Upon learning that many of his family live in (okay, near) Las Vegas, he decided to start practicing...

We've invented a new type of hat (petje -in Dutch). And we're calling it the Cooper.

Cooper's Mosquito Net Conundrum

2011-11-07T16:52:00.000-08:00

One afternoon we went up to Cooper's room. He had woken up from his afternoon nap and was quietly playing in his bed. Little did we know that he had reached up, grabbed the edge of the mosquito net, pulled it all into his bed and somehow managed to wrap himself up in it... Silly boy.

"Kai-Kai"

2011-11-07T16:12:00.000-08:00

At around three months old, Cooper started laughing. One day, I discovered he thought daddy saying "kai-kai" was very funny. I reached for my phone and recorded it.

Cooper's Internet Debut

2011-11-07T16:09:00.000-08:00

At 20 weeks an echo was made. Just to see if everything was developing nicely. Unfortunately, there is no recording of all the gynecologist's commentary so I included them here and there in the form of captions.

Skydiving!

2011-11-07T16:02:00.000-08:00

For Elisa's 36th birthday we went skydiving over Texel, an island in the north of Holland. We did 5 jumps each and it was awesome! What a rush to jump out of plane, free fall and glide down hanging under your chute.

This is Elisa's fifth and best jump.

This is Wouter's fifth and best jump.

We can't wait to do this again! Jumping out at an altitude of 4km (13,000ft), the sensation as you free fall, the cool glide to the ground, missing the landing area and plowing a tulip field...

Izzy's First Year

2011-07-15T03:06:00.000-07:00

Izzy, our wild and mischievous little dog, recently turned one year old. Aside from that being an excellent excuse for a party with friends, we also thought we'd mark the occasion with another slideshow. So, here it is, the slideshow of our furriest family member. Enjoy.

Cooper Z. Rosario, 0 to 3 months

2011-06-17T08:46:00.000-07:00

Boy, they grow up fast! In only three months time, Cooper went from a tiny baby to slightly less tiny baby. But even going from tiny to slightly less tiny makes a world of difference...

September 4, 2010. What a wonderful wedding. Truly a celebration of joy, love and gratitude, as Karina and Rob so aptly call this beautiful day. As the wise Hector Rosario often says; these are the moments that really matter. We are so happy for the both of them.

The Pacific North West

2010-09-01T05:34:00.000-07:00

August 1, 2010. After a wonderful time with family in Las Vegas and San Francisco, we set off along the coast, spending the next three weeks traveling all the way up to Canada. We saw giant redwoods, rugged coastlines, beautiful waterfalls, sandy beaches, dense forests, pristine lakes and wild rivers as well as elk, a few whales and a black bear. What a sight, what a trip, what a great time!

Hector's Surprise Birthday

2010-09-01T05:26:00.000-07:00

July 25, 2010. Hector Rosario (Elisa's father) turned seventy! And to mark the occasion Carol (Elisa's mom) organized a wonderful surprise party. People traveled from far and wide to celebrate and so did we, of course. As a gift we took Hector and Carol to San Francisco and together with Marianne and Jan (Wouter's parents) and Uncle Sam we had a great time. Golden Gate, Fisherman's Wharf, Haight Ashbury and even Yoda, we saw it all!

Yohana and Mutz's wedding

2009-05-20T10:37:00.001-07:00

June 7, 2008. As you probably know, Elisa and I had a fantastic vacation in Peru last year. The main reason for our visit was to attend the wedding of my brother-from-another-mother Mutz and his lovely bride Yohana. The slideshows of our trip poorly reflect this wonderful day and so, without further ado, here you go, the wonderful wedding of Yohana and Mutz. Enjoy. You can find the corresponding photo album here.
