Twelve &
Counting
12 years of us — and the little forest we grew.
From our roots, we grew
Two people met at the bottom of everything. Look what climbed toward the light.
Twelve years, one road
A few of the moments that turned two into 8 (three boys and three very good dogs).
Our very first holiday
Greetings from sunny Sri Lanka — the trip that started everything.
We tied the knot
The day we said "I do" and made it official, forever.
Max arrives
Nine months after the wedding, our love was sealed with our firstborn.
The church wedding & the party
We celebrated our love all over again — vows in the church, and a party to remember, this time with little Max in our arms.
Still wanderers at heart
Married life, itchy feet — we kept chasing sunsets and new places together.
Alex makes four
Our second boy arrived, and the family grew again.
Life in the sunshine
Soaking up life abroad — sunsets, warm evenings, and that view from our balcony.
Luna joins the family
To get us through all the COVID stress, we found ourselves a cuddling companion. Best decision we made that year.
Our forever home in Spain
We chased your dream across the sea and made it real — the keys to the home we'll grow old in.
Bobby barrels in
Luna needed some company, so Bobby joined the pack — and left no sofa, shoe, or corner unturned.
El peque Ollie arrives
Our littlest brought even more chaos — and even more love. The trio was complete.
Sunny, the diva
And then we added a little diva to the family, just to keep everyone on their toes.
Twelve years of us
Three boys, three dogs, one forever home, and still choosing each other every single day. Happy anniversary, Anna.
From our roots, we grew.
From our love, they blossomed.
Here's to twelve more.
— Pieter, with all my heart
…but twelve years was never all sunshine and roses. I got plenty wrong along the way, and I know it. So before we turn the page — this is your chance, my love. Put me on trial.
