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....

Rolling from back to tummy

Last week Jonas rolled from his back to tummy for the first time - he looked so cute and was really surprised himself. He seems so much more alert by now and he is more fun to play with.

He discovered his voice a while ago but it seems that he forgets it again and when he rediscovers it, there is a lot of happy "screaming" in the apartment.

Jonas - 3 months old

Last week Jonas had his three month "birthday". Here are some new pictures of the little guy:

The wedding site

Jesper, Jonas and I went on our first trip to visit Jesper's parents right before Easter. It gave us a chance to go to the place where our wedding will be held this summer. It was a beautiful day so we took a couple of pics - hopefully the sun will shine in August as well.

The first picture is the actual place the wedding is held
