Happy 6 Months!!!

We celebrated Kai's half-birthday last night with her Danish family complete with a flag-decorated table (a danish tradition) and Danish bday songs. Video and pics to follow, but we look forward to being able to tell her that her first celebration was held here.

Meanwhile, we're just enjoying this wonderful ride we're on. We can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring.

Off Adventuring!

Kai's first castle

We are currently in the middle of a 3 week trip in Europe introducing Kai to several sets of good friends and meeting their new children. We had hoped to be posting as we went along, but our time has been filled with actual doing things and we haven't been able to download many pics.

So when we get home we'll put up pics and stories from each of the countries Kai has gotten to experience for the first time. It's been fun to watch.

More soon.

Farewell Nana...

It's fitting, somehow, that after 91 years Nana would choose her son's yarhtzeit to decide that she was done. She lived the most amazing life and was a inspiration to me in many ways, especially in how you can reinvent yourself at any age and what an adventurous spirit looks like.

I'm so sorry to lose her but thankful that the pains and frustration of daily living are no longer with her. And I'm deeply grateful that we were able to get down with Kai last month to visit her. She had a great time meeting her great-granddaughter and we had a wonderful time introducing them.

We'll miss you Nana....

Miss you, Dad. So much.

Wish you were here to enjoy Kai

Just like Mom & Dad :-)

Kai's Bathing Adventure

A little video from Kai's first bath w/o her sling. Needless to say she's taking to the bath like a Duck to water.



Of course, this means that all future baths are going likely be located in the bathroom. Gone are the days of multitasking by cooking dinner and cleaning Kai! :-)

PS Hopefully more posts soon. So far our travel this summer has included the Oregon Coast, Corvallis, California and by October will include Minnesota and Europe. Needless to say we're not giving Kai a taste of travel; we're forcing it down her throat!

We'll be right back....

Off to the coast for a few days...

Mom & Dad -centric post when we get back.
