Finally Well!

The Brinks have been battling some winter colds/flus/strep infections and (knock on wood) it looks like we are finally coming through it all! It has been quite the 3 week span of aggravation. We are looking forward to having a relatively normal week back. Annelies will go to story time on Monday and hopefully we'll have some playdates. Other than the illnesses the girls are doing fantastic! Elin is talking up a storm- this morning she informed Hans and I that "Olijfje has to get down because it's too dangerous." She had jumped up onto our dresser. Too funny! She is also making big steps towards potty training- she uses the toilet once or twice a day and is excited to soon be wearing underwear and pull-ups like her big sister. Annelies is thrilled that we have signed her up for school- she doesn't start until September, but would go tomorrow if we let her! Hans and I are both doing well, not too much new to report. We hope that all is well in your corner of the world!
