Like father - like daughter

Odin looks especially proud in these pictures.... hmm....

Happy Girl

Rain, Rain, Rain...

We are all back in business! - well, almost all of us, Signe and I still have 4 days left of our vacation. Its been a summer filled with grey clouds and LOTS of rain. We only had a few good, sunny days, which we spend painting the house, and playing with the girls. In fact, they say in the news that all the museums and cinemas made 25% more money that usually, simply because of the bad weather during the summer... that's a lot!
Kids and Cats are fine; Aslan is now allowed outside, but on the first day in the garden he lost his collar, so I'm not too fond of leaving him outside, without someone to watch him. Lisa is very happy to be back in Daycare, I think she missed playing with her friends. Signe is looking forward to her first day of school on Monday. This Saturday she starts handball, which she is also looking forward to. Luna is busy teaching Aslan to leave her alone, when she naps...
Oh, and I'm trying to find a rhythm or gym class for toddlers, it would be good for Lisa.
Next sunny day will be spend painting the rest of the house. We did good so far, it looks very nice, all white wood on the house is painted black. I will take some before and after pictures :-)

Macarena

Lisa learning how to do the "Macarena" :-)

Zoo

Today we went to the Zoo. We were very lucky with the weather, it couldn't have been better - but that also meant that half of Copenhagen was at the Zoo... but it was OK, not so crowded. Signe had her face painted and Lisa got to point at all the animals and she tried to say all kinds of different animal-sounds, some were good others very weird!
Lisa seemed to like the Tigers best, and Signe the monkeys :-)
We had a wonderful day :-)

New family member

As you already know, and have seen on Facebook, Luna got a little brother. He is, actually, her real biological brother. When we wrote the owner of the parent-cats about Gaia, they told us about the litter they had. Odin and I went to see the 4 male kittens, and it was quite hard to decide which one to choose. Aslan and his black/white brother were both very interesting.. we talked about it all the way home in the car. During the visit, Aslan had shown interest from we came till we left, so we finally figured that he had picked us, not the other way around. His very handsome, dark brother had been quite indifferent towards us, and only sniffed us once. Aslan sat beside us sniffing, looking, examining all the time... so yes. Aslan was the choice.
Next problem was a name... !!! Signe wanted something she knew from a story or movie, Odin wanted something masculine and NOT cuddly and I wanted something to fit his creamy color.

Luna has been very sweet and accepting towards Aslan. She is still getting used to him here, and wants to be in charge - and he lets her. They started playing a little, but she is not taking the "mommy-role", even though he would like her to. When Luna is outside, Aslan stays close to us all the time... we need to watch where we step! - And if in doubt of where he is, we can go by sound, because he purrs so loud, that we sometimes need to say "shh"!!

Welcome to the family, Aslan.

One week to vacation...

... But only for me and Signe. Odin and Lisa will have to wait a little...
Lisa had a few days with fever and being cranky. We have no idea why, she didnt really seam sick, other than the fever, however, we heard about alot of other children with fever, so she might just have caught something somewhere. She´s fine now, and happy as always.

Signe went to a trial-lesson for Handball yesterday, and absolutely loved it. Many of her friends from school is on the team, so she´s now all excited about playing handball - great! Her and I recently bought tickets to this years "Cirkus Summarum", which she is looking very much forward to.
