Look alike

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:56:00 +0000

The first very time I saw Matthew, my words to hubby was "he looks like Jason isn't it". What do you think?? They were the same clothes and the same ages when I took these photos.

Mother's day 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:39:00 +0000

This year, I got a poetry and foto from Jason. He asked me to make a video when he read that poetry for me :D

We made a family photo, only too bad the result was not too good. I tried to fix it with Photoshop Elements but yeah... I can't make it better than this is :((

Flowers day in Anna Paulowna

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Sat, 12 May 2012 05:58:00 +0000

I have been very busy lately, so...this post is little bit late. It was our first time to visit this Flower's day event in Anna Paulowna (29 April 2012) and we are sure want to visit this event again next year. My first impression with houses in there are lovely and peace neighborhood. These are the photos that we took while we were there.

This one was awesome isn't it.

Jason found a playground there, so...we stop a few minutes and let him played.

I can't decide which photos to share, so...these are the slideshow I made. You can see all the flower's day photos that we took.

This one is special, because I took while we were in a car and the car was riding. I thought I could not make a good shot, but i was wrong :D

All photos were taken with my new lens.

Stunt Riding

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Thu, 03 May 2012 08:39:00 +0000

As I said on my early post. We were watching the Future Guys - Stunt Riding team when they were performance in our village on Spring events few weeks ago. These photos were taken with my Nikon lens 55-200mm. I was SO happy and proud because the results of the photos were excelent.

Few days ago, I created few photos with adobe photoshop element into these..... It took me few HOURS until I finished all 5. It is NOT easy but it is really worth. They looks special isn't it ^___^

There rest of their action can be seen in these slideshow.

April's BLESS

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:00:00 +0000

1. Today is Matthew 10 months.

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:16:00 +0000

It's been awhile that Jason doesn't want to hug me or kiss me before I leave him at school. He is a big boy :D I have to steal a kiss every time hi hi hi hi.... Last Friday, I told him.

Me: Today I am SO sad, Jason.

Jason: Why?

Me: Because it's been awhile that I don't get any hug or kiss at school.

Jason: Ooowww....that. But I always hugs and kisses you at home.

Me: Yeah....but I want a hug and kiss too at school before I left you with the teacher and classmates :D

Jason: OK...ok...In one condition.

Me: Tell me then....

Jason: You have to be patient with me when I am putting my pyjama after take a bath. Don't rush me

Me: Sound great. So...I will get a hug and a kiss next Monday.

Jason: Yep.

Yippppppeeeee....

At Ballorig

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:49:00 +0000

On Easter's day, we went to inside playground called Ballorig. For me and Jason, it was our first time to play bowling :D

I don't finished all the 1 hour bowling game because I was afraid that Matthew got tired before he could played lots on Ballorig. So....Hubby and Jason continued played bowling meanwhile I went with Matthew to other parts of Ballorig.

It was Matthew's first visit to Ballorig. He looked so happy while we were there. Lots of colors and new things for him. We were happy because the children looked SO happy and having fun.

He looked so exciting while riding this horse with music and everything. It was NEW for him :D

9 Months Matthew's development

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:00:00 +0000

Become Stronger

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:52:00 +0000

Yesterday was not my day but it was my GREAT day.

"Being from a different country and speaking a different language then the language you grew up with, is not easy. Although I have been living here for about 7,5 years, I still have moments that I am feeling sad and lonely. I can't get those people from my mind staring at me when they don't understand what I am trying to say."
(post cross from picturing of life)

Every day Jason asks, "What are you cooking for today, mama??"

Me: Sorry, today I am not cooking. We just eat from what I bought from the supermarket, OK.
Jason: It's OK, mama.

Me: Sorry, I just tired and I am not perfect mama.
Jason: For me, you are PERFECT, mama.

Me: Thanks.

I got BIG hugs and kisses from him ^___^

Thanks to them, I am strong.

