Birthday dinner

This is pancakerestaurant the 'Ossenstal'. We went out to dinner here to celebrate Matthias' and my birthday. I really wanted to go here for sentimental reasons. This is the new built of a restaurant that has been here over 45 years. My dad took my brother and sister here before I was born and took me when I was a kid. I always meant to take the children, but it burned down several times. When I thought of it, it was always gone. They decided to build it again. It is in the middle of the forest. And they have an enormous amount of different kind of pancakes that you can eat for dinner. We had a great time together. 

Mother's day 2009

This mother's day

Henk gave me 

the best gift! 

A bench for

my bears. 

I love it! 

I also got a 

bunch of

beautiful 

roses. 

Lisa and Steven sent me a fun card.  They know how I love

to hear their voices, so they always pick cards where they

can record a message. When I miss them, I listen to it to 

cheer me up! 

But it still was a very hard day, because I miss Whinney so much....

In our hearts forever!

We love you Whinney! 

We will never forget you. 

Our beloved Whinney

Saying goodbye to

our dearly and

intense beloved 

Whinney is one of

the hardest things

we have ever done. 

She has been the 

best you could wish for. 

Soft, cuddly, loving, fun etc. 

A very small dog in stature,

but with the biggest personality! 

She has been a big influence in

our lives and will be sorely missed. 

She was our little girl, our angel! 

Our beloved Whinney

Whinney absolutely

LOVES icecream. 

And she loves 

chocolate too. 

So chocolate

icecream is the best!

This is the way

Whinney and I 

go everywhere...

She loves travelling

on the bike so she 

can look around. 

Especially in the 

summer when it is

nice warm and sunny. 

Whinney always

reminded me of

Falcor, the big 

'dog' from the 

movie:

Neverending Story...

After we took this

picture it amazed

us how long her 

tongue was for 

such a small dog! 

And she can get 

into almost 

anything with it!
