We also got on the subject of working and having kids. Danes have this perception that all American moms quit their jobs, give up their careers, and stay at home to raise their kids. They were asking me why American girls would even bother going to school if they were just going to give up their careers once they had kids. I was really surprised that they think of American women like this because if I had to guess, I would think they'd believe they opposite. Personally, I can't think of a single American mom that I know today who doesn't have at least a part-time job. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, because I think their impressions of American culture stem from 1950's cowboy movies and Little House on the Prairie.
I have no new pictures to post, so here is another Baby Julie to keep you coming back for more:

I love this picture!!! (The black eye/diaper picture). Right around the time of your burst appendix....yikes.
How did you get the black eye?
Hey Julie. Are you getting the volcanic ash from Iceland over there?
thanks for updating everyone on my health problems, ma.
Nanc-I just heard about this Iclandic volcano. Apparently they closed the airport. guess they are anticipating it? or maybe the ash is clear, bc its blue skies over here.
You will never have that problem again, thank you God!!
