We are having another VERY snowy winter this year which affords some pretty photos and some fun playing in the snow.
The sled in these photos is Randi's, from her childhood!! Good quality, German built, and is as solid as ever!
The children have got used to their big boiler suits and have great fun throwing snow balls and trying to 'wade' through ankle-deep snow.
I am sure that there will be more winter pictures to come.

We hope that you had a good Christmas too.
Here are some photos for you.

Prof. Photo Shoot 2010
Randi works for a company which makes and sells prof. cameras. They offered a 'Christmas special' were we could get some photos taken in their studios by a professional photografer.
These are just a few of the photos which came out of it.
Enjoy.

The first snows of 2010
And (remember to read the post below, which is also new!!) here are some more photos.
These ones are actually recent! :-)
So, as I wrote below, none of my ramblings to postpone these great photos of our lovely children.
Enjoy!!!

The last of Autumn (incl. Pop's B-day and jumping!)
Hi Again
Well, I had decided to actually write something here instead of just sending a bunch of photos off, but I can see that if I wait until I have time to write something meaningful, you will never see new photos of the children!
Who wants to read my ramblings anyway?!

Just Another Weekend
Hi All
Nothing really special, just a few photo's of us on an average weekend in the late summer.
Enjoy watching the kids run and frolic ;-)

John and Laurel drop in...
John and Laurel found themselves in our neighbourhood and decided to spend a day with us.
It was strange to think that they would be here for such a short time.
They had informed us that this would be a Family visit with us and not to think about sightseeing of any kind.
I collected them from the Cruise Liner Quay and we drove home for brunch. Then we went for a walk to a nearby park and the kids had a short play there while the “grown-ups” chatted.
The kids have to be fed and in bed by about noon, so we headed home.
The whole family saw John and Laurel of on their “BIG Boat” – as Victoria puts it- and truly it was a very, very big boat! I think John said it had 10 floors, on which there are 12 restaurants, discos, bars, clubs, casinos, indoor pools (also for kids), theatres, etc.
Thank you so much for dropping in Uncle John and Aunty Laurel. We had a wonderful day.
And in the photos to follow you will all see that both John and Laurel have seemed not to have aged a bit!
Bon Voyage!

Two Years Old
Hamilton and Victoria turned 2 years old on the 5th of August and we held a Birthday Party on the following Saturday afternoon.
It was a lovely day, one of summers last, and we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
Thank you to all the people who helped in preparations etc.
And a very BIG thanks to all the guests for their gifts and their company.
We could make use of our garden for the party (luckily the weather was good!) and we had made fruit, snacks, Marit’s Apple-Crumble, Gran’s chocolate cake and of course a “Kagemand” og “Kagepige” (Danish traditional birthday “cake”).
There were, about 30 people in attendance, so it was lucky we could be outside, and it was great to see so many of our good friends coming to celebrate our lovely children.
Here are a few photos of the day (from morning to night!).

Summer (so far) 2010
Here are a few photos of us (mainly the Stars) at home and in parks around Copenhagen.
The Twins love the fact that they can run around without cloths on and play outdoors in the sun and on grass etc.
I'm sure that there will be more photos to follow!!
Enjoy.

Summer Hols. in Flensburg
We had a great three weeks in Flensburg. The weather was hot and the children loved playing outside in the pool (again). It was so hot that we didn't spend much time on the beach. Most days reached about 32 Degrees C. in the shade and once I tested the temperature in the sun - it was over 55 Degrees C. !!!!
We would all like to thank Claudia and Stefen for letting us stay in their house. We had a good time.

Winter is Over
I have been waiting for winter photo's to make this post - but the winter kept going and the photo's of snow and ice kept flooding in!
BUT, finally Ol'Father Frost seems to have given in too warmer weather and I can say a tentative farewell to Winter...
Soon we will be seeing green grass and leaves on the trees and then we will be able to take photos of children without the big over-coats on.

Our Home anno 2010
I have made this video to show how the flat is now that we've been here for a while.
The video is on You Tube and thus available for the WHOLE world to see and this worries some of us...
So I have decided to remove the video from You Tube again after a while.
So check it out now while it's still available.
Welcome to our flat and I hope this little tour will give you a feeling of how we live. Enjoy.

December Holidays 2009
”I’m dreaming of a white Christmas....”
The photos below are a compilation of the whole of our December holidays which where basically divided in this order:- pre-Christmas; Christmas eve and Day and then Randi’s Birthday and birthday dinner.
Pre-Christmas – This is an abnormally snowy winter in Europe and days before Christmas it had already snowed a lot. (a white Christmas in Copenhagen happens about once every 14 years!) The 1st photo is the view out from our back windows. It is so beautiful! This was taken at about 18:00.
Christmas Eve – was spent together with Randi’s brother and us. We had a lovely dinner and then spent the evening opening some presents (which the children loved doing!) and then we put the small people to bed and the big people had desert and looked at their presents. It was a lovely evening. This years Christmas tree should be noted. The ceiling in our new flat is very high up (about 3 meters) which gave us the possibility to get the biggest Christmas tree any of us have ever had. Measuring in at around 2.8 meters, it was a beauty! It is tradition to decorate the tree including real candles which gives a lovely warm light (and NO it is not dangerous – there are special holders and candles for the job.)
Randi’s Birthday – falls on the 26th December and this year (last year) she turned 40… (doesn’t look a day over 22) . With the increased space we now have, she had decided to invite some close friends. So we were a little group of good people who got together to celebrate Randi with champagne, sushi and good cheer! Congratulations Randi! (a note here – we are thinking about holding a larger gathering in the summer…will be in touch.)
Then there were a couple of days of peace and then on New Years Eve we were to be alone, just our little family at home, which proved to be a good thing, as Warren didn’t feel very well at all and ended up going to bed together with the children at about 19:00. He did get up to see the fireworks at midnight together with Randi and Hamilton(!) and wish Randi a Happy 6th (!) anniversary. But then he had to quickly retreat to bed again.
Finally I must explain the last 2 photos - the children are posed in front of a lovely "cross stitch" which Gran (from S.A.) made for them when they were born. It has finally been framed and now hangs proudly in the nursery for all to see. THANKS Gran!!!
Now it’s back to work and day-care and the normal routine.
