Slow Start

I'm slowly added pictures from our trip to America on the blog.  It hasn't been a top priority while we were away.  To our loyal followers, I'm sorry :)

The kids and I before getting on the fun filled Easter Train in Elbe.

Grace, Saga, and Sixten on Easter afternoon.  What a strong girl Gracie is...

Sixten on the beach in Fairhaven.  The kids and I took a trip to Bellingham to spend time with old friends.  I was great.

Finally a Minute

We've arrived in Eatonville, and it's been non-stop.  This is the first time I've been awake while one of the kids is sleeping.  Jet-leg causes me to sleep when they sleep otherwise I would be a zombie.  Don't have any pictures uploaded but just wanted to let everyone know we are here.  It SNOWED yesterday!  I was trying to get away from the snow and here it is following us.  The sun shined later so we were off to the library in the new double stroller my mom bought, works great.  We were zooming all of town.  Saga is up stairs eating breakfast and watching cartoons while Sixten is still sleeping at 5:20 A.M. Seems like our schedule is almost back to normal.  We still go to bed at 5:30P.M. but maybe not tonight.  Anyway, we've gotten to see most of the family and have been outside a lot.  Saga really wants to talk to Axel so we are looking forward to him coming home so we can talk on the phone.  Pictures soon (I guess I need to take some)!

Last Post Before Take Off

On Sat. we are flying down to Stockholm to spend the weekend with Arvid and Helena and then on to Seattle. We have had just the BEST weather here, a little bitter sweet. This is really my favortite time of year. We've taken advantage of the weather and have been out on many adventures.

Outside Tour

The red boat waiting for the ice to melt.

The snowmobile track through the trees.

The lake in front of our house.

The dog kennel (with Texas outside) and the guest house.

Our summer neighbor's house.

The front of our little house with one of our little ones in front. haha

The side view from the water.

Our wonderful wood pile that helps keep us warm all winter long.

One of MANY hare tracks around our house.

The Sun Is In My Eyes :)

We headed out on the snow mobile for some sunshine and lunch.  The weather is beautiful here.  I love Winter/Spring when the sun actually warms up your face.

The kids were ready to go!

The Fun Continues

Some pictures of Saga's birthday and some other random fun.

Saga and I had a great time making her birthday cake this year.  Her theme was Indian and my mom brought over some really cool plastic Indian figurines.  We made a chocolate cake put some food coloring in the frosting to make water, grass, and sky and then on with the Indians. 

Sixten needed to show of his bike as well.  He does everything his big sister does even put on his "helmet" which are actually their winter hats.  So funny!

Me at Saga's party (a Sixten picture).

Saga and some of her birthday presents: face paint, a new dress, and barbie fairy.

Sweet Mormor made the trip for the birthday dinner and party.

Another variation of the butterfly face painting.  Fanny and Alina came over the other evening for sledding, hot chocolate, and face painting.  They are just the best aunts a girl could ask for.

Cowgirl Saga in her new boots carrying her new cap pistol.

It's so fun to watch them do things together.  He is getting so big.  Saga stayed the night at her friends Elin and Axel last night.  Her first sleep over at a friend's house in Sweden and she did awesome. 

5th B-Day

Thanks for the bike grandma and grandpa.  Sixten loves to sit on the back and catch a ride.  I love it.  Thanks so much!
