New member of the la Cour Andersen family

It has been a while since the last update, but we have been very busy since returning home from the USA. 

Yesterday was certainly a day to mark in the calender, as my sister Malene gave birth to a cute baby boy in the afternoon. Welcome! He is a very lucky boy as he is going to have a wonderful big sister Anna - and we are all convinced that the three cousins, Sebastian, Anna and the little new one, will have a lot of playtime together ahead of them!

We returned home from the States on the 21st of April. The last couple of days we spent at a B & B called the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm, a litlle west of Charlottesville. We were placed right there in the Blue Ridge Mountains and made a very nice walk around the area. The next day we went to the Shenandoah National park riding around the most beautiful scenery, going left and right, up and down, and left and right again. I started to feel a little sick in the car, but we made it all the way down again. 

The flight back to Copenhagen went fine, except that Sebastian did not sleep much. Neither did Tue and I, and we had a long day ahead of us as we landed in Copenhagen Airport. Tues grandmother Ella died while we were in the States. However sad the news, we talked a lot about her long life - she had turned 90 in December - and agreed that she certainly had made the most of it. On the day we returned back to Denmark we went to her funeral in Åbenrå (the southern part of Denmark), which despite all, turned out to be a great day with the family, where we all had the opportunity to commemorate her life.

On the same day I found out that I am pregnant - which explains the naussea in the car! It is only 7 weeks along, and we will have to test it for fanconi in a months time. Fingers crossed!
