The three body problem
Evert

In academia, there is a well-known problem called the "two body problem". This occurs when two people ("bodies") are locked in a close orbit and one (or sometimes both) of them is attracted to a chaotic external orbit (the job market) and the other body has to follow the first around.
As you may imagine, this can be a logistics nightmare and a process that is plagued by tough career and family choices.

Last Saturday, our two body problem upgraded itself to a three body problem:

Arthur was born a little after half past seven in the evening. Mother and child are still in hospital, but should be coming home on Tuesday.

Gefeliciteerd met jullie baby!
Now for the important question: is Athur Dutch or does he have the nationality of wherever your job brought you now (Canada if I'm not mistaken) ?
Or maybe did they do the Beatrix thing and declared the hospital room Dutch territory ;)

I would think so given the fact that you are currently working in Canada. However, that was like one year at the university there, am I right? Anyway, I hope you'll manage to settle the situation well. *fingers crossed*

Tineye got it right.
The topping consists of sugar coated anise seeds, colored blue for boys, pink for girls.

Doh! I thought of trying that but it's never worked for me before.

Interesting. Looks like diced smurfs :D.

When simply trying to make one is so much fun, they're hard to resist.
