We're back!

It has been quite a while you've heard anything from us....First of all life got caught up with us and when I finally sat down to write our blogger website didn't work. It turned out that it had been handed over to another provider. Luckily my brother Paul got me back in the game and I will write soon about our latest adventures in Asia....
For now: we are all doing well. The girls are enjoying life in Asia. They have become very confident little persons. It helps that they go to a very good school where the objective is to make learning a fun process. I wish I had gone to that school when younger....
In the previous years Ella had refused to follow any classes or activities after school. With all her talents we thought it was such a pity. Recently she went with a friend to her drama class. This happened by accident since I didn't get to pick her up on time. So she watched the class but when I picked her up at the end of the class she was actually participating! She begged me to enroll her. Now she skips to her drama class every week. She really loves it.
We are very proud of her. Especially because she had been so shy and self conscious the last few years. She topped all of this of by performing in a Chinese Fan Dance at school!
Eva has become a soccer nut recently. She is quite good at kicking the ball in every possible way. But with her own signature 'club foot' kind of kick. It's very funny! Yesterday at the beach she kicked the ball around for hours, with or without us! It's great to see her so active since she had little stamina in the past and her coordination was off. She is coming around! Food wise we're making progress very slowly. We have expanded her diet with watermelon recently and we go through tons of it now!
Carl and I are well also. We are currently planning our travels for the summer which might end up being a tour through the Northern part of Australia by RV (kampeerauto).
