Today our old friends Hans and Andrea paid us a visit with their 3 kids. We had not seen them for a long time. Hans and I used to be best friends in our teens, we (or especially Hans) were infamous in church and far beyond. Basically since I moved to Amsterdam 11 years ago, the contact got loose. In the meantime Hans lost his wild hairs somewhat, becoming daddy and all. But it was fun to see eachother again. They have a 8-year old son and two adorable girls of 6 and 4, that went along quite well with Rosa and Sara.
\n
I hope it does not take another 5 years before we see eachother again…
