Mormor

Mormor has finally arrived and its bliss for the very pregnant mother...

Here she is reading the bedtime story after feeding me smorgastarta - perfect!

First Tooth Lost

James finally lost his first tooth! He's been very upset that he's the last one in his class, but now feels very happy indeed.

And... just a four days later he lost another three teeth so now he has trouble talking properly... hahahaha

We celebrated midsummer with the other Swedes as usual at the Swedish Church here in Melbourne. It was a pretty ordinary day, most likely not too far from the weather in Sweden... there is something about this particular day and crappy weather... oh well, we had fun, made flower wreaths, sang and danced around the pole and ate svensk jordgubbstarta. YUM.

Football

Alicia has started soccer and is loving it. Unfortunately the matches on Sundays tend to be rather early and the weather rather chilly. However, nothing that a little coffee and smiles cannot fix. Alicia's team is called Mornington and is the orange groovy looking team. Alicia herself is somewhere in the midst of the lot, I can see her, can u? (ok then, fine, it's the stunning girl on the right of the three orange ones in the front)

Easter

Its so nice having the children back again! It's school holidays and they've all been visiting their grandpa for a week... but now they are back!

Easter as usual of course with witches and Swedish Easter eggs with lollies inside.... yummo!

sad day

I cannot believe a whole month has passed since my brother arrived... we've done heaps of traveling around and today's drive to the airport will be quite sad indeed. WE WILL MISS YOU ANDREAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wine tasting...

Andreas is finally here and we spent today touring the wine district on the Mornington Peninsula. With kids. Haha. Had a great time, although I'd love to have been tasting some myself...

He seemed to enjoy the free wine and the kids enjoyed their time when it was finally time to leave the vineyards for the playground!
