July 1999 - California Trip
We celebrated mum's 60th birthday in Los Angeles. Tum helped me get the kids across to LA while Pat stayed behind in Belgium to work. Pat missed out! Highlights of the trip:
- Mum's 60th Birthday dinner in Los Angeles with Zelda.
- Mum's 60th Birthday barbecue in Oakland with Sally.
- Taking a family portrait (minus Pat) - took a lot of kiddy-coordinating!
- Visiting muscle beach with Jasper, mum, Tum and the kids.

November 1999 - The New House
After nearly eight years in our little flat in Grimbergen we finally moved to a place of our own ... and went from one extreme to the other. It has taken some getting used to and the kids really couldn't believe their luck: a garden at last! They spent the first week chasing each other all over the place, then calling for mum and dad to help them find their way back. We now have plenty of room for visitors.
