The weather is starting to change. Well, actually it feels the same, rainy! It is just starting to get cold out. My jackets I have just weren't doing the job with rain and cold. So I found myself a new coat and I think it's pretty swell. Long with a hood is what I needed most. I think it's the most I have spent on a coat, ever! Though, its not that much money ($80) for a nice coat. I just feel guilty for spending that much on anything. I am happy I have it though!
Even though we have had rain all last week was gorgeous. I had Annika and her friend Ingrid in town from Norway. Every time they come the weather is amazing. They luck out. When it should be raining it doesn't. I think Annika has magical powers! The girls were a lot of fun. I had to work a lot, but they seemed to be happy to find their own way around. We went to the Jordan Market in Amsterdam on Saturday. I LOVE that market! Sunday I had to work, but in the evening Annika treated us to the Amsterdam Orchestra at the ConcertGebouw (Concert "Hebow") in Amsterdam. I really enjoyed it more then I thought I would. You have to have a little culture in your life I suppose! It made me miss playing Viola. Then I remembered I was never that good at it! haha Monday the girls went home. After a long week I was EXHAUSTED.
Now, I get to prepare and rest for some more visitors next week. Man time is FLYING. On the 2nd of October (next Thursday) a good friend, Rachael, and Becky's sister, Laura, will be in town for a whole month. As I have mentioned before we have planned to go to Paris and London. All the main necessities have been paid for on the trips. All that is left is food and fun once we are there. I think it will make for a much more relaxing time! I can't wait to see Paris and Disney in October. Plus, London for the first time ever! This all means that October will go soo fast for us. Then we only have 2 months left before coming home!
Myriam has been searching for a new Au Pair. It seems early to most but makes sense to me. It's important to find someone who will be good enough to take over my wonderful job I have done! ;D haha I think there are 1 or 2 girls that she really likes! I hope she finds what she is looking for.
Well I think that is all I have for now. I am currently reading, The World According to Garp by John Irving. So far I LOVE it! I want to make Cody read it when I get home! hehe Funny stuff. Ok well I have to go pick up Beaudine now! Have a grand day...

Is it going to be hard on Beaudine when you leave, do you think? I wonder how she will take having her best friend leave in a few months. I'll miss seeing her cute little face pop up on your blog.
