Dear erna and D`Arcy + Family,
Thank you for your very kind greeting at my birthday, it made me very happy.
Soon I will be leaving Denmark and I want you to know that we are looking forward and our children can`t stop talking about it – well, most of the time.
We are behind schedule with our planning because for some time we did not know if we were going.
Know that we know that we are coming we are really looking forward to it!.
It was a very sweet letter we received from Justin and Kayla we see that they spent quite a lot of time making it so we really look forward meeting them. It is going to be fun meeting you all and I am really looking forward seeing “the boys” and Isabel again as well as meeting the children who came within the last 19 years – and meeting all of your children.
We have a couple of questions and some answers to yours,
Questions to the boss: Our children does not haveany allergies except mosquito bites!
I have told the children about D´Arcys amazing breakfast pancakes and if we ask him nicely he we make some for us?
IS there any way we can borrow a trolley for the children from Julius while we are staying in Canada?
The children would like to know how big the pool is?
Erna, is there anything you want us to bring you from Denmark?
Best regards,
Emma Sofie,
Here is some information about us:
Jonas:
Jonas is 13 years old (born april 12 th 1993) and is going to start 7th grade after summerholdays.
Jonas like sports - badmintoin, swimming, roller blading and soccer I particular.
Jonas had soccer practice since he was 3 years old and likes it very much,
If Jonas isn`t attending school he is either with friends or in front of the computer. Jonas favourite games are Counter Strike and Warcraft. He spend a lot of hours on those games.
Furthermore, he Is very fond of the football manager game called “Hattrick” which can be found on the website address:
www.hattrick.org”.Jonas has English as a subject for the past 3 years in school, so hopefully he won`t have any problems talking to all of you.
Answers to Justins questions:
We do not have any X-box or X-box 360, but we do have a PS 2 and a Gameboy, but they are rather old. On your PS2 console we play Eyetoy and Tekken 5.
Am I good at soccer – yupp im pretty good!. 
Favourite food: Pizza, burger and French fries.
TV shows: I do not watch TV shows that often, but I do watch soccer games, especially the World cup and Champions league.
Josephine:
Josephine is 8 years old (born april 3 rd 1998). Josephine is the only girl amon 3 brothers- the family princess. Josephine has played a lot with Barbie, Bratz and Diddl – but now he heart only belongs to build-a-bear. Josephine ha 2 build a bears, one is called Mike and the other is called Plet (which is Danish for Spot). Josephine looks forward coming to Canada and see a Canadian build-a-bear toy store. Josephine uses the computer very often in order to play Sims or World of warcraft- If Josephine looks at webpages it is only to see pages concering build-a-bear, and I think she knows all build-a-bear accessories that money can buy in Canada. Whn Josephine is not playing with her girlfriends you can always find her in front of the television watching Disney channel or Cartoon network.
Favorite food: Burgers.
Jens Christian:
Jens Christian is 4 years old (born May 2002). Jens Christian look up toi his older brother which means he plays soccer and computer. Jens Christian is quite large for a boy his age and is often confused with a 6 year old. Jens Christian is the shy one of alle the kids and it might take some dares before he will open up.
Julius:
Julius is 9 moth old (born October 3o th 2005). Julis has just started eating regular food but still he needs some “fast food” from his mother. Julius is a very happy child and he has just started standing up straight and soon we hope he might starting to crawl.
Peter:
Peter is 28 years old (born july 13th 1977) and he is a production engineer. I work as a project coordinator in a company called Naviair (
www.naviair.com), at the moment I work with building the new control tower in Copenhagen airport. Before is arted working at Naviair I was a SAP R/3 consultant. Today I invest lot of my spare time in the local soccer club where I am the chairman, also I am very involved with a indoors roller skating club we founded some years ago. When I am not spending my time doing sport activities I trying to do some maintenance work on your old house.
I want to spent more time on the computer but I do not have the time for it. Whenever I am in front of the Computer I use it for digital photos, surfing the Internet or as Jonas playing Hattrick.
Emma-sofie:
I have just turned 37 years old (Born July 7th)…time goes by so fat! (this sentence rhymes in the Danish language). For the time being I am on maternity leave with Julius. I work as a kindergarten teacher- I am teaching the children in the first year of school and I have been teaching them for the past 3 years and enjoy it very much. I do not have time for many hobbies but I go for all the sport activities of my children instead, the rest of time I spent fixing our old house. When the children gets older I will have time to do more things in my spare time.
I am looking forward seeing you in Canada.
We will send you pictures of us and our house later on.
Our suggestion to the weeks spend in Canada:
Along with Jörgen and Birthe we have made the following suggestions:
We felt it might be a good idea to go to Toronto the first week as it won`t interfere with his birthday, but we would love to do something with the families and are very glad that Thomas and Rachel has offered to take us for some trips and we would love to do that.
Tuesday the 25th of July until Thursday 27th of July:
We would like to take these days off and spent them with the family in Canada.
Friday 28th of July until Wednesday the 2nd of August:
Friday we would like to take a trip to Toronto and stay there for some days and then drive back to Ottawa Wednesday the 2nd of August. We would like to rent a car from Friday till Wednesday and stay at a hotel in Toronto.
From the hotel in Toronto we will be one day at the Niagara falls and one day in Toronto city and then one day in Wonderland. We have checked out the Wonderland website and it looks primarily to be for older children, now the children have seen the Wonderland website and Jonas and Josephine would really like to pay it a visit.
Wednesday 2 nd of August we drive back to Ottawa
Thursday August 3rd we will be back in Ottawa.
Friday 4th of August we will celebrate Jörgens birthday.
Saturday 5th of august until Thursday the 10 th of August:
You told us you had Saturday, Sunday and maybe even Monday off as I was a long weekend., that weekend we would like to do something with all of you.
The last coiuple of days we thought we might visit Ottawa city and all the sight seeings there and maybe shop and visit relatives maybe also Erik?
What do think of the plan?
Can you help us renting a car (2 adults plus 2 children) from Friday 28 th of July until Wednesday the 2nd of August.
If you know any affordable hotel rooms in Toronto we might be able to make the reservations on the internet. Jörgen mentioned it might be worth the trouble staying at the University for some days – but we won`t be to much trouble.
We look forward hearing from you  - and we look forward visiting all of you in Canada.
Your truly,
Peter and Emma-Sofie
