Back to Work, Varrone!

All good things must come to an end, and my sabbatical draws to a close. I return to SAP, still based in Copenhagen, on Monday, June 2. Since the last post, Emilia has chosen to attend Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, CT, where she will start ninth grade in September (see photo with fountain). She has also appeared in several plays here in Risskov, notably "Cry Baby," as well as traveling to Rouen, Paris, London, and Amsterdam.

Espen has also been performing, singing and playing guitar (see photo). He will start seventh grade here in August. Elise finished Kindergarten and will start First Grade in August.

Our house remodel is finally done, and looks great. There was a lot of construction along the way.The weather this winter was abysmal - over 100 days of freezing rain, sleet, etc. - but then turned suddenly terrific. Both April and May have been fantastic, even got to the beach several times already. See the difference a few weeks made:
