Fab Sunday

 

Welcoming Mio to the world on Friday. Our friends Jenny and Tobbe were proud parents to little Mio who arrived while we were in Norway so we first got around to visit them this weekend. Such a gorgeous baby! Kevin was amazed of how small his feet were. Almost as tiny as his own thumb!
Saturday morning was spent with Klasens parents Leila and Kenneth which are always spoiling out boys with crackers with way to much butter!! No wonder my boys live visiting them. Plus they are amazing bonus grandparents that we are fortunate to have in our lives💜
Sunday was one of the better days for all family members. Oliver got part of his birthday gift; to drive a 4 wheel drive and a digger! He simply can't get enough of  these machines. Plus Kevin got his first lesson in flyfishing. First without the hock. But since he showed such talent he soon got a pair of glasses and was fishing for real with great technique. Daniel was also lucky when fishing so we came home with some extra kilos lovely salmon.

Vetten Opp mountain race

   
420 metre height difference, 3,8 km distance and an average 11 degree angle uphills. Poor Linda and Anders visiting from Gällivare was enrolled to this race. It's very different, but for some reason lots of fun. All of us did very well and two hours after we all talked about next years race!

Fantastic Norway

Oliver have asked to make his own sushi for a long time. Today we had some hours for our selves so we did it from scratch. Such talents! They turned out really nice. Could it be the view from the kithen table that made it?

Even if North of Norway isn't the place for sunbathing and swimming it doesn't mean there's no beaches. There's many smaller almost tropical beaches hidden away just next to the mountains that's lots of fun to play on. Many hours was spent on this beach just around the corner from the cottage.

This position was taken very often during our stay in Norway. Either with the morning coffee when you woke up before everyone else. Can't say what it is exactly that makes this place my absolute favourite. The view, when the porpoise family is jumping in front of you, the sea eagle is catching it's dinner or when a fisherman is setting out his fishing net simple does something to me and my wellbeing. It's something that I can't really explain. It's just total relaxation and I love it!

Heartbreaking

 

Kevin spent most of the day playing with friends so grandma only had Oliver to pick up this Thursday. Grandma took Oliver to a favourite local flowershop as he wanted to get mum flowers. They asked if he could make his own arrangement and sure he could. With great enthusiasm he did very well.  He even wrote his own card with "world's best mum" Totally heartbreaking.

Last day in school this term

 

Finally the day Kevin have been waiting for. Time to say goodbye to teacher and schoolwork for a wanted summerholiday. A lovely breakfast together with the whole class and all parents before singing summerinspired songs in the gymnastic hall.
Afterwards we got several kids with their parents to come along to Tirups Herbgarden for lunch, cake, coffee and play at their playground. Sunny hours and happy kids made a great afternoon.
Both kids played with friends when they got home while Daniel got great help from Klasen, Håkan and Tobbe to get lots done on our woodendeck. Appreciate all the help we've got lately. It's worth everything for us! Thank God for your help!

Swedish national day

 

Swedish national day haven't been a public holiday for very long in Sweden so we still don't really know how to celebrate the day. Daniel was working hard with our garden project which is really coming along very nice and at last we went to mum and Klasen for a swim in their pool.

Taco Friday

Taco is our traditional food on Fridays. So also tonight. But we got to share the tradition with our lovely friends; family Adolfsson and fam Hjalmarsson. Kids played and was running around while we small talked over a glass of red.
Oliver and his friend found themselves comfortable at the very top of our appletree. -mum, it's very good view from here!
