24 degrees in the shade.

It only took a day or two for the weather to change, after Romy & Gijs left. And since then, its been really nice, clear blue skies and a lot of sun. We have to oil up in sun lotion in the morning, and again at lunch. Lovely!
We have been playing in the garden a lot, Signe loves being outside, preferably with water. Lisa has been a bit overwhelmed by the heat, and has been struggling a bit, sleeping a lot and being very dependent on mommy.
Its now 20:00 and the kids are put to bed... the sun is still out, and warming alot. The cats are running around on the laws, being very kitten-ish! Lovely :-)

Lisa is still only talking jibberish, but she talks alot! She eats very nicely with her fork now, and when using a spoon, she even tips it on the side of the plate, in order not to spill! - she learned that today :-)

Note: only the first picture is from our warm summer days :)

Spring

On top: Lisa at the Indian-day with daycare. All the kids in town met for a picnic and everyone was dressed as Indians - including the adults.
Bottom: Lisa with Papa, eating a yoghurt.

The birds are singing (and some of them are dead on our doorstep, thank you Gaia and Luna), the garden is green and the kids happy. We have approx 20 degrees on the good days and some spring-rain from time to time. The girls are happy and doing great. Lisa is growing alot, and even though she doesnt speak yet, she understands everything that goes on around her - and she reacts correctly to both danish and dutch. Signe is getting big too, she recently had a performance at school, where her class was singing a song for the rest of the school. Second grade is around the corner, which is hard to understand. Time flies!

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
