Bits and pieces

Here are some bits and pieces of what we have been up to lately.

On Silas’ 2 month birthday we had a huge summer party at our home.  We had so much we wanted to celebrate with becoming home owners, becoming parents and with Søren finishing his teaching degree, so we invited everyone we know to come and celebrate with us.  Luckily the weather cooperated and we were able to sit outside, otherwise our house would have been pretty full! Our party was open house style and lasted from 1-5. It was great to see friends and family again and to show off our little Silas!

The next day we headed out of town for 2 days.  Some of our good friends Jette and Carl have access to her parent’s summer cabin so we spent two days relaxing with them.  We took walks on the beach, and lounged around.  It was a lot of fun, and a good way to end our vacation!

Yes, that is right, our vacation is now officially over.  Søren is back at work, and I am at home working as a stay at home Mom until January.  So far everything has gone super well.  Silas and I have had a lot of fun the few hours he is awake each day, and Søren  comes home happy and glad to be working again. These first few days have only been meetings before the students come again on Thursday.  Then the busyness begins and Søren will be gone pretty much from Thursday morning to Saturday evening.  He has to sleep at the school on Friday night so it will be my first night along with Silas.  I am actually looking forward to it, but a little bit interested to see how it is to be on my own with him for 3 days straight!

Otherwise we are just so happy! Silas has slept 7 hours straight consistently the past week! It makes such a difference in our day when we have slept well! We feel very lucky and very blessed.

For our readers in the States we just want to say that we are looking forward to our visit to MN from October 5th-25th, and hope to see as many of you as we can!

We finally got an okay picture of Silas smiling!
