Bruges

July 13, 2012. Spending a week in beautiful medieval Bruges. Enjoying all the brews. A great way to celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary. You can find the corresponding photo album here.

Hide-n-Seek

Playing hide-n-seek with Cooper.

Gamblin' Cooper

Upon learning that many of his family live in (okay, near) Las Vegas, he decided to start practicing...

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...

Karina and Rob's wedding

September 4, 2010. What a wonderful wedding. Truly a celebration of joy, love and gratitude, as Karina and Rob so aptly call this beautiful day. As the wise Hector Rosario often says; these are the moments that really matter. We are so happy for the both of them.

New York City

May 25, 2010. Making good on a promise made many years ago, Elisa and her close friend Hanneke spent a week in New York City, taking in the sites, doing a little (...) shopping and enjoying the occasional cocktail.

The Pacific North West

August 1, 2010. After a wonderful time with family in Las Vegas and San Francisco, we set off along the coast, spending the next three weeks traveling all the way up to Canada. We saw giant redwoods, rugged coastlines, beautiful waterfalls, sandy beaches, dense forests, pristine lakes and wild rivers as well as elk, a few whales and a black bear. What a sight, what a trip, what a great time!

Hector's Surprise Birthday

July 25, 2010. Hector Rosario (Elisa's father) turned seventy! And to mark the occasion Carol (Elisa's mom) organized a wonderful surprise party. People traveled from far and wide to celebrate and so did we, of course. As a gift we took Hector and Carol to San Francisco and together with Marianne and Jan (Wouter's parents) and Uncle Sam we had a great time. Golden Gate, Fisherman's Wharf, Haight Ashbury and even Yoda, we saw it all!

Iceland

February 20, 2010. One week in wonderful Iceland. A gorgeous, wild country with ice-capped mountains, tall waterfalls, black beaches, gushing geysirs, steaming hot springs, blue lagoons, and boiling mudpots. A fantastic place!
