First begin downloading the 21MB video, please…
Though they haven’t seen very much of each other the past few weekends, Molli Malou and Mille continue to bond. All it takes is for one to hear the other next door, and they find their way to one another within minutes.
So… all the hedges I’d trimmed, all the trees I’d taken down, all the heavy boughs I’d severed… they were starting to pile up. Well, one Saturday morning early this month it was time for the woodchipper guy’s annual visit. I lugged every last limb, branch, bough, and twig into the driveway.
Significant pile, no?
Now here comes Chipper Jens…
And we’re left with nothing but a little pile of chips.
Not that interesting? Sorry. The whole country living thing is still new to me. (I’lll spare you the pictures of me loading those chips into 28 lawn bags and making 4 trips to the dump to get rid of them.)
Back to our original subject.
As you may have noticed, Mille seems to be as obsessed with pink as Molli Malou, and just as girlish. (Although they are both obsessed with worms and bugs.)
That’s Mille’s family’s house on the other side of the hedges in the picture below. We figure we’ve got two or three years before the girls tunnel through the hedges to sneak over to each other’s houses.
We had the annual Kammer family Pinse picnic in Frederiksberg Garden, and Molli Malou had a wonderful time.
After the meal we noticed (we being Molli Malou and I) that the bridge to the Chinese Folly island was opened, so we took a long tour around the island, just the two of us.
Oh! Great grandma asked if we had lilac trees. Is this a lilac tree? Because if it is, we do.
In the middle of the month I began my war on dandelions. Like the War of the Roses, only bloodier. Look what I was up against.
Seriously.
It took probably about 15-20 man hours to do it, but in the end I won.
(“Umm… is Greg actually posting pictures of ‘places where there aren’t dandelions’ on Molli Malou’s blog? I kind of miss the days when you had to pay for film…”)
See the video for the inevitable conclusion to this round of gaming.
Molli Malou loves the walk down to the lake, and she loves to bring Dolly down in her stroller, especially now that she’s discovered how gravity can make a stroller right so much more interesting on a hill.
What kind of tree is this? I love them.
Molli Malou was so excited to see Pippi at Tivoli in the Swede’s first ever visit to Denmark!
Molli Malou AND Pippi caught on film (or whatever) together!
And there it is… Villa Villekulla! (sp?)
Just follow the facial expressions through the following series, please.
Yeah, once again we had to stop the ride and let her off. She’s braver and braver every visit, but we’re not out of the woods yet as far as the “bouncy ride” is concerned.
But the airplanes? No prob.
I think I mailed these out to a few family members earlier this month. Two of my favorite shots from the last year, and I didn’t even take them. A neighbor, the father of one of Molli Malou’s friends here in the building, caught Molli Malou and his daughter playing together, and got a few of Molli Malou on her own…
That one’s nice, but the one below captures her perfectly. This is her. At 3 going on 4, this is the perfect portrait of Molli Malou Kammer Nagan.
no. I can never see enough of these pictures or videos. Almost like being there. Thanks.
Yeah yeah, okay, so I posted those pics in the previous blog. Photos taken by third parties don’t always fit my photo organization system very well.
But how can you ever see enough of those pictures anyway?
