A New Hat

We've invented a new type of hat (petje -in Dutch). And we're calling it the Cooper.

Izzy & Co - the Music Video

Our friend Marc, owner of Izzy's late best friend Djoeke, made this compilation video of Izzy, Djoeke and El Diego playing together.

Cooper's Mosquito Net Conundrum

One afternoon we went up to Cooper's room. He had woken up from his afternoon nap and was quietly playing in his bed. Little did we know that he had reached up, grabbed the edge of the mosquito net, pulled it all into his bed and somehow managed to wrap himself up in it... Silly boy.

"Kai-Kai"

At around three months old, Cooper started laughing. One day, I discovered he thought daddy saying "kai-kai" was very funny. I reached for my phone and recorded it.

Cooper's Internet Debut

At 20 weeks an echo was made. Just to see if everything was developing nicely. Unfortunately, there is no recording of all the gynecologist's commentary so I included them here and there in the form of captions.

Skydiving!

For Elisa's 36th birthday we went skydiving over Texel, an island in the north of Holland. We did 5 jumps each and it was awesome! What a rush to jump out of plane, free fall and glide down hanging under your chute.

This is Elisa's fifth and best jump.


This is Wouter's fifth and best jump.


We can't wait to do this again! Jumping out at an altitude of 4km (13,000ft), the sensation as you free fall, the cool glide to the ground, missing the landing area and plowing a tulip field...

Izzy's First Year

Izzy, our wild and mischievous little dog, recently turned one year old. Aside from that being an excellent excuse for a party with friends, we also thought we'd mark the occasion with another slideshow. So, here it is, the slideshow of our furriest family member. Enjoy.

Cooper Z. Rosario, 0 to 3 months

Boy, they grow up fast! In only three months time, Cooper went from a tiny baby to slightly less tiny baby. But even going from tiny to slightly less tiny makes a world of difference...
