We are explorers.
Only the four of us, four kids. For just a minute alone in the world. Curious and eager to learn the secrets of this forest.
New ground to explore… Stopping time. There is no time. There is only now. There is only us.

This is our home.
Stepping out our backdoor and walking in to these fields of waterland.
Nothing but fresh air, water and lots of green. Whenever i think of home. This is it.
Here, with them. This is all i need.

Let’s go and see the world,
Make adventures, discover new ways of living, loving, being… just us… treasuring every moment, every second.
Following small streaming rivers, breathing in the fresh air and cuddles all the way downstream.
Stay close to me, i will keep you safe.
Like a lioness protecting her curious cubs. Keep your distance… I will bite.

Aaahhhggg! Het duurt zo laaanggg!
Wachten op iets waar je verschrikkelijk erg naar verlangt is zo er moeilijk!
Helemaal als je een 4 jarig meisje bent die op het punt staat een GROTE ZUS te worden!
Deze laatste weken van de zwangerschap van Haley waren werkelijk waar onvergetelijk! De manier waarop Miley bezig was met de komst van haar nieuwe kleine baby zusje was echt hartverwarmend. Bij elke bezigheid had ze haar kleine zusje en haar rol als grote zus in gedachte. Ze verheugde zich op het samen spelen, knuffelen, verzorgen en het onder haar vleugel nemen van “haar” baby zusje om haar alles te leren wat ze weet. Ze was een ware inspiratie, eentje die moest worden vereeuwigd.
Dit digitale geboortekaartje is eigenlijk helemaal door Miley tot stand gekomen. Veel nadenken over het filmpje was niet nodig, we hoefden alleen vast te leggen wat er al was. Het overweldigende gevoel van anticipatie en liefde van dit 4 jarige meisje… Niets is ge-acteerd. Elk moment in de video zijn echte candid momentjes uit ons leven. Alles wat ze zegt zijn haar eigen woorden die ze de afgelopen weken keer op keer aan ons herhaald heeft. Dus ik schreef ze op en toen ik vroeg of ze deze nogmaals wilde zeggen in de microfoon, kwaen de zinnen er zo natuurlijk uit. Het waren tenslotte haar eigen woorden.
Deze lieve kleine Haley is zo erg welkom in ons kleine gezinnetje.
We zijn blij dit moment te hebben vastgelegd om te koesteren voor altijd.

Liefs, Jolanda, Michiel, Miley & Haley

English version!
We zijn inmiddels een jaar later, en na veel verzoekjes hebben we het gedaan, Miley heeft de voiceover in het engels gedaan! We zijn zo trots op haar! Super knap voor een kindje van 5 in een vreemde taal!

Aaahhhggg Its Taking so looonggg!
Waiting for something you long for sooo bad is incredibly hard.
Especially for a 4 year old girl who is about to become a BIG SISTER!
It has been an unforgettable and beautiful experience to have seen our oldest daughter pine for her baby sister the last couple of weeks of the pregnancy. Every thing she did she had her little sister to come in mind… She imagined playing with her, cuddling with her and teaching her everything she knows! She has been the inspiration for making this birth announcement.
This feeling of anticipation overwelming our 4 year old… Nothing is acted, all the images are real-life. Everything she says in the voice-over are things she kept on repeating to us in the past weeks. So i wrote them down and asked her to say them again in the microphone. Because they where her own words it just came out so naturally.
Sweet little baby Haley couldn’t be more wanted in our little family.
We just felt the need to capture this moment and cherish it for ever…
Hope you enjoy watching this video as much we enjoyed making it!
370K views on Vimeo! Woah… we didn’t see that one coming.
It feels like our little Haley has been here for ever with us. We almost can’t imagine a life without her…
But back then the waiting those last weeks of my pregnancy seemed like an eternity for the soon to be big sister Miley… and then, finally.
On 22 februari 2015 our youngest daughter Haley was Born.
As a Birth announcement we made this video of our oldest daughter Miley waiting impatiently for her sister to come out and play.
Click here to read the full story behind the video.
The original version of this video was in Dutch and we uploaded to Vimeo where the video was viewed more than 370K times and went viral in the Netherlands and Belgium. We also uploaded it on our YouTube channel now.
Watch the Dutch (and original) version of this video here.
We are one year later, and after lots of requests, Miley re-did the voice-over in English, and here it is!
We are so proud of her since her native language is Dutch, and she did it a pretty good job doing it in a foreign language!
Hey there babygirl… so, we are “Fullterm”
It’s okey if you want to stay in there a bit longer… just be gentle on my ribs, they are getting a bit sore.
Your big sister is asking for you every day at least 20 times. But don`t let her or anyone rush you…
You come out when you feel ready to. I trust you.

It’s so beautiful here… its like my pregnant brain can’t register all the beauty surrounding me.
Feeling so happy and thankful i get the opportunity to travel to these new places for work,
