All packed (?) 
Whenever I ask my parents what to bring them from Denmark, they say “yourselves” – the children took it literally, I guess.

Ole Henriksen in the making (?)
The make-up section on Magasin’s ground floor is both Matthias’ and my favourite section of the department store. As Ole Henriksen would say, “love it!”

4pm, every weekday
The best part of our day – picking up the children together – Matthias having us swing in the hallway, sitting on the Indian rug, showing us “his” toys, Izabel literally running through the hallway with open arms towards us, past everyone, holding eye contact all the way. I feel proud at the sight of [...]

When the night falls
Izabel and Matthias pack themselves on the sofa, covered all up, sometimes with a bowl of fruit or sweets. This idyllic moment lasts about… 30 seconds, at best. Followed by getting up and out of the sofa, running in between the sofa and the TV set, throwing toys around or occasionally at each other. We [...]

Hanne, Farfar and Onkel Mikkel visiting
A lovely afternoon and evening with the family – Hanne and Erik had baby-sat Matthias and Izabel during our Arabic course, each Thursday for 2 and a half months – we can certainly sense the bond between the four of them growing stronger and stronger and the children, especially Izabel, developing more trust and relaxing [...]

Projections
(On our way to day care, Matthias holding his lunchbox under his arm, trying desperately to balance the slippery metal box with his woollen mittens, getting slightly irritated and impatient) Matthias: Common lunchbox! (trademark expression in our household, for everything not functioning) 3 steps further, the lunchbox keeps slipping out of his hands. Matthias: Lunchbox, [...]

Welcome 2012
We spent the last hours of 2011 eating food prepared by Kincsem, drinking champagne, listening to the Queen’s speech (interrupted occasionally by Matthias pointing at the screen and saying “grandma”), watching the fireworks surrounding us on both sides of the building, while our children slept throughout the whole insanely loud 30 minutes right after midnight. [...]

Hotdogs without the wauw wauw
Hotdogs are very popular with Danish children – you usually buy them at a hotdog stand, called pølsevogn – Matthias has picked up on the habit and always asks for pølsebrød (sausage bread) – though he removes the sausage, gives it to Izabel, then carries on eating what he calls “pølsebrød”. [...]

All set
We usually leave the house very early, around 7:30 am on regular days – grumpy, half-asleep, always forgetting something – a glove, a hat, a lunchbox, etc. This week the children had no school at all, which means we take our time and first leave the house around midday, no rush, no commitments, all relaxed [...]

PS. Thank you, Uncle Gerard! Matthias affectionately calls the sweaters “snowman sweater from Gerrrraaard”

Skype Karácsony Nagymamával és Nagytatával
This year’s Hungarian traditions were represented in the food (töltött tojás, pozsonyi diós kifli, rántott csirkemell) and our Skype get-together with Nagymama and Nagytata. At times I don’t even realize the extent to which technology defines our relationships. Köszönjük szépen az ajándekokat, Nagymama és Nagytata!

Æbleskiver & glögg with Hanne, Mikkel & Farfar
We spent a traditional Christmas gleewine and apple pancake afternoon at Grandpa Erik’s – I am so glad that the children get to experience “pure” Danish traditions within our family, as Kincsem and I tend to blend both our backgrounds and history from other countries into what easily could be called a symbiotic existence of [...]

Puzzle mania
First there was one, then there were two, then three, four … and not an inch to step on.

Spoiled At Xmas?
Ohh people are getting spoiled around Christmas. Everyone is giving away free stuff to release the expectations of the people. And of course you need a little gift from us. Here is 10 fucking great tracks in random order. Hope you like them. If not, do some drugs and hear them again. Merry Raving Xmas! [...]

A logic of their own
Children’s imagination never ceases to amaze me. Matthias thinks this basket is a wonderful armchair. Izabel seems to think it is an oversized purse meant to be carried around. As for me – I am actually confused why the wash basket is placed in the reading section of the children’s library. On the other hand [...]

Memories of last summer
My parents sent a few pictures (old school, printed on paper) taken last summer, when the children were reconfirmed in our Christian belief (while they both were sound asleep). Kincsem scanned them, so we could have an electronic record, too. I can’t wipe the smile off my face thinking of that huge villa Matthias was running [...]

Mange tak, Hanne og Farfar!
We celebrated Izabel’s birthday with Hanne and Farfar by having dinner at Ulsted, ourdesignated local café for children’s birthdays/baptisms – despite a long and eventful day, both children enjoyed the dinner, not to mention the lovely presents they were showered with! Mange tak for en dejlig aften, Hanne og Farfar! [...]

Valdemar visiting
We had Valdemar visiting us the other day – he is from day care, a little sweet nisse, a Nordic mythical creature/spirit meant to protect us all, especially common during Christmas time. Most households here will have one or two (some even dozens or hundreds) of them hanging out on window sills, by the door, [...]
