Heatwave in Holland





Thanks for a lovely visit, Oma & Opa.
We came home to a garden full of blooming roses, which was sooooo nice!
The heatwave you have in Holland continued in Denmark, so we have been in the garden all day, bathing in the small pools - Lisa is using Signe´s old one, which is very nice. Signe had a friend over today, and they both ran around in bathing clothes all day. Lovely!
I planted the "Kaprifolie", so cross your fingers!
(yes, the pictures are messed up, the top one is the roses in our garden - some of them. The next is the Kaprifolie we stole in Oma´s garden and planted at home, the third is Lisa´s pool in the garden, and the bottom is Oma and Lisa)

World Championship!




Uncle Mark was so kind to send us a little package with some celebration-items, now that Holland was playing against Denmark. He wanted to make sure we cheered for the right team... ahem...
No, we have not been beaten up - yet ;-)

Rainy days






Unfortunately my computer broke down, so I havent been so good at updating the blog recently. But here goes... Uuuh, alot happened, I guess. Signe and Lisa are both growing extremely fast; Signe is about to go on summervacation from school, and in August she starts 1st grade. She reads now and getting pretty good with numbers as well.. Big girl! Lisa is becomming very much a rascal - like her father - and she wants to do everything all the time - at once. She can be quite the handfull nowadays.
Odin is busy at work, and Im slowly getting back to work as well. I attended some meetings and such, to plan the upcomming schoolyear.
The house and garden are just lovely! - we plan to paint the house this summer, and the garden is blooming like never before. Its really very nice - and yes, we made sure to enjoy it all, taking out the barbecue and beer :-)

The summedays are supposed to be here, I guess, but all we get is rain these days. Im really hoping for some nice weather soon, we need it after the long and cold winter we had.

The pictures added to this post are just some random ones, from the last few weeks; Signe and Lisa playing together, Lisa and her new swing :-)
