Then we made a video trip to the swimming pool... follow with us:
After the trip to the pool we set up the tripod for a family portrait. Olivia is looking intently at me. She does a lot of intense looking... but we are sure that she is taking us in because a few times today she copied our actions.
In the afternoon we hung out on the balcony as the Monsoon rains started. We have a vacant lot beside which is full of trees that remind me of the rainforest in Australia.We were blowing bubbles to pass the time and she enjoyed it very much. Later she took the bubble blower from Rikke and dipped it herself in the liquid and held it for Rikke to blow.
Dad went shopping at the markets and we had our first home-cooked meal. The promised veges, grandma!
Thanks (og tusind tak) for the continued supportive comments here and on Facebook... and all of you that we know are behind us. These have been big days and we value your closeness from the other side of the world - both sides really. I guess we are about half-way between our Danish and Aussie worlds.

Kære dejlige lille familie. Vi følger jer og tænker meget på jer. Vi tjekker bloggen mange gange hver dag, for at se om der er nyt. Hvor er hun bare utrolig kær. Det var fantastisk at se de små film. I ser så glad ud, mor og far! Laurits og Carl Emil er meget interesserede og glade for at se deres lille kusine. Mange knus og kærlige tanker her fra moster og onkel. (Anne Mette)
ReplyDeleteHej Anne Mette, Vi glæder os til at de to store fætre kan lege med deres nye kusine. Jeg tror jeres to omsorgsfulde drenge vil passe godt med hendes forsigtig stil. Vi mærker jeres tanker og lykønskninger hernede!

Dear Aaron and Rikke, you are doing wonderfully. These are beautiful and very precious pics. Olivia is slowly building her trust - copying what you do is an indication of that - and it will grow each day.
ReplyDeletemuch love
(ps great veggies!!)
Hi again, I have been speaking with Lyn and Rob who asked me to tell you that they are thinking of you all the time, and send their best wishes. They are thrilled to have another little girl in the family.
ReplyDeleteLove.
Thanks Mum. Send them my love.
DeleteTillykke alle 3, hvor er det dejligt at se jer sammen. Hun er da bare helt fantastisk dejlig og lækker. Vi tænker på jer og ønsker jer den bedste tid i Thailand. Tillykke med hende. KNUS fra Marta, Rolle og Else
ReplyDeleteDear Rikke
ReplyDeleteYour relationship with your daughter is secured. She trusts you already. Well done. It may be hard work for you at the moment, as Olivia is not as secure with men but Aaron is a gentle man and Olivia will realise that very soon. Hang in there, you're both doing terrifically well.
With admiration,
Chas
