Vienna

This weekend, we went to Vienna to visit Mellie. It is our first trip out of town postpartum that doesn't involve visiting relatives and it was quite a different city trip than any prior experiences. I haven't been to Vienna before and I am not sure I can really say that I saw the city, but the part we saw was rather nice.

We arrived late Friday afternoon and there wasn't really time for anything else than a stroll around the nearest park. Saturday we went to the local farmers market and did grocery shopping, drank coffee and had a really nice lunch at the local fish place. 

It was quite a cold and wet day so we just went for a short trip around the neighbourhood while Fleur did her afternoon nap. In the evening we had abendbrot with some of the delicious thing we got on the market, while Fleur was sleeping sound in the other room.

Sunny Birthday

A little over a week ago, it was Vincent's birthday.

It was a cold and very beautiful day. He must have behaved exceptionally good this year, as the sun was shining the entire day.

It had been frost during the night and the morning was fresh and sharp in my face when I went out with Fleur to go to baby-swimming. We still have had only few of those kind of mornings, winter has been very mild this year in Berlin.

After swimming, Vincent picked us up and we went for brunch at Two Planets. The rest of the day we spend eating, enjoying the sun and unwrapping presents and the next day Berlin was again gray and rainy.

New Years Day

Happy New Years everyone. I hope you all had a safe and fun trip into 2018.

We came back from Denmark on the last day of 2017 and spend a quiet evening at home with a some good food and a movie. I was exhausted and must admit I went to bed before midnight even though there was a bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge. It is hard being on holidays. :) So I only vaguely saw the fireworks in the sky, but all the remnants were lying on the ground the next day.

The first of January was spend with a nice homemade brunch, then a walk and a trip to the playground.

I hope 2018 will be as good a year as 2017 with as many beautiful moments in the coming as in the past.

Juledage

The Christmas days are over and today we are taking a chill pill from all the fuss and fatty food. After two days of family gathering and a sometimes overexcited child, it is nice with a quiet day, where nothing is really happening.

Fleur made it through her first Christmas, probably without really knowing it was something special. But she enjoyed spending time with the grandparents and lots of smiles were given to everyone in the family. She took a fondness for nisser and Risalamande and didn't yet care too much for the tree or the presents.

Day in Copenhagen

The other day, we went to Copenhagen to meet Niclas over a cup of coffee and do some last minute shopping. Luckily there was not too many people in the city, probably because the holidays hadn't really started yet.

It is funny how I always find so many interesting thing to photograph when in Copenhagen. I guess since I am not there every day everything seems fresh and interesting and Copenhagen around Christmas time is quite hyggelig.

I wish everyone a merry Christmas. Hope you spend it with someone you care for.
