Still snow

We spent a wonderful weekend with my mom and dad, the kids had missed them a lot and Emelie did not leave grandmas side :o)

Today was my first day at work. It was exciting and a tiny bit scary. I will be involved in a development project which seems very challenging and interesting. After being "available" for the family for a long time, we all have to get used to the life of two full time working parents again! (Hello, crazy mornings ;o)

I believe it is a little more difficult for the teachers at school and pre-school to appreciate the fact that I, also have a "real career" which is just as important as X's dad, who wears a tie to work... I'm not complaining, just saying that I don't think they would call X's dad if they were short of teachers one day, and ask if he could come to school early... at 1.30..?

Anyway, Nikolaj seems to be doing pretty good already, in pre-school, and Emelie is happy in school. She loves having her girlfriends again, but we all miss you a lot at Pinewoods!!!

We still have snow in Denmark, but not as much as in Sweden, as you can see on the picture! The Danes are pretty fed up with snow and cold weather after 2½ months of it, but Emelie and Nikolaj love it! I have had enough after 1 week. Come spring!

Tooth out!

This is Emelies new smile :o) She didn't even realise that she'd lost the second front tooth.

Today was the first day back in school and kindergarten. It went well for both of them, they have been looking forward to it!

I had a job interview which I'm hoping went ok, so maybe from Monday, I'll sit in a new location. (Still for NNE though.) Now we're baking bread and just enjoying being at HOME!

Leaving USA

The last day arrived and it started with a shock. The fire alarm at Embassy suites in Raleigh went off at 2.30 in the night! Jens was out saying goodbye to his work friends, so I was alone with the kids. We dressed quickly and started to walk the stairs to go outsid. It was cold!! Luckily enough it was a false alarm, so we could go back to our rooms after a little while. It was not easy to persuade E&N to go back to sleep after that!
Anyway, the Sunday we spent with wonderful friends, who were so kind to have us for the departure day, and drive us to the airport. Thank you so much Kirkegaard framily :o)))
It was with a great deal of sadness we took off, leaving the US that we love! We have met so much kindness, and we are so blessed to be able to get these impressions and memories to share as a family!
Now we have just arrived in a snowy Denmark after many hours of flying. It went OK, but we are all exhausted and jet lagged. It is very nice to be in my house again! The smell of home, and my paintings and all familiar things! Now, we have about 250 kilos of baggage to unpack (I'm not kidding...)
