First time I met her

We had the christening a week ago.. Here's the new baby with me again.. :D

Oh how sweet she looks and how handsome you are.

Evert, What a nice picture. I didn't picture you so young :) How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? She is a beauty. Have a great day, Kathy

Hey Evert! "You clean up so nice"!! Who is the pretty girl behind you? That baby is a cutie pie...and you hold him so nicely too. Jo

Lizh - He ;)

He was named Mico Christian. Not very common/Finnish names.

The girl behind me is my cousin, and the old man is my grandfather.

:)

ha, ha...I thought you were holding a little girl. I looked at the first post and see now that that was another cousin...born in 2002. Accept my apologies. HE is adorable. :) I guess I wasn't alone.

You still didn't tell me your age. LOL...

Happy Day, Kathy

Yeps.. I though it'd be nice to keep it all in the same thread :)

Oh, 17, sorry. :D

Evert has "grown up" with us here on DG...and what a nice person he is. Jo

Yes, I know he has been here as long as I have and I've enjoyed talking to him....just thought he was older. He is mature beyond his years. :) Kathy

Sorry Evert, He is still sweet.

Oh Evert, you are getting handsomer and handsomer.......boy, you must be breaking some hearts out there.....I cant believe how grown up you look.
Your cousin is adorable,

Hi, Evert! Must be those babies bringing out the best in you - you look wonderful in these pictures. Great to see you again!

It is so cute baby also you are does nice looking man so, I bet lot girls go after you. LOL Am I right? You have girlfriend yet?

Hahah :D

Here's the new baby again, and the cake..

I just found this thread. Congratulations, Evert! Isn't Silja Line a line of cruise ships? And the Seawind Line is part of the Silja Line, I believe.

That's true. Been on both of them. Seawind Line from Turku to Stockholm, and Helsinki to Tallinn and back. And Silja Line so many times I can't even remember... Last time from Helsinki to Stockholm in January.

Update on the kid.. Today at his sister's 2 year birthday party.

I am trying to pack my things, leaving to Romania for a week tomorrow. I hate packing..

Evert, have a great vacation.

AWWW how sweet...he is growing very fast. Don't we have a member in Romania? You should look them up. Jo

Evert, have fun in Romania....

Evert, your pictures are great! Its nice to see Silja at age 2 and the new baby is just precious. You are growing up on us too! Have a nice vacation, inspite of all the packing!

I was going to mention that we have watched Evert turn into a young man, but I didnt want to embarass him.....But I just gotta say......he sure is one handsome fella, our Evert, he is going to break a lot of hearts......watch out girls......

Evert, I would love to hear how you find Romania. So much change there in the past few years, with the ousting of the head of state and his wife ( I believe both were executed, later). Has the economy picked up? Be sure to take lots of pictures to share..........

I agree with you, Pebble. I was thinking the same thing. He's grown up and gotten older, but we haven't ...

:-)

LOL GL of course we haven't....... wonder how Evert is doing in Romania....he usually tries to check in from an internet cafe.

Ha ha :)

I came back on Sunday. Sure was a nice country, cheap, clean and nobody tried to sell us anything like they usually do in Southern countries.

Any pictures?

Evert, sounds like you had a fun time, now....it's time to post some pictures.....and tell us where all you went.

I guess I should set up my gallery again, my brother messed it up while updating it and all the old photos are gone.. luckily from the internet only.

Be patient.. I'm a bit ill right now and the heat makes me lazy :/

ohhh Evert, you need to rest. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I noticed you mentioned the Lutheran Church. We have a lot of Lutheran Churches here. For some reason, they seem to build really modern churches, some almost could be described as space-age.

Same here..! :)

Also the parish houses are the weirdest ever...

This is the newest one, quite close to us: http://www.espoonseurakunnat.fi/fi/dokumentit/1048/uusivirasto125dpi.jpg

Evert, is the parish house where the pastor lives? It's huge!~

No this is actually the "office" where they handle the church paper works and such..

Evert you wear tickle in pink shirt look good on you for my boys hate to wear that color but love to see girls wear Pink.
Did you have fun vacation?

Pink is a nice colour.. Here it's quite popular. :)

Vacation was ok, a bit "slow" with parents and grandma, next time should do it with friends only.. Like Holland, it was great.

That parish house is a beautiful example of modern architecture.
