June update

Oranje fever subsided here in Holland once the Dutch soccer team disappointingly lost it's quarterfinal match against Russia. There has been some good news here, though, as Elliott's kidneys seem to be working again. He's not out of the woods yet, but he seems to be on his way to recovery, at least for the time being.

Theo's first birthday is in less than two weeks! He's able to stand by himself now, and he'll even take a few steps on his own if he sees something that he likes nearby (like his mama). Any day now we'll have two little boys running around here, and then we'll really be in trouble!

It's been a while since we posted a video clip here, so here's one to enjoy. Cameron had a group retreat the Northern province of Friesland, where he got to soak up some Dutch culture and try out the local sport - Fierljeppen.
