Family times

Yesterday i went to the gym, and then i got tattooed.
I think it's probably the last time i try out that particular combo!
The tattoo is gonna be great, though, and i hope we'll have time to finish it soon.

This weekend we're going to the country for my dad's 70th birthday party.
Yeah, i know, that number... i could write a whole post about just how weird that is.
We're bringing our friends from Hamburg who are coming to Denmark tonight, and Masumi, who we'll be babysitting.
We'll be in charge of the barbeque.*
Gilbert is gonna be there too, of course, and i'm excited to see how much bigger he's gotten since these pictures were taken.

Getting kissed by his grandma

Nephew and mom

Kissing her back, or you know, trying to eat her face!

Baby drool

These two were there too... my first nephews (that aren't technically nephews, but who cares)

Yonas, Lucifer and William


This day was super nice.
It was warm and sunny, something no one had expected, and my brother and his wife had ordered delicious food for everyone.

It was also a weird day, cause being there with everyone made me realize that we, me and my brother and our cousins, are basically our parents now. We're the grown-ups! All of my grandparents are dead, and my parents are someones grandparents now and whoa, is that ever freaky.
Shit like this creeps up on you, i tell ya, and i don't think i'll ever feel old enough to fit that role. Maybe no one does?
I just never look at myself and see an adult, and i certainly never look at my parents and see "old people".
You know?


*For a vegetarian, i cook a pretty mean steak, so the guests are in good hands.
