Gonzalo is here!

June 23, 2014- Ricardo and I are now Tio and Tia to baby Gonzalo. His sister Maria gave birth on Monday to a beautiful baby boy! Carolina is getting some good practice in.

French Riveria and F1

And so begins her infatuation with airplanes- or so she likes to say "babayon" (avion in spanish). We took Little C-Lo's last flight in the "cheap" seats and headed to Nice and Monte Carlo for a long 4-day weekend. The past few years Ricardo's (January) birthday presents have been trips, concerts or excursions. Last year we went to the Madrid Open (tennis match). This year I thought he'd quite enjoy the F1 races in Monaco! He did. and it was a wonderful last getaway for the Riches family of 3.

1 last trip......

Back and forth, back and forth..... And now time to rest and get ready for baby. I took my last work trip a few weeks back to wrap things up before my leave. Did i mention i despise paying taxes on the danish system, but ohhhh ohhh how i adore the benefits! The Danes really have the work/life balance figured out. Beauty of socialist gov't! ;-) I'll start my leave end of this week and should return around August of 2015. Until then, just enjoying a few of my favorite danish things......

Dinner out with the Engbers at MASH- no picture with them or the restaurant :-( but take a look at the beauties that Margareta grew in her garden.

I spent 3 days in a quite intensive Project Management course, followed by a 3hr exam. After I decided to stock up on some of my favorite Danish Designers to celebrate- Rosendahl glasses and oil & vinegar set, Menu hot plate holder, a nice leather box, cork note boards and matching onesies from Noa Noa for the girls :-)

And spending some quality time with Shereen
