house for sale! / Carin and Janneke were here :)
Awaiting Nico’s workpermit (we’ll probably have to wait several months), we already put our house up for sale. We made a lot of great pics in and outside of the house with sunny weather and the realtor loved to use those, didn’t even make some of his own. Since … » full post and pics!
