  All done! Check out the Netherlands 2007 photo album for the rest of the photos.
  
  Also, I FINALLY put up the Halloween & Christmas photos as well. All 2 or 3 of them. Yippee.

  Seriously Delayed Photos
  
  I've just added several more photos from the Netherlands and I'm still not even halfway through them all, I think. *cry*
  
  I'll have more soon, though, I swear.

  The First Of Many
  
  Driving to work the other morning required us to go past a local cemetery on our detour to take Joep to the dentist for a check-up. Calvin, being the ever-observant observer that he is, promptly asked what all those things where (things being gravestones).
  
  After thinking for a moment on how to adequately answer Calvin's question a) without lying, and b) with enough details to satisfy his curiosity, I decided to tell him that those were memory stones to remember people who were gone.
  
  I failed. Here is what followed:
  
  "People who are gone?"
  
  "Yep."
  
  "Where's yours?"
  
  "I don't have one because I'm not gone yet."
  
  "Oh. Why not?"
  
  "Because it's not time for me to be gone yet."
  
  "Oh. Can you be gone?"
  
  "Uh... no. Calvin, those markers are for people who are gone forever and aren't coming back."
  
  "Oh."
  
  And that was the end of that. Surprisingly enough. Go figure that the most loaded of answers prompted nothing more than a mere, "oh" from He Who Questions Everything. A child who responds with, "why?" to every. single. answer. he is given; no matter how iron-clad my responses are.
  
  A mystery wrapped in an enigma, that one is.
