I'm just a kid

We met Lars in England while working for EasyJet, at the end of 2003. His wife Dorte was back in Denmark, expecting their first child. He told us that as they knew it was a boy, they had already picked out a name - Lukas. I was also pregnant at the time, and although we didn't know the sex, if it was going to be a boy, we had also decided on the name Lucas.
And so it happened, that two little Scandi boys born just a month apart, and with the same name, became the best of friends as babies in Horsham. One got the nickname 'Big Lukas', and the other 'Little Lucas'.

Almost 20 years later, and 'Little Lucas' is not so little anymore, at least not in height! He has bypassed all of us, although 'Big Lukas' is certainly still the more solid one.

We did the Tik-Tok trend 'I'm just a kid...' and recreated this photo from May 2005, shovel, authentic strawberry hats and all; with lots of laughs involved!

I so appreciate this friendship, 20 years and counting! So much looking forward to the winter, when Dorte and Lars will come and visit us here in the sandpit for the first time!
