Goodbye

Dear diary,

I can't say it often enough. I'm so thankful for my family. There have been many moments in my adult life that I doubted everything, was insecure and without a life purpuse other then my childeren. Now I have a wonderful family who support me in my job, who love me and are there for me whatever I choose to do. I'm thankful.

My husband is my rock. He did every step of our hard way with me. We have had our depts but we are still going strong together. I'm so proud at him and don't want to live a day without him.

My boys... They fill me with love and proud. I just want to give them love and learning experiences that I never had. I would have loved to teach it to a daughter but it felt like a mission to teach my sons that their future wifes and daughters have rights and a life besides taking care of childeren.

Diary, I'm thankful and I will life my whole life saying thanks for everything.

Love, Charlotte

Le musée des beaux-arts de Gand au plus près de Van Eyck ------- À peine commencée et après des mois de préparation minutieuse, l’exposition « Van Eyck, une Révolution optique » au musée des beaux-arts de Gand - @mskgent - a dû fermer ses portes mi-mars. Une fermeture définitive, les institutions partenaires refusant de prolonger leurs prêts. En guise de consolation, l’institution flamande propose sur son site une visite virtuelle de la manifestation avec pour guide – en anglais – l’un des commissaires et directeur du musée, Till-Holger Burchert. La visite est complétée par le site « Closer to Van Eyck » qui dévoile en très haute définition les vingt œuvres du maître flamand conservées dans le monde. Lancé en 2012 à l’initiative de la Getty Foundation de Los Angeles et de l’Institut royal du patrimoine artistique de Bruxelles (Irpa), et amélioré en 2017, il donne aussi accès à des documents créés à l’aide de la macrophotographie et de la radiographie. Du minuscule brin d’herbe aux reflets sur une coupe, les reproductions du retable L’Adoration de l’Agneau mystique de Gand, fraîchement restauré, n’ont jamais été aussi précises. ------- Hubert et Jan van Eyck, Retable de l’Agneau mystique, 1432, huile sur panneau.© Lukasweb. be-Art in Flanders vzw. © KIK IRPA ------- #theartnewspaperfrance #museedesbeauxartsdeGand #VanEyck www.theartnewspaper.fr https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ZRP2CoTKW/?igshid=1rfyuqt6dhakg

Christmas

Dear diary,

We love celebrating christmas! We didn't do that much when I was a child. But I love to give my childeren something better. They surprised me with new seeds before christmas because they are so thankful for me to make it specail. I was so touched!

The next day it really was christmas. We decorated the tree together, even Izzy came looking what all the fuss was about.

The presents where all very appreciated.

But my family had another special surprise for me! A chickencoop with three chickens! I'm so blessed with my family.

Love, Charlotte

Rafaels 12th birthday!

Dear diary,

My second son is already a teenager. We now have two teenagers in our home. We are getting used to it but I still found it unbelieveble that I'm a mother to teenagers. Time has flown by. Before I know it I will be 40!

Rafael is such a sweet and creative boy.

He loves working out just like his older brother Daniel. They do a lot of things together but Daniel loves books more while Rafael loves to do creative things.

We also celebrated thanksgiving. It was so nice to have us all around the table saying things to be thankful about.

Ismael and Manuel are very happy with our kitten Izzy. They adore her.

I'm thankful for being able to work more and take care of my garden. It looks beautiful and we are saving for a green house.

Love, Charlotte

Manuel's 4th birthday

Dear diary,

My youngest son is already four years old. I have to admit that I waited for this day. It's nice to be done with toddlers and have finaly some me time during the day. But I love my little Manuel and it's sad he is already this big. I can remember so clearly when he was born. I cherised these four years with my little boy.

Lukas baked him a blue cake, Manuel was so excited!

My little big boy!

We bought him a kitty for his birthday. He loves cats so we thought this was a nice gift for him.

He is totaly in love with little Izzy. She is a sweetheart, very curious and friendly to all of us. We already are seeing these two bonding. They play together all the time.

Love, Charlotte

7, 16, and 42 for Charlotte & Lukas

thanks for your ask

7. What do they argue about?

Charlotte and Lukas argue not very much. It mostly happens when Charlotte is insecure about something and doesn't say it right away. Then Lukas is like 'what is wrong? what did I do?' until Charlotte says what's going on. It's one of the things that she got from her childhood as the eldest being in charge of little brothers and siblings and without proper attention for her own emotions.

16. What would they consider quality time?

Just hanging out on the couch or, eating together. Since Lukas loves to cook they often have a big diner they will enjoy together. Going out is not necessary when you married a cook.

42. Have they ever been jealous?

Because Charlotte might be insecure from time to time, she is sometimes jealous when a other woman gets attention. But Lukas always knows how to show her affection so it fades soon.

Family portrait

Dear diary,

We made some new family photo's! So exciting to have new photo's of our little family. I feel so blessed with my husband and my four sons. I couldn't be more happy.

While we waited for everyone to be ready. My eldest and youngest started playing together. Sometimes it's rough having a teenager in my home but moments like these melt my heart. He is so sweet with his little brother. They differ 9 years but that doesn't effect their brotherbond.

Daniel asked for a soccerbal recently and he has been playing a lot. Rafael likes to join him and wants to learn to play soccer too, just like his older brother.

There was also sad news with the death of my grandfather. We didn't see them much but I grew up to my grandparents living around the corner. I saw them often and I love them both very much. I'll miss my grandfather.

It was weird to go back for the funeral. I don't visit my family often. We differ to much about modesty, birth control, genderroles and so many more items. I just can't do discusions about this over and over again with my family. There are some brothers and sister who don't follow their rules that much either. They are the ones I keep in touch with a little bit. And ofcourse my twinsister, Lucy. But our lives are completly different. She has seven childeren already.

