This is our family page, containing a small number of pictures concerning our family, our son Matthijs and
our daughter Ilse. These pictures are not frequently updated, so that their webpresence is relatively small.
Our Family
Our family consists of Karin, Niek, Matthijs and Ilse.
Below are a number of images, in reverse chronological order (i.e., most recent pictures are on top).
My uncle John Wijngaards has digitized pictures from the early 19ties and made these available in this gallery.

Ilse
Below are a number of pictures of Ilse, in reverse chronological order (most recent pictures first!).
|
To be announced.

Ilse in her crib, surrounded by toys, enjoying herself (July 23rd, 2006).
|
|
A close-up of Ilse, who is looking at a toy in her crib (July 23rd, 2006).
|
|
Matthijs gets to hold Ilse - a real treat! And Ilse does enjoy it, although sitting up requires still a lot of attention (she's almost three months old now, on July 11th).
|
|
Matthijs is very curious about his sister. He really wants to see her, kiss her, point out her eyes, hands, cheeks, ears, mouth, ears, cap... He sometimes brings her toys or a blanket, and talks now (April 20th) about "Papa, Mama, Matthijs, Baby".
|
|
Ilse already has a clear, open, look in her eyes. Not quite as blue as Matthijs' eyes were, so we're curious about the eventual colour.
|
|
Ilse is born on Friday April 14th, 2006. This is one of the first pictures!
|
|
On Friday April 14th 2006, our daughter Ilse was born! The card (80 Kb pdf; for help with PDF-files, click here)
is available here in Dutch, but it is fairly safe to assume that you'll
understand it!
This card was also acquired from Mamamila's collection.
