Apartment sold!

It finally happened - our apartment has been sold and we have to be out of here no later than January 3rd. Our plan is to move between Christmas and New Years though. We think we have found the house we want but it takes a while to settle a deal, so we'll see. Until then, we'll move in with my parents for a month or so - I am sure that will be quite an adventure.

Jonas is good. He is not walking yet - seems a little nervous to let go of the things he is holding on to; it looks very cute. We really like his day care and below are some of the latest pictures.

Back to work

I am back in business again. What a change in the everyday! It is good to be back at work but of course I also miss Jonas during the day. We are trying to find a routine in our little family, so far it seems to work out well:-)

And now a little picture of Jonas in his woolen underwear. He is getting so big and every day he is able to do new little things - it is amazing to follow a little guy like that.

It's been way toooo long...

So just a little update from Copenhagen - it really has been too long sinced I have blogged - however, I have promised myself that I want to try and be better, because what's a blog with no updates!

Since the wedding time has gone really fast. It used to be months before I was going back to work - now we are talking weeks. Luckily, I am looking forward to going back. Jonas has slowly started daycare and it is going well! Jonas is everywhere these days, especially all the places he is not supposed to be, so I wish them good luck at daycare:-)

I have started to swim on our masters team again - it sure is not pretty but I try to go as often as possible so hopefully it will get better... crazy to think that once we did this every single day and most of the days twice a day.

That's it for now. I will be back again soon though....

A wonderful wedding

Well, I don't really know where or how to begin, so I have decided just to post some pictures. However, I would like to thank everyone for travelling all the way to Denmark, and not just Copenhagen, but Aaroesund, a "city" in the middle of nowhere... It means so much to both Jesper and I that you came to share our wedding with us.

The summer is here - finally!

Well, the summer has finally come to Denmark...and it has been really hot. Air conditioning is pretty much nonexistent except for some stores, hotels etc. Jonas has taken the heat pretty well even though it has been a little tough to sleep at night.


Here are some of the latest pictures:

American Pancakes - Help!

I have a problem...

I love American pancakes, preferably with chocolate chips. - most of you know that. I make them every now and then even though you cannot buy the good mix in Denmark. But I get those packages from Maggie, Kristy and other of you nice ladies where there usually is a "little" Aunt Jemima pancake mix in. This Wednesday I was making breakfast to my family, Ole was leaving for Afghanistan again and I thought I'd make a little treat with breakfast. The first ones I made looked fantastic - but already on the second batch (is that what you call it, I am lacking words) they get somewhat black. They are not terrible, but they are not great either. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. But right now, I have to clean the pan every time before making a new batch. I always cover the chocolate chips with dough so that’s not why they get all ugly.

Does anyone have some good advice for me? I may just add that I do not have one of those fancy pancake pans (the flat ones), but I should be able to make them anyway.

Other than the pancake problem (some might add, that it is a minor problem, and I tend to agree) things are great here. I am very excited to see so many of you guys this summer in Denmark. We still have some details left to figure out but all in all I think we are on track. For those of you that don't know, the currency here in Denmark is Danish Kroner. One USD is about 5,3 Danish Kroner. We do not have the Euro but most places you can pay with Euro anyway and you can pay with VISA or similar credit cards almost everywhere.

If you have any questions for your trip, please ask and I will try and help.

Baptism and almost 5 months

So, its been a while.

Last weekend we had Jonas baptised. Ole was the godfather and the one to carry Jonas in church. The gown Jonas wore had been on both Ole and me more than 30 years ago - made me feel somewhat old:-)

Everything went fine and when we came out of church the sun shined. Afterwards we had a lunch at our apartment - it was a close fit with 24 people sitting down at two tables, but all in all a really great day.
And now the fun part - pictures....
