Back on the Blog

Heyhey,

Its been a while since Odin and I updated the blog, so yes... getting back on track here. Tons of things happened over Christmas and new year and beginning to describe it all will take me all weekend, so that's not going to happen.
So what is currently going on here? - well, Signe has her winter-vacation at the moment, and she´s trying to read as much as possible, since there's a "who reads the most in the vacation"-contest in her class. She´s getting really good at reading, she even read the cards herself, when playing "Monopoly" the other day.. owh, and she was also winning big time.. She also has two more loose teeth, so son she wont have any left in her mouth, I think...
Lisa on the other side, seems to be getting a few more, she keeps putting her finger in the back of her mouth. Lisa is really the dancer and singer of the family, she does nothing but dance. Even at the store, she hears the tunes on the speakers, and she starts to dance. She also says "Hi" to everyone we pass, when out. She´s so charming, and does a lot of crazy things every day!
The rest of us are fine :-)

Winter is here!

Oh, so much has happened since I posted something. Signe´s disco party was very fun, and it was very hard to drag her home.
Since then, we had a lot of fun with both girls. Lisa walks around now, almost as if she never knew anything else. She talks continuously, saying a lot of interesting things - than no one understands. Even the daycare Heidi told us that her sounds are very... different. We think its because she is exposed to more than one language... so who knows what language she might be speaking when she begins to make sense.
Signe and I walk home together every day, and the last week has been especially fun. Because its been snowing nonstop for more than a week now, and everything is white and beautiful. Its approx minus 10 - minus 5 during the day, and VERY cold during the night.
(Yes Anita, Lisa sleeps indoor these days, when taking a nap ;-) )

Disco!

Here´s Signe on the way to her first disco-party, with her classmates. She was looking very much forward to it, and she was very tired when she came home :-)

The walk

Today, we can proudly say that Lisa is walking !
She has been starting slowly during the last two weeks but today, she really walked around a lot - and loved it! We can tell she is proud of herself.
And today Signe´s second front-tooth fell out, so she sounds abit funny when she talks - and she looks SOOO adorable :-D

Fairie Princess

At the Zoo, Signe got her very first facial paintjob, and she loved it. It is definitely not the last time she will want this. Yesterday, she was a fairie princess, she said :-)

Zoogirls

Today we went to the Zoo, and along came Auntie Lisbeth. We had a great time - more pictures will follow :-)

Peekaboo!

With kittens in the house, you never know when they are going to pop up from a hiding place. A few days ago, Signe and I were packing her bag for school, and got an unexpected surprise - Gaia!
Another very good hiding place is amongst Signe´s teddys, I almost never find them, if they hide there.
Besides the kittens being a handful - no TWO handful´s, everything is fine.
Lisa just got over a very bad cold, which had spread to her ears and gave her an ear infection. We got penicillin and she recovered fast. Signe has been to the ear doctor too and had small drains put into her ears, releasing fluid, that she apparently build up during the last year. That means that she now hears normally, instead of the minus 30% before. It all went fine and she has no problems with it. Signe is also doing fine in school, she reads almost fluid now. She said that she finds mathematics hard, but she´s dong fine. Lisa is almost walking on her own, her banc is getting much better and he tries hard to get around as she pleases. She keeps saying a word, sounding like the danish name "Dorte"... too bad we dont have someone with that name in the family, hehe..