Love, Charlotte

Daniel's birthday

Dear diary,

We moved! We have been living in our home for 4 years now. We moved in when Ismael was just a little baby and since then we had another little boy, Manuel. We outgrew our home a little bit, with three sons going to school in the morning we needed an extra bathroom. And some more space for the childeren to have their own little corner was also on our wishlist.

We found this two story house with five bedrooms and a study. It has one big living area with the livingroom slidely lower. We now have a little corner for the diningarea. Lukas loves it, in our first home we didn't have a diningarea so he was so happy in our old house to be able to have a diningtable. And now he has an area to create dinerparty's.

Downstairs is also the study and our masterbedroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms for the boys. They each have one of their own now and they are all very happy about it. And they have two bathrooms upstairs. In the loft is also a playarea for them. And you can look from the loft into the livingroom and the kitchen. It's very nice.

We also have a huge backyard. The childeren love playing outside and I can expand my garden even more. After we saved some money because all of it is currently in the new house.

The first birthday in our new home was Daniel's birthday. He is already 12 years old! My first teenager! I can't believe my baby boy is already this big. I remember him being a baby like it was yesterday.

He is such a bookwurm and very smart. He already has plans to go to college one day. I'm so proud at him!

Love, Charlotte

A special diner

Dear diary,

Lukas is a important cook at the restaurant he works at. The childeren are always asking him if he could make a diner at home like he does when he is working. Lukas recently took the change when we had something special to celebrate.

We all dressed up, even little Ismael. He had his own little diner before ours. Lukas really overdone himself. He made a three course diner for us, a salade, then the main meal, and for desert applepie. It was so incredible delishes!

And the boys where very excited with our news! They will have another little brother or sister soon! I'm due in six months when Ismael will be two and a half years old, Rafael will be 7 and Daniel 9. We are so thankful to recieve a fourth child.

Lukas and I did agree this would be our last child. We will be 29 and 32 when the baby arrives. So by the time he or she will be 18 we will be 47 and 50 years old. We would love to have time for ourselfs to travel before we grow old.

Love, Charlotte

Baby Weber #3

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with another baby boy. The boy's are very excited about their new baby brother. We named him Ismael David Weber. Ismael means 'God will hear'. We believe it's such a beautiful meaning for our little boy.

Little Ismael came on thanksgivingsday. Very special and a extra thing to be thankful about. Lukas was the sweetest. He cooked the meal, cleaned the mess and did the dishes.

Love, Charlotte

Rafael's birthday

Dear diary,

My youngest is already 4 years old! Time flies when you are having fun and when you are buzy.

Rafeal is such a sweetheart. He never does anything wrong. And he loves to play with his big brother Daniel. We are blessed with him in our life.

Since our youngest is now four years old and we are settled in quite a bit. Me with my job, Lukas with his job, we started thinking about maybe trying for another baby. It would be nice to have a little girl in our family or another boy for the boys to play with.

Love, Charlotte

[fundiesimsfamily]

A job?

Dear diary,

My son Daniel has been enjoying school. He needed more challenge then I could provide at home or at a private christian school. He got a sience project to do at home and he was over the moon about it. Ofcourse both me and Lukas helped him with the project but he did most of it by himself. So proud of my big son.

For the past year I have been thinking of something more to do then being a wife and mother. I needed something to do that I could do while still being a wife and mother. Finaly I found it! I'm trying to arrange flowers and sell them. I already had a flower in my garden and I bought another one so I don't have to buy flowers. Everything that I earn is provit.

I love that I have something more to do.

Love, Charlotte

Weekend

Dear diary,

Lukas works now all week from early mornings to late at night. So the boys don't see there father often. We try to use the weekends to make up with that. We often go somewhere special to have quality time with our boys. It's so much fun.

We went to the parc and to the swimmingpool in the last two weeks. Daniel loves it but Rafael sometimes makes a bit of a fuss when he can't join his older brother at the big play things or in the big swimmingpool.

I bought a new swimmingsuit for our outing to the swimmingpool. I always wore a long dress when swimming. But it isn't handy at all while swimming. So I'm trying out something a little smaller. Lukas loves it and so do I.

We have been thinking about moving recently. We want a bigger house for our little family. We now have only two bedrooms, one for Lukas and me and one for the boys. But that is also where Lukas has to do work from home. So we want a place with three or four bedrooms.

For now we don't have enough money to buy a new place. This has me thinking even more to start working myself. I want to do something more then only sitting at home, cleaning, cooking and taking care of the childeren.

Love, Charlotte

Rafael's birthday

Dear diary,

My little boy is already one year old! Rafael is thrilled to join his big brother in their bedroom. And I'm looking forward to them playing together.

We really didn't had enough support to stay missionairs forever. And Lukas discovered he really loved cooking so he is working now in a restaurant to learn the skills. Lukas is already practicing at home.

And I made a big change to my wardrobe. I started wearing pants. I found nothing in the bible to say about not wearing pants as a woman. I also had moments where I though pants would be more modest then skirts. Lukas didn't mind at all that I started wearing pants. He encourres me so much.

Love, Charlotte

The pub

Dear diary,

Since our little Rafael has been born we are not on the missionfield but Lukas saw there was a need for missionairs in our hometown. He is going into town on a regualar basis to tell people about the Lord.

I'm doing my part at home, invited lady's from our neighborhood. I'm really making friends like this and I'm loving that part of being missionairs.

I started something new in our backyard. I'm trying to garden. So far nothing to harvest but I love seeing plants grow so far.

Love, Charlotte
