Chinese New Year.

For the second time we celebrated Chinese New Year at Tim and Amy's. We made delicious dumplings and boiled them with all sorts of ingredients creating a hearty broth.

Family visit to Barcelona.

Naia, cute, happy, calm. 

Floyd feeling excited about life. 


Naia and my parents in front of phallic building in Glòries,
an area that's being renovated to spread the tourists out a bit more. 

The new Design Museum.


I really enjoyed the graphic design exhibition curated by Clase. Fine examples of illustration combined with graphic design.

Nice views on the top floor. 

Fancy infographics. 

The new construction for Els Encants works well, I found it still has its original atmosphere and allows the sellers to leave their belongings there overnight. 

Forced smiles because we were all hungry at this point, it was gone three pm. 

Can you see the hunger in my eyes?

Motherly love.

Delicious paella that gave me indigestion.

Family of four. 

Naia loves cuddles and kisses. 

Specially mama's kisses. 

Calçotada!

Trying to squeeze every bit of love out of them.

David's surprise birthday party.

Getting ready for the surprise. Nervous giggles. 

David was in shock for a minute or two. 




Delightful balloons!

Art Rotterdam 2015.

We had Saturday at Art Rotterdam. Unfortunately I couldn't get all the artist's names, so if any of you know who the pieces are who's author isn't stated, please let me know.
Installation by Edwin van der Heide. 

Losing sight of ART. 



These floating bowls made nice tinkling noises. By Céleste Boursier-Mougenot

These photomontages were one of my favourite pieces. The artist has a collection of found photographs that he collected over the years. He matches them up and then magic happens. I don't know the artist's name, sadly.
