Finally Dona is here :-)

It was fantastic to see her again. You can't imagine, we had butterflies in our tummy and we were so excited if she would come to the airport as planned 16:00 o'clock on Friday..... And there she was! :-) Pretty as allways, and smiling as allways! :-) Everyone hang around her neck and gave her a big welcome hug! :-)

Dona "back in business" :-) Cleaning the coriander :-)


Lars got a new vest, so happy! :-) Dona and Lisa

She had so many things with her, all the things that we miss with Baku - Lavash - Like thin tortilla raps, fresh baked, jummy!

Small cucumbers and smokes cheese :-)
Azeri cakes :-) - pomegranate and coriander (keshnish in Azeri) Can't wait to eat! :-)
Bedtime - Dona and Lisa was singing, reading and laughing for one hour before she finally falled asleep around 20:30. Luckily she is not going to the kindergarten on Friday. She wanted to stay home with Dona! :-)
Thank you very very much to Ruth for helping us out with all visa, tickets, shopping etc. to make this dream come through! :-) Love you Ruth! :-) xxxx
