... visiting cousins...

I haven't visited my cousin house for ages...!!! (last time was in Austin, Texas - i think!!! ouch!) During the Christmas 06 trip I made sure to that I visit them. With my brother Iksa as the designated driver.

It turned into a great visit because others were there, too: Yanti, Linda, Benno and Pingkan... Tari served a Menadonese lunch... SUPERB food! Fish and the dabu-dabu was yummy!!!

My Birthday... the van de Bergh(s)...

We met Herman and Elly at Lesti's wedding... and i'd like to think of them of good friends now. What makes it even better is the fact that we've met their daughters and their families (and also friends)... and we liked them all...!!!

This Christmas they all came to celebrate it in Jakarta... and also make time to come to my birthday party....

...more of Christmas Day - this time it's with Mom's family...

We celebrate Christmas at Mom's younger sister's house - just a few house down from Mom's. It was planned or anything... but we were just there...

Roy and his family from Makassar happened to be visiting. Isn't it nice to spend Christmas with your families...? ... See my Tabblo>

... a visit to Elly and Herman...

We're back in good old 'betawi' for Christmas. One of the things we do is visit Elly and Herman whose family is visiting from Holland.
We saw Thies for the first time - Thies is Madelon's son. He's one year younger than indi, but he's bigger already... :-)

Indi had a great time playing with the toys and swimming with Herman and daddy.... ... See my Tabblo>

Emily and Ben Visits

Emily and Ben are the couple renting our old rented house. They were in Singapore for a week-end and we went out for brunch and a bit of sight seeing. We visited the famous hotel that starts with R... Here are some pictures of Indi goofing around with Em and Ben...

Posing...

Along our walks Indi would stop and play with things that he found, took some shots of him playing or rather jumping around this thing...







He loves to pose doesn't he... ? :-)

Strolling...

Went strolling with Indi and Ike... and for Indi it really means "strolling" - playing with his stroller. He'll push his stroller around, sometimes he'll bumped into others, and many times he'll make people smile. Well, just imagine this... what will you think if you see a stroller strolled by itself.... it's because Indi is still shorter than the stroller, and when he pushes it you can't really see him, so you'll think that the stroller is moving by itself.... We've seen a lot of people smile or laugh because of it...

See You Oma...

Indi doesn't like to say good-byes... but he sure likes to kiss... :-) Here's pictures of him saying good-bye to my mom....

Oma's Visit

My Mom was here from October 20 to November 2 for a short break/ holiday. But instead she had to take care of both Indi and I that was down with flu or something like that because of the haze. In the end we got to do only a bit of shopping (books, books and more books... :-) ....) no sight seeing done. She's seen most of it anyway, and we'll save the rest for her next trip.
Here's a picture of Ike and my Mom at our favourite place "Dempsey's Hut"...

Halloween

I'm behind with my posting... :-) so here's the halloween pictures... The compound where we live had a trick or treating for the kids... I bought a Super Hero costume for Indi. I don't think he enjoyed it much though... he's afraid of the ones with scarry costumes (witches, ghosts, monster, etc). These days he's just scared of the black things... and he's also scared of a lot of people... It will take some time before he's back to normal again, and not afraid of those things...

Stephen's halloween costume... cowboy!

Indi with fairies...

More Water Works...

Here's more pictures from Water Works...




Here's a picture of Indi and Stephen:



Stephen and his brother Hayden:

Water Works - Science Center

Water - indi just loves water! Loves to swim, loves to take shower/ bath, splash around, basically he loves to play with water. Early October we went to Science Center with our neighbour and their sons, the oldest - Stephen - happens to be Indi's "buddy". He loves spending time with Stephen... playground time, racing their car/ scooter, watching the movies, anything... Well, that day we let them have a blast at the Water works... They had a lot of fun!
