Pappa's latest toy: a double hotplate for making pancakes at the table for Saturday dinner!



Mamma invited her class for a party, and I taught 25 primary school kids how to make pizza. Quite an educational challenge, given that almost all of them have maids at home and have no experience with housework. However, it went very well, and there was enough food for everybody. Maybe I should buy an additional pizza oven?



Inspecting our new house.



Playing together.



Playing at West Coast Park.

Every Sunday we're either at the Zoo, Bird Park or Animal Resort. They love to feed the animals.









Anna even rode a pony. Next time she'll try without the pacifier!

Anna starts childcare

This month Anna started in childcare. She was crying a lot the first few days, but now she seems to be very happy. She also likes being in the same childcare as Edvard, but Edvard seems to feel that his little sister has invaded his domain a bit.



We've also celebrated Edvard's third birthday. We brought cupcakes to childcare. At first Edvard ran and hid in the corner, but eventually he came out and joined the rest.



We also had a party where I baked some cakes. I'm getting pretty good at Kong Oscar, but I still need to work on kranskake.



Edvard's favorite toy is a set of animal cards that Aunt Eva gave him for Christmas. He plays with them every night before going to bed.



He also likes helping Mamma with her makeup.



Anna is a happy girl!



Every Saturday they go to a gym play group.



Blowing bubbles with Grandma.



We go to the Zoo almost every Sunday.

Anna is the hostess with the mostest on the first day of CNY. Edvard is VJing in the background. Given his Dragon Warrior outfit it had to be "Kung Fu Panda"!
