The Return of Ilene!

Ilene Meets Miles

Why it seems only yesterday that we said good bye to Ilene Severson, our nanny that came to help us for our first month in Aarhus. But, no, its been just shy of nine months since she left. But, today, Ilene has returned to help us get through our last month in Aarhus and (almost more importantly) the return trip home (three adults, two children, one baby, tons of bags, one stroller and three car seats!!!)!

Ilene arrived at Tirstrup airport (about 40 minutes to the east of Aarhus) at 10:30 AM. As luck would have it, she was on the same plane that was bringing my colleague and host, Kaj Grønbæk, back from a trip to the states. So, there was a bit of a confusing moment as I was waving both to Ilene and Kaj, and neither of them quite understanding why I was waving at someone else! :-)

Ilene and I had a nice time catching up on the way back to Aarhus and then she got to meet Miles as shown above. L. was very happy to see Ilene again and we sat down to a nice lunch. Now, Ilene is unpacking and L. and the baby are taking a nap.

I'll go and get Max and Lilja in a bit... they were excited this morning that Ilene was coming and I know they are looking forward to seeing her again.

So, all is well in Denmark!

Enjoy,

Ken
