeleteRuuffff... I played with chickens and they died on me... now I don't bother with birds.
ReplyDeleteCome visit... bring doggy treats.
Beautiful photo... they are sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteWow. Cute little things arn't they. Happy WW!
ReplyDeletewow! great shot
ReplyDeletethey are sweet and lovely too.
What a lovely blog you have! It's fun to see Holland from a newcomer's point of view.
ReplyDeleteAh, and I LOVE coots.
I agree . . . very very cute x x x
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute! Baby anything is so precious!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! These are darling -- are they as noisy as they look? How'd you get so close?
ReplyDeletewow they really look beautiful and so eager with all those heads perked up.
ReplyDeletegreat shot. they are so cute!
ReplyDeletei love birds and i love babies, so this is particularly fabulous for me. :) great picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic:)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! :) That's a wonderful photo. :)
ReplyDeleteLove baby birds. Once, while I was visiting a farmhouse in Ensenada, Mexico, I was observing a chicken running about with all of her chicks. They fairly covered the ground! Chirp chirping. Fuzzy little yellow balls. I felt a few raindrops and looked up at the sky (as we do when we feel a raindrop). I looked back down and they were suddenly GONE. Their mother was still standing there and it didn't take me long to see all of those little legs sticking out from under her wings. You couldn't see a sign of them except those little leggies.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the mommies.
fabulous shot!!
ReplyDeletehappy Wednesday :)
What an unusual bunch!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
Oh, sweet babies! I want to pet their soft little feathers! (You should send that to Cute Overload!)
ReplyDeleteNeat picture! They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Those are so cute! I'm glad I can reach through and pick them up. Because I want to.
ReplyDeletegreat picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough shot - they look so vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW.
Oh, how I do love your blog!! Every once and awhile, you stumble upon a really good one - one that feels as comfortable as an old pair of shoes. I dare say, I will visit again :-)

ReplyDeleteThat is a super picture! Happy WW =)
ReplyDeleteWordless yes, but not silent. I can hear the sound of these birds song. Excellent entry
ReplyDeleteVery coot. I mean, cute.
ReplyDeleteThere was a boy in grade school that use to tell me I was coot. Maybe this is what he was talking about.
Wow! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell I confess that I had to Google Coot. I do not believe I have ever seen this bird before! Learn something new every day...great picture!
ReplyDeleteNeat shot! Did you take it yourself? Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBe well and enjoy the day.
