Mathilde's First Haircut!

We tried to make it until her second birthday next month but we just couldn't, her hair was getting out of control! You'd think her beautiful little curls would just keep curling up and out of her face but unfortunately they are a bit crazy and our little munchkin was having a hard time seeing through her bangs. Plus she won't let me 1) brush her hair, or 2) put clips in it, so we paid the big bucks for Mathilde's very first haircut this weekend. And she looks great!

Notice how she's not exactly thrilled in these photos but she never shed a tear and was mostly preoccupied with the fun new toys and barber's chair shaped like a car.

Here we have before, during, and after shots:

Like Daddy, Like Daughter

You know how family members start looking like each other after spending much time together? Well, it's starting to happen in our family. I've noticed recently that Mathilde and JJ have a lot of matching clothes... Here they are yesterday both wearing their aprons.


Then last weekend they both wore their Chicago Bears shirts in honor of the game (today they took them off fairly quickly).




I thought they also looked quite cute in their matching white t-shirts this summer on Long Island.










And then a few months ago they were seen putting together furniture in our new house wearing the same Bowdoin t-shirts complete with Polar Bears on their chests. Note: I actually went to Bowdoin but don't seem to have one of these matching shirts. Hmmmm...










Oh yeah, the matchy-matchy doesn't stop at Dada; look here at Mathilde and Mormor looking pretty in their purple dresses this summer.










Ok, I searched through Mathilde's early baby pictures and finally found one of Mama & Daughter in our matching shirts. Look at our bald little two month old!


Moral of the story: Since I'm the big shopper in the family I guess it's up to me to coordinate our outfits. Just wait until the holidays!!

Halloween photo

Although Mathilde had a fever on Halloween morning, we still dressed her up in her semi-handmade costume and made her strike a pose. Look at our sweet little Tooth Fairy!!

Where have we been...

I am finally taking the time to create a brand new site for our family. I know, I know, it's been almost a year since our last post, but I can explain...

Well, that would take a long time but basically we moved from Copenhagen to Seattle in May, bought a house in July, actually moved into our house in September, started Mathilde in day care and found me a job starting Monday. Phewww, I'm exhausted just thinking about everything! We are so happy to be back home in Seattle, despite missing our friends in Denmark, and life is good. Very very good.

Now let's see if I can figure out how to post this...
