friends, cousins, parties and rain

Sorry for the lapse in writing. Quickly, we had a visit from Mette and Chrisitne (friends from SF that moved back to DK) Chrisitne and Annika played great - so great to see them together again. Last weekend Erik had his retirement party - they had it catered with a tent in the yard. Merete, Per , Emma and Mads were there - Annika is very into her cousins, but very territorial of Axel (she was not too sure about Mads holding him) SHe followed Mads and Emma everywhere - and although she understands everything they say in Danish, she responds in English so they get a little lost. The party was great and Morten's best friend from High School, Michael, showed up from Copenhagen. He was visiting his family and knew we were in town.
The last pictures are of the rain, it came, and Annika made the most of it jumping in the puddles - and of Axel almost sitting up by himself. He is getting so big on this trip! More pics to post - but it will happen tomorrow.
