We have had a busy 2 weeks so far here in Holland. Busy but nice! Our first weekend we spent at a dairy farm in the countryside with all of Hugo's siblings, spouses, and kids and of course, the parents. It was a fun time together. This past week Hugo and I went away for 2 nights to a hotel in Appeldoorn. We relaxed and rented bikes one day. Then on Saturday there was an open house for us and we got to visit with some of our relatives, particularly Sikkema relatives. That was really nice. So now we are one week from our anticipated departure date. We are still waiting for our visa's to be ready. If they are not ready by Friday we will forfeit our flights and wait until our visa's are ready and then try to book flights with another airline. That is not the optimal result but we shall see. Thankfully all is in God's hands!
