Isolating

Since we've started making some bigger changes to our house we began with the first improvement today; to isolate the attic. This way we retain the heat better and maybe even can live cheaper! This is only the beginning of some major changes that will follow... updates will follow!

Shrove Bun

What's better than to get permission to eat with your hands and mess how much you want! Oliver started very cautiously, but I can reveal that it didn't end quit as careful!

Surgery

Kevin had surgery today to try to make his hearing better and his snoring and heavy breathing at night less disturbing for him. It went very well, even if he was in lot of pain afterwards. Many ice-creams made it feel much better.
He keeps impressing us and making us such proud parents when he deal with again another tough situation like it wasn't a big thing at all. Takes the medicine he's asked to take, stays calm no matter what and says thanks whenever he's given anything even when he's in great pain and really tired.
Love you so much! And crosses our fingers that this surgery will give you the result we so much wish for.

Sledding

First snow

What better way is there to enjoy the first snow than with one of your best friends; Isak. They had so much fun!

Oliver

This is just a moment from the game Oliver want to play every night when it's time to put the pyjamas on. He runs away hiding on the other side of the bed. He then want us to crawl down on the other side of the bed and say Buh! Today I did it with a camera and got this gorgeous picture.

Wedding Day

We've been married for 6 year today. What other way is better then celebrating it at the gym - together! Very romantic! But that was actually what we misses the most doing. We always had so much fun training together which isn't possible right now because of our fantastic kids.

This was possible thanks to Lena and Håkan who came and looked after our boys. Kevin's status of Håkan has gone from hero to superhero because he fixed his radio-controlled helicopter!!

Thanks you L&H for tonight!

Hammock

I got these pictures sent to me at work today. Apparently, the hammock has been installed and the boys enjoy it fully. Good for them!

@ Perssons

Always playtime at the Perssons!

Fab Sunday

When Daniel got home from his night job the rest of up went out. We had had a little breakfast already. Went to the bakery for some nicer bread rolls. Stopped by the kids favourite playground in Furulund. Had a ball until we could move our fingers so cold they were. Went to the Perssons (who had also played with up at the playground) for a great big breakfast!

Rollerskis

The 90 km long cross-country race "Vasaloppet" is getting closer and closer and our winter has never been this mild and snow seems very far away. So the only other way to try to get in shape for this race is by roller skiing. Aiming for at least 30km per week, special Vasalopps-program at the gym, cardio workout and healthy food I'm doing my best to make this challenge as less painful as possible. Today, Friday the 13th, wasn't my best practise if I say the least. Fell with my roller skis resulted in blood on most of my knuckles and bruised knee and hip! But hey - What doesn't kill you make you stronger?!!

Schooling in

Both boys are back at day-care again. Kevin with a new fantastic group. First day he said proudly that they were allowed to serve lunch themselves. No teacher telling then they couldn't do it. Second day he literally jumped in to his clothes before either Daniel or Oliver had even gotten out of bed. Asking if he could go to day-care now! Same night he gladly told us that he had painted a picture on a BIG paper and that he'd learnt something new (jumping from a high ladder in their playroom). We're so happy for Kevin who right away seems to love and enjoy his new group.
Oliver also seem to get use to this place. Just the sleeping after lunch part that he have to work on. To curious to sleep!

Wrestling

Kevin is doing really well as a wrestler. Listening and doing as teacher says and can now even do a nice swing on a heavy doll!

Preparing for snow

Even if we've had a crappy winter without snow and real winter feeling it was time to get ready for when the snow gets here. Coz we still believe we'll get some snow and winter. The snow racer Kevin got for Xmas is now assembled and ready. Another favourite activity for the kids while we're preparing dinner is to play with the water. And today there was some potato peel as well which made it even more fun. I couldn't stop thinking about all the fancy toys they both have in their room and here they are having a great time with something as simple as water and potato peel!! There's water exactly everywhere but when you see and hear their laughter it's impossible to see the reason in telling them to stop. A little water here and there can't hurt that much can it?!

Recovering

Cold and windy and we're all recovering from being sick. Everybody feels a little better but are still very tired. So today we wanted to get some fresh air. But boy it was freezing cold so we soon went home for some hot chocolate and mounted our new clock which we got from our friend Chrille.

Sick

Only Daniel is on top. The rest of us has either fever or are throwing up. The could have had a better start. I guess it can only get better from now on!

Baking day

The rain is pouring down and its cold outside so Kevin’s wish of activity was to bake some bread. And I couldn’t come up with a better idea so we filled the freezer with porridge bread rolls!
