Besøg af Kath og pigerne -- visit from Kath and the girls

I sidste uge kom Kath, Ellie og Erin på besøg for at møde Magnus. De havde taget gaver og frokost med. Rikke har kendt Kath siden de begge flyttede til Oxford for at arbejde med hjemløse. Kath og hendes famile bor nu i Walthamstow hvilke er circa 10 minutters kørsel fra vores hus.

Tur i parken -- Trip to the park

Denne blog handler om Magnus første tur i parken. Selvom det ikke ser ud til at være godt vejr så var det varmt nok til en is.

This blog is about Magnus' first trip to the park. Even though it doesn't look like it it was a warm day warranting an ice cream, we had an ice cream.

Selvom det ikke var første gang Magnus har fået is!! But it wasn't first time Magnus had an ice cream!!

Jan og Magnus -- Jan and Magnus

Jan ankom et par dage efter mor for at besøge Magnus. Han ankom med Magnus første kælenavn - Magnus tagmus. Han lavede også nogle hylder i Magnus værelse. Jan - du skal have mange tak for dit hårde arbejde.

Jan arrived a few days after my mum to meet Magnus. He gave Magnus his first nickname - Magnus Tagmus (Magnus "roof mouse" which rhymes in Danish). He also built a wardrobe for Magnus. Thank you Jan for all the hard work - we really appreciate it.

Magnus og mormor

Magnus og hans mormor mødtes for første gang i sidste uge. Mor brugte meget af tiden på at hygge med Magnus og der var et par gange han gylpede så meget på hende at tøjet skulle skiftes. Det lod dog til at de begge kunne vældig lide hinanden.

Magnus and his Danish Grandma (mormor which in Danish means mother's mother) met for the first time. They spent a lot of time hanging out together and generally seemed to be getting on well. On a few occassions her clothers had to be changed after Magnus was sick on her - good times!

Magnus' Cherry Tree - Magnus kirsbær træ

We were really excited today to hear from our friends Joe and Shellie that they have planted a Montmerency Cherry Tree to commemorate the birth of Magnus. They planted the tree in a park in Brooklyn (see map) under the auspices of a project that promotes urban renewal called Trees_Not_Trash. Joe and Shellie hope that one day Magnus will travel to Brooklyn to eat cherries from this tree and that other people will also be able to enjoy it in years to come. Thanks Joe and Shellie - this is a very special gift for Magnus.

Vi blev utrolige glade for at høre fra vores venner Joe og Shellie at de har plantet et Montmerency kirsebær træ for at fejre Magnus fødsels. Træet blev plantet i en park i Brooklyn (se map) i forbindelse med et projekt der vil forsøge at bringe fornyelse til byendelen. Projeket hedder Trees_Not_Trash. Joe og Shellie håber at Magnus en dag vil komme til Brooklyn for at spise kirsebær fra sit træ såvel som at de lokale kan nyde det i de næste mange år. Mange tak Joe og Shellie - det er en gave som vi virkelig værdsætter.
