Emma 9 years old!

Today, Emma turned 9; happy birthday, dearest Emma! Even though it was a school day, Emma had breakfast in bed and gifts at the breakfast table. She said the breakfast made her day :-)

VVV fans spotted

Pieter and his brother Gerben have seasonal ticket to their hometown soccer club, VVV Venlo. A few weeks ago, they were spotted along the line by television camera's and they had their 15 minutes of fame! Actually, more like 15 seconds, but still ...

You can see the two brothers 19.30 minutes into the broadcast.
Commentary in Dutch: Outside the field, people were feasting, on the field a bit less so ... (VVV played a lousy game, they lost 2-1)
