Damien swimming. He is doing such a good job in the water. He kicks a lot with his legs and are really good at floating.

Liam knocked out after a full day of playing.

Alicia taking a little nap in the shade after bathing in the little pool at Me Mere and Pa Paw's house.

Liam and his big cousin Jamison.

Alicia's new bathing chair finally arrived. It seems really good and she sits really nicely in it!

Yesterday we went to a splash park with aunt Sue, Jamison and Harley.

Alicia loved sitting in her chair and water was splashing all around her!

First week of vacation

It's been a week since we arrived to the States and I thought it was time for a little update for you all. Most of the time we have spent with Ross' family. It's been great to see everybody and to catch up. All the cousins are having a great time together. Damien really looks up to Jamison and Harley and the girls are so caring for Alicia and "baby" Liam.

We had to take Alicia to the doctors yesterday. She had an ear infection and possible strep throat, so antibiotics for 7 days.... She got her first dose last night and she already seems better, so hopefully she will be back to her self in a couple of days!!

This was the highlight of the day - the ELEPHANT!!!

At the merry-go-round.

Alicia in the pool at Me Mere and Pa Paw's house. Something got messed up in the order of Alicia's bath chair so we don't have one yet... Had to order a new one that will be delivered in 5-10 days. Me Mere and I played MacGyver last night and with an old baby swing and a strainer we were able to come up with a temporary solution for Alicia's baths!

All the 5 grand kids!!

We went to visit Clemyjontri Park.

Pooltime

Damien was so sweet. He held on to Liam so hard so he wouldn't fall of the stroller.  It is so nice that they get along:)

Liam taking a nice nap!

We made it...

Thursday morning we left for our 7 week long summer vacation in the US. We travelled from Copenhagen to Munich and then we had a 9,5 hour flight over to Washington, D.C. It was a looooooong flight! The kids were well behaved, but it's hard for them to be still for that long. They had a hard time getting comfortable and falling asleep so the first 5 hours were a bit of a nightmare... :) Eventually they did fall asleep and we got a few hours that were a bit calmer. We landed safely!  

As always, our bags did not make it here.  We got them two days later, which gave us time to run out on a big shopping spree for our "lost luggage insurance money". You have to see the positive in the negative, right?!? 

It was great seeing the family and we are looking forward to spending a fun summer over here!!!
