The last week went really well. Isaak is awake for longer periods during the day. He is also growing like a weed. I am suprised at the the clothes he no longer fits into. It is typically his legs and feet and arms that out grow the clothes. Isaak is also starting to look less like a newborn.

Here is a picture from Saturday morning when Isaak and I slept until 12 (in 2 - 3 hour spurts).





Kevin has a long term sub position in Den Hague (The Hague). It takes him about 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there and he has to be there on Wednesdays & Fridays. The position is covering for maternity leave and will go until July 10th. He is up to 5 tutoring students during the week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings). Kevin recently received an offer to teach 50% (which is what he wants) in Hilversum at the International School there, for next year. He is waiting to accept until after his interview with another International School here in Amsterdam. If he were to take the Hilversum position it would be 3 days a week and his commute would be the same as mine, an hour door to door. With the school here in town he would have 10 minute walk for his commute. Needless to say he would much rather have the 1o minute walk.



I will go back to work at the begining of June. I am planning on taking Fridays off until at least July 10th and work from home on Wednesdays (Kevin only teaches part time on Wednesdays). This should get us to August when Isaak will go to day care 3 days a week.



Isaak's passport has already arrived. The consulate called Kevin on Thursday (1 week after we applied). We didn't expect it for another week. Kevin will go and pick it up on Monday and then go to the Town Hall to finish his registration. At that point we can also start his residency paperwork with the Immigration office.



I have been trying to get out every day. Sometimes it is only to the store and to take the dogs for a walk, sometimes we actually make it to the park. It really depends on the weather and whether my desire for a nap wins out.
