oh, Abby, Abby, Abby

Yesterday, out young lady has scared us pretty badly. Because of a very bad backache we were forced to go to the hospital where I was checked pretty good.
Finnaly have been told that she is fine and it is my back that gives me pain and not Abby.
But... doctors are so surprised to find out that I have so many blue marks inside of me that they can't believe how active she is. and she is!!! Believe me!!! It was so funny to observe curves when I was monited at the hospital. her heart rate was something like 140. and then... 145...150...155...160... AND....... a BIG, not HUGE PUSH!!!!
What is most important, our precious girl is fine and we are so happy. The doctors still dessagree about the date but she will be here [14;27] of December.

Davids eyes

Yesterday Morten has taken David to an eye doctor. We have noticed some changes in Davids way of watching TV since the last visit to the doctor in early June. He was trying to look like "Asian people". We were not sure if he does that because of the bad sight or it was just a bad habbit. So yesterday we got an answer.
In June David har -1,5 on both eyes, not in October it is down to -3. My poor boy. The doctor and Morten told me not to worry, since David is in a growing stage right now and the effects can be different, like on his eyes.
Now we had to reduce all GameBoys, Computer Games, television and even homework (just a little).

our sons girlfriend

Do you know how hard it is to have a girlfriend visiting you when you are only 5?! Probably not.
After performing at violin concert David decided to invite Sabine over. Well...
Look how happy we are...

and this is what you need to deal with when one girlfriend treats you as a patient...


The result of a date was...

P.S. I admire people who have twins. It is very hard to have 2 five-year old ones at the same time.

violin workshop

Saturday, Sunday and Monday... From 9:00 to 15:00... 3-4 violin lessons a day...

Poor me, I have to make sure that David makes it til the end of every day.
So far it is going quite good, only couple of hysterical moments and no "dead" Davids yet.

Davids group (B) had 2 teachers from Finland that were trying to teach poor kids not only violin but how to count til 3 in finish. Funny but teachers from Finland are using a lot of words, they are trying to explain things 5 year old kids. making their and kids lives very hard, full of misunderstandings. think about it. the teachers tells the children: "Those who can play with fingures "ABC" should stay up and play, those who know how to play but can't follow with the tempo should play on an open string and those who haven't learnt that should clap". 5 year old kid doesn't even know where he/she is, so I am not talking about trying to understand
the sentence and try to figure out which of these 3 group one should be in?

We have realized that teachers from Finland find it easier to teach 25 kids the word "down" in English then to say the same word in Danish....

Above all bilingual kids one of the teachers loves to choose David and one Chinese boy to help, they both can speak more then one language, just not quite English....

I don't understand some of the parents. there are so over their kids that once in a while one begins to think that it is dangerous for these kids to be near the others because of their parents.... One of the moms keep moving other kids away from her daugther... after 3rd time in 20 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore and since I can get away with murder (hormons, pregnant women), I told her everything I thought about her attitute towards other children. That didn't help, so I was forced to tell the director of the workshop, so lets see what will happen tomorrow.

and what do we do during the breaks? Right!!! Homework!!!

P.S. the girl in pink is Davids violin-girlfriend.

9 weeks, violyn and job

It is getting quite hard to be between university, work, Davids school and activities. I am getting so big that it is hard to get into the door, at least it feels that way.

Efter todays rutine check at the hospital we have found out that that naughty little girl of ours was hurting me so much that I am having bruises inside. It is painful but I will survive.

But the most important thing is our little sunshine is doing fine, enjoying her time swimming in me and getting used to all the surrounding noises.

David has been asked to go to Liverpool on the 31st of May to perform on the annual Suzuki concert. So far we said yes and all of us will try to go. But the way, when he found out that Liverpool in England, the first thing he announced that Chris should come with dollars but pounds will be excepted as well.

What else? Morten got a job... jep.jep.jep. In the area where noone would ever expect him to work. Job will involve to manage a lot of people, just like me in a desert conditions.
