Red Note

What a great week for our girl! She lost her 1st tooth, we had a 10-minute conversation with her teacher on Tuesday and she is doing very well in school, and today she got a red note from her swimming instructor. She now goes to the last phase. Swimming certificate A is getting closer and closer.

Proud

I am so proud of Fleur. She has been having swimming lessons since November 2005. It all went well, but maybe not as fast as she had hoped. I booked her a private lesson mid January to speed things up a little, and she has really made progress since then. It resulted in a "blue note" today which means she is on to the next phase. As of next week she has to swim with a shirt on. Needless to say, she was very happy. Good luck, sweetheart!

We are the champion

Today Sven Kramer and Ireen Wüst - both from the Netherlands and only 20 years old - became World Champion 2007 in Heerenveen (NL) at the World Allround (Speed Skating) Championships 2007. What an achievement!! Sven even skated a world record (12.49.88) at the 10K. I always enjoy watching speed skating. It is a great sport. The crowd in Thialf went crazy, and I love to watch all the orange.
