Broderick's 2nd Birthday!

Today is Broderick's 2nd birthday. I can't believe our little boy is already 2. Who would have thought we would have moved across the ocean when he was born. We started out the day by making him waffles. About every day when we ask Broderick what he wants to eat, he tells us waffles. He is quite a fan of eggos. Unfortunately they have nothing like that over here. He was pretty happy.

We then went to the Aalborg Zoo. Aalborg is a town about 20 minutes from us with about 140,000 people. That's where the hospital is and other major conveniences you may need are located. It was a nice zoo, big enough, but not so big that you can't cover the whole thing. Broderick liked seeing all the "aminals" and his favorites are the "oo-ahhs" (monkeys) and the polar bear. The polar bear was kindof playing peek-a-boo and Broderick didn't want to leave. The whole way to the zoo and at the zoo, he kept asking for the zebras, so we finally get to the zebras and he couldn't have cared less. Kids!!!

Here is Brad, Grandma, and Broderick waiting for our lunch at the little bistro in the zoo.
Here's Brad, Megan, and Broderick in front of the zoo. Broderick is in the stroller here, but he walked or was held the entire time in the zoo. He wanted nothing to do with the stroller. He did pretty good. The weather was beautiful. It was in the 60's and sunny. We were so thankful since the week had been pretty chilly and rainy at times. When we got home, Broderick took a nap and then we had lasagna (one of his favorite things) and fresh bread from the bakery (yum!) Then we had cake. You should have been there when we were trying to make this. We had tried to find yellow cake mix at the grocery store. We thought we did, but it turns out that it was some sort of "DreamCake" which appeared to be some sort of coffee cake or we're not sure what it was, but we tried to still make the yellow cake out of it. It was supposed to be in a springform so we used a skillit and we were following the directions using a danish-english dictionary. It was quite funny. But it turned out ok.
Broderick got a cool excavator from "mama". It was just like "bop-pop's". He keeps telling us. And he got some Thomas trains from us. He's quite into choo-choos right now.
It was quite a day for Broderick, he did good though and was a trooper. Here he is getting ready to call it a day in his big boy bed.

Tomorrow we're going to head to the coast and show my mom the sea. Its supposed to be good weather again. Brad installed a light fixture here the other day. He was quite proud since its 220v here instead of 11ov so we were a little worried about getting shocked. We also did laundry yesterday. Of course the manuel is in danish. The load at capacity is about 1/3 of what our loads are in the US and then the wash cycle is 2 hours long. We did laundry all day. We tried to figure out ways to shorten the cycle, but no luck so far.

Monday morning I have a doctor appointment. I'm 12 weeks now, so we'll see what they do. This is just our regular family doctor, so most likely she'll refer me to a diabetic specialist. We'll see how that goes.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. So far ours has been great.
