A nice long weekend

We are just finishing a great long weekend. The boys and I have been of since thursday. I took one of these day offs with the kids, that you get as public hired in Denmark (I have 2 days of per child per year, on top of my 6 weeks vacation - no wonder there is no money left en good old rich Denmark) Anyway we went to the doctor for some shots and a referel to the cardiologi clinic here in Copenhagen. Jonathan went to the toystore with his great grandma to get a late birthday present - very exciting! He ended up chosing moon sand, that he remembered Lucas and Ben had. And ofcourse he said, 'when are we going to visit Calgary'.... He knows that Frederik is going in two weekes, but is taking it quite well. I'm so jaloux though, I so much want to go. Anyway, I don't know who knows, but Frederik is comming for some work and will hang around the neighbourhood on the Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th. On the Thursday we also had a good playdate in the afternoon. (we have had a lot of really good playdates lately) Also Jonathan plays a lot a lot with Mark next door. On Friday we were all of for a Holiday (it's called big praying day - sounds pretty silly when you translate it, but hartly anybody prayes these days, and we judt had a great day of. The weekend has been pretty productive and great at the same time. We feel we are moving forward with the old house. NYnne, Erin and Oscar are comming next monday and staying for some days, so we want it to lokk somewhat nice here.
We hung out we the neighbours on both side of us and they all seem really nice (not the cul-de-sac, but still)
Getting the everyday life to go smooth is still a strugle. It takes us over an hour to get both kids to daycare and then to work and the same in the other end. Frederik and I feel everything we do, we do it running, but it will get better we are sure..... The kids like daycare much better now and that makes the drop off and the thought of leaving them there, much easier.
Anyway here is 2 videoes and some photoes. Jackie is asking for photoes from the house, I'll try to get more soon.
Here is Daniel enjoying some good danish desert (koldskål) it's a sweet buttermilch, and I think he likes it.....:)
By the way, he talks so much, so what he didn't have in his feet I think he has in his head.... We hope:)
Jonathan, Daniel and Frederik being creative in the livingroom (we hope to knock down the wall you see in the background, pretty soon, to get a canadien kitchen-living-everything-room.
Is't Jonathan great with his language school. His englkish is fadeing, while he is trying to learn the kids danish, it will be exciting to see what will happen when Oscar and co are here.
