At work...

Almost a month!!! I mean that we live in Highland Park. A month! Time flies when you are having....
We had a wonderful Christmas. Jeff, Joanne and Marianne were here. We had an alternative Christmas dinner, fish-fondue: oysters, lobster and some white fish. Mmmmmmm. We had heaps of snow, we had lunch with J&J at 'the purple pig' in Chicago, we went downtown by train, we bought snow-shoes, all fun. Now back to the normal live. We still have to figure out what that means in our new surroundings: Jeroen's new job, our new house, new supermarket, new pet hospital, new insurance, new dentist, new pharmacy, new bead group, new sounds. All very exciting, sometimes tiresome.
My car at the front door, very lonely, 2 days before Christmas:
The blob in downtown Chicago. And see, no snow:

Start of our Christmas dinner. Tomato, fig soup:
Our tree. After 2 weeks of hard work, we had just enough time to put up a tree:
Man cleaning our 'stoepje'. Nasty job:
Jeroen cleaning our front door steps. He's the young guy in our hallway of 4 families:
A little hike to the lake. Lots of snow!
The lake was spitting ice, heaps of ice. Brrrrrr cold:
