We had a great time on the Danish island of Bornholm this summer.
And because a picture is worth a thousand words I will spare you the words.
I will just say that the first half of the photos are from one summer house and the second half from another.
Thank you Steen for letting us use your lovely house for our first week in Bornholm.
Now we are introducing the children to daycare and we will be moving flat soon... So daily life will start to take form again after a lovely long summer holiday with our beautiful children in some beautiful places.

The BIG 1st Birthday Party
We had a wonderful day with some lovely friends in a beautiful park with great weather and celebrated our fantastic children...
It sounds perfect....because it was!
Thank you all for coming and joining us in celebrating the past year with Hamilton and Victoria.
Thank you for all the great presents and your company. And thank you ALL for being there in some way or another helping us out with the sometimes daunting task of having twin babies.
The babies have grown and become small children and demand less of us now. They will soon be going into daycare and a new era will begin...
Anyway, we all had a perfect 1st Birthday Party and here are some photos of our special day in the park.

This is just a quick note to remember the Twins 1st Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Victoria and Happy Birthday Hamilton!!
We love you both very much and look forward to celebrating you on Saturday with some friends.
This past year has been so eventful. It is amazing to think back and know that we've survived the first hard part...and can look forward to "surviving" the rest ;-)
Congratulations to our little, new, family.

Flensburg - Summer '09
We have just returned from a lovely three weeks in Flensburg, Germany.
Randi’s mother lives in this far northern fjord city which borders Denmark, as do a number of her friends.
We were very lucky to have the use of the ground floor of Claudia and Steffens (Two friends) house with garden and all!
This was also the first time we had put the new station car to real use. It did very well! Completing the 3 – 4 hour trip on less than half a tank of Diesel and the return trip with the car loaded (incl. roof carrier!) on half a tank. A good, economical car.
On the trip down to Flensburg and the following week, we experienced heat-wave temperatures. The sun baked down on our umbrella which shaded the “splash pool” and naked baby bodies in the back garden. The kids LOVED it! (See photos.)
On the first weekend we took a trip (1-2 hours drive) down to just south of Hamburg (over the Elba river) to visit Randi’s aunt Jutta and her family.
The sun was still welcoming us to Germany in a big way and the babies took the opportunity to take a quick dip there too.
This area is “Cherry country” and it was cherry season so we picked; bought and ate huge amounts of the best cherries ever.
On the way bake to Flensburg we had a little traffic jam on the “Autobahn” and came to an absolute stop and stayed there for at least 45 min. Victoria got her first driving lessons. (See photo.)
For the rest of our stay in Flensburg we had a mix of very good warm weather with a number of heavy rainy days which came with refreshing cooler air. We were at the beach twice and the children bathed on both occasions. They are real water babies and loved the not too warm water. We couldn’t spend much time on the beach though, as we are careful of their baby skins and the suns harsh rays. But the back garden with umbrella was perfect.
A very big thanks must go to Claidia and Steffen for letting us stay in their very “baby/toddler friendly” apartment and to Flori for baby sitting for us a couple of times letting the parents enjoy their first nights having dinner out!
Enjoy the photos which follow.
