Happy New Year!!!

We’re just back from a trip to Cebu where we celebrated the start of the New Year. Initially we weren’t quite sure if Matthijs’ passport would be ready before our trip, but in the end we could pick it up on last Friday morning. And thus we hopped on a flight at 4pm that same day, to land in Cebu two and a half hours later.

Matthijs has been a real easy traveler at his age of 11 weeks - no real problems at all. Here’s a photo of him sittin’ pretty with Nadine:

We stayed in Nadine’s house Friday night and left Matthijs in the very able and welcoming hands of ‘lola’ (grandmother). Nadine and I went out same night to meet up with some friends.

We filled the days with lots of family gatherings, and it was a great opportunity to introduce Matthijs to so many of his relatives.

Relatives like Grandpa, Mikey, Bea, and Richard:

And Grandma and Mark:

And with godmother Irene and Alicia:

And from all these visits the little Matthijs is pretty tired:
