Nov/Dec 2012

Vi har haft ekstra travlt i den sidste maaned; med at flytte, klargoere vores hus til udlejning, og at pakke ud her i det nye hjem paa landet. Vi har ikke saa meget plads nu som foer, saa har vaeret noedt til at faa ryttet godt ud i vores pakkenilliker, hvilket jeg nu tror har vaeret meget sundt. Pigerne og Odin elsker det nye hjem, hvilket er super dejligt - var lidt nervoes for hvordan de ville tage det, isaer katten, men nu hvor vi faktisk har fugle der kommer til fodrebraettet, saa har han masser at se paa hele dagen:-)

Men det er jo ogsaa december, saa har ogsaa haft travlt med at faa pyntet til jul, hilse paa julemanden, koere i juletog m.m.

Isabella er virkelig ved at vaere stor. Hun kan nu selv stille sig op i staaende stilling (ved hjaelp af ting, saasom stuebordet) og i dag gik hun fra sofaen over til sofabordet uden hjaelp:-)

Hun var til 9 mdrs tjek i slutningen af november og hun er stadig hoejere end gennemsnittet, hvilket ikke kommer bag paa nogen af os. Hun bruger str. 12 mdr nu og skal snart i 12-18 mdrs toej.

Emma er blevet allergi testet, da hun gik og sagde hun havde ondt i maven. Det viser sig at hun har min maelke intolerance:-(
Jeg var temmelig ked af det paa hendes vegne da hun elsker maelk og ost, men efter lidt over en uge paa den nye diet spoerger hun ikke mere efter maelk, og naar nu aabner koeleskabet for at tage ost, saa tager hun den der er uden maelk:-)

Jeg ved ikke om jeg har faaet det naevnt foer men jeg er begyndt at arbejde igen paa deltid - jeg arbejder ver mandag og torsdag aften. Det er dejligt at kommer lidt ud og lave noget andet, men ogsaa rigtig dejligt at kunne vaere hjemme ved pigerne i loebet af dagen.

Her er nogle billeder fra den sidste maaned:

The last month has been crazy busy with moving, getting our house ready for renters, unpacking in the new place in the country etc. We do not have as much space as before, which has forced us to get rid of some of all of our knickknacks, but I think that has been quite healthy - therapeutic almost:-)
Odin and the girls love our new place. I must say I was quite nervous about how they would react, especially Odin, but how can he not love that we actually have birds outside now to watch all day:-)

On top of that it is December, which means decorating, visiting with Santa, driving in a Christmas train etc. 

Isabella is getting really big. She can now stand on her own (with help from things such as the coffee table), and today she walked from the couch to the coffee table without any help. Isabella had a 9 mth check up at the end of November, which showed that she is still taller than average, which does not come as a surprise. She is now wearing size 12 mths for clothes, starting to wear size 12-18 mths. 

Emma as been tested for allergies, as she has been complaining about her tummy hurting, and it turns out she as my milk intolerance:-(
I was pretty sad on her behalf as she LOVES milk and cheese, but after being on the diet for just over a week, I must say she does really well with it. She does not ask for milk anymore, and she grabs the dairy free cheese in the fridge when she wants cheese.:-)

I do not remember if I have mentioned it before, but I know work every Monday and Thursday evenings. It is nice to get out of the house and do something different, but still be able to hang out with the kids all day:-)

Here are some pictures from the last month:  

 

Isabella loved Santa, but Emma was a bit scared so needed mommy to come with her:-)

Panorama

I sidste uge var vi paa en tiltraengt mini ferie til Panorama, BC. Det var en rigtig dejlig tur. Vi havde troet at der var masser af sne i Panorama, da det er et skisportssted om vinteren, men da vi kom forbi Banff og begyndte at koere syd paa, ja saa forsvandt al sneen ogsaa og det begyndte at regne i stedet for. Men det var faktisk helt ok, for de naeste par dage holdt det toer vejr og vi fik gaaet en masse ture i den dejlige natur. Isabella og Emma noed rigtigt at have begge deres foraeldres opmaerksomhed.

Vi fejrede ogsaa Halloween i Panorama - men det skal der ikke snakkes for hoejt om for der foregik ikke noget da det var lavsaeson, og da pigerne proevede deres kostumer hylede de begge to, saa vi hurtigt fik dem af igen og helt glemte at faa taget billeder. Vi fik dog udhulet et graeskar:-)

Her kommer billeder fra turen:-)

We were on a much needed mini vacation last week to Panorama, BC. It was a really great trip. We thought we were going to have lots of snow there as Panorama is a ski resort, but when we passed Banff and turned south, the snow disappeared and we got rain instead. That was okay though, as it stayed dry the next couple of days, and we did a lot of hikes in the beautiful surroundings. Isabella and Emma really enjoyed getting attention from both their parents.

We celebrated Halloween in Panorama - but it was not that exciting, as nothing went on (low season) and when the girls tried on their costumes they both screamed so loud, that they came off pretty quick and we totally forgot to take pictures. We did carve a pumpkin though. 

Here are some pics from the trip:-)
