The Chinese member of the family

Yesterday morning a photographer passed by Lamia’s room at the hospital, offering to take ID photos of Thomas. That makes a lot of sense: we will need them for applying for the French and German...

Thomas on the way home

He did not get a Mercedes and a very chatty driver like Oskar 2 years ago, but he still got a smooth and safe ride and the driver was very nice too, of course. At home, grand-mère was already waiting...

Welcome home gifts

Agnes surprised Lamia (and me) with presents she got for Thomas home coming: a very sweet card, a stuffed animal and flowers.

The balloon bribe

It’s certainly too early to tell how things go, but so far we are so proud and super happy how Oskar is reacting to Thomas. In the hospital he curiously and carefully observed his little brother and...

An unexpected visitor

So the family was hanging out in the living room this afternoon, when suddenly the door bell rang. Now, you have to know we do not get many visitors. Especially not on a Thursday afternoon. Our life is...

Breakfast

When one is about to be fed, the other is not far away… Oskar continues to be very generous when it comes to sharing Maman. I hope so much it’ll stay like this, but let’s see.

Hilal is visiting

After buying the camera for Levent with me, Hilal came to our place for lunch. Great to catch up and a bit concerning when hearing about the work atmosphere in Brussels. Things have certainly changed...

Red zone, take 2

As you’ve seen before, Lamia’s red gym mat really makes for cool photos. Last time I’ve taken the photo with my 6D and the image quality was great, of course. But the effect of light and red is...

I bought my Bose QC 15 headphones 4 years ago. And I love them. I do not want to get into discussions about audio fidelity versus other headphones on the market. The sound quality works for me good...