Flower Exhibition March 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This year theme was London. I was glad that we could visited this kind of flower exhibition again. Last year, we didn't go there because that time I was pregnant. As usual, I took lots of photos and still not all of them I could upload to my Flickr account.

8,5 months Matthew's development

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:06:00 +0000

* He could imitate us. Example: My fingers tapping on table. First he saw me seriously few minutes then later, his little fingers tapping on table too.

* In the living room, if I start singing his favorite song he DIRECTLY looking our PC. Because almost everyday we spend listening music on our PC. Remember his favorite song, Handjes draaien. Now he could turning both his hands easily when he heard the song :D

* He likes "play" football.

These photos was taken while he was listening music from Jason's laptop. My favorite shots was the second photo. Looks how serious he was listening the music :D

Spring holidays was over. Jason is going to school again starting tomorrow. Mostly we spent only at home, because hubby didn't take any days off. But I manage to keep Jason busy all days :D He did exercise book, learn to read and write, and played too of course.

We went to the playground, too bad the weather was little bit wet that day. We stayed not too long.

It was Matthew's first time "play" at the playground. He looked excited when we were sitting at the swing.

I helped Jason with building the space shuttle from the Lego. We started around 1 pm. This one for started.

We finished around 7.20 pm (pause few hours for take a bath and dinner).

Read & Tough Question

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:39:00 +0000

I have been busy teaching Jason read and write. I am SOO happy because he could read in short time. I was hunting books for him to read from the library. Every day before he go to bed, we spend around 20 - 30 minutes to read or write :D

I read an article about "Who is get the most attention: your child or your smart phone". Without thinking, my answer is my children. Because I don't have a smart phone. LOL.

But if the question is, "Who is get the most attention: your child or your computer." That will be a tough question for me. LOL. It might be a tough question, but my answer is my children :D

Cold temperature

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I am getting slowly these days, maybe because the weather is cold ^__^. Last Friday, there was lots of snow. When Matthew and I went to do groceries during the snowing, all he did just looking the sky. I do have a photo Matthew and his first snow. I'll share later because I don't have time to upload yet. This Winter, may not too must snow like last Winter but the temperature more colder than last Winter.

Because of that, Matthew and I go to outside when it is really necessary. We spent most of our times just inside and do fun. Like this one.

My Dream Book

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 09:00:00 +0000

* cross post from my travel's blog *

When I was a little girl, I had a dream book. My dream book was full of cutting pictures that I cut from magazines or newspapers. Mostly it was landscape pictures. I imagined myself that I was there in that pictures. Besides, landscape pictures I liked to cut pictures where lots of teenagers took a break waiting their next classes. I imagined myself that I could go to college as well. That time, it felt like impossible for me to go to college because we live because of charity from my uncle. After graduated from high school, I worked. With helped from my ex-director where I used to work. I went to college.

September 2004, I move from Asia to Europe (the Netherlands). It was a big step of my life. Now, every day I feel like I live in that landscape pictures on my dream book with two children and a husband that love me SOOO much.

The point of this post is never give up of your dream. Every thing is possible with your believe, work hard and work hard. Don't just sit and do nothing, your dream will not just come to you. Although, I don't have my dream book in reality anymore. But still, I have it in my head. I do have few countries that I would like to visit someday ^___*

7 months

noreply@blogger.com (Juliana RW) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Matthew is 7 months now ^____* He likes watching K3 or Plop music at Youtube and torn papers. I have to keep him busy all times after his eat or drink. Thanks God, he has regular time to take a morning and afternoon sleep. In the morning, he sleep around 2 hours and in the morning around 45 minutes until 1 hour. Can't wait to see him sit, walk and then run hi hi hi hi....

Jason and Matthew were happy received all their Christmas gifts. We had a great Christmas lunch at my hubby's friend and family.

We have a problem already trying to make him take a nap at home, with different house made us had a double problem :(( This is my favorite shot, Matthew and Chris.
