Our family site moved to our own server

Tonight we moved this family site from Vercel to our very own server! No more outside database or logins: the site is now simple, fast and completely in our own hands, with every photo rescued and the Chinese translations included. A big thank you to Claude AI for the wonderful help, from the first backup to the last line of code. πŸ¦πŸš€

inguinal hernia operation Tomas

Tomas had an operation on a very hot day, so the airco in the hospital was welcome. All went ok, and the next day he could already walk around a bit. After a week recovery he should be running and jumping around again!

Partial solar eclipse

No more eclipse glasses available so we used alternative ways to watch. (a simple colander, and a home made box) this wonderful phenomenon ourselves. As staring at it directly would permanently damage your eyes seconds. In the Netherlands the next even like this is in 2081!

Our Hurghada Holiday

The whole family jetted off to Hurghada on the Red Sea for a sun-soaked holiday! We spent our days snorkelling in the crystal clear turquoise water, relaxing on the golden sand, and soaking up the Egyptian sunshine. An unforgettable trip full of warm memories.
