Family Time

Yesterday we went on a day trip to one of Axel's hunting areas. We ate lunch by the water and hiked up so we could see forever. It was so alive with color. I love the Fall. It's so fun to go and do things like this. We are so lucky that Axel gets to be off and play with us during the week.

Friends

We had some friends over for dinner on Tuesday. Vilgot is the same age as Saga, well I think Saga is a few weeks older

Hanging Out

The weather has been beautiful the last week. It's hard to stay inside when the trees are putting on a show. The colors are amazing! Here we are just hanging out in our yard.

Saga Takes a Ride

No it's not her halloween costume but I guess it could be. It's Saga's Fall outdoor outfit. When she sleeps outside it keeps her nice and warm.
Is it the devil or a cat???

Saga modeling her new winter hat. We took the madress out of her crib for her to play on in the living room. She jumps off of it and just likes to be up a little higher.

It seems that everyday now we have to paint, which means a big mess to clean up. We go to a special playgroup about twice a week were she can paint, perfect!! Her she is with her master piece.

Saga LOVES the dogs. She pesters them when they come inside, but when they are outside she likes to act just like they do. When Axel tells them to sit she has to sit as well, right next to them of course.

Axel and Saga widdling wood. It was so cute to watch. No she doesn't have a real knife, it's a plastic one!

A Week in the Life of Saga

Saga showing off her backpack. She likes to carry her babies around in it.
We got a training toilet last week for Saga. The first time she sat on it (which is what you are seeing here) she went pee. I was shocked! She hasn't done it since though. She sits on it with her clothes on and wipes with toilet paper and acts like she is flushing. TOO CUTE!!

AXEL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Everyone sitting around the table talking and drinking coffee.

Mormor was a guest at Axel's birthday party. She is turning 80 this year and still going strong!
Three other guests at the party: Ulrika, Tobias, and Elin.
Alina and Saga taking a break from the festivities to color.

Taking the boat out to a special spot to pick some berries.
Pappa and Saga picking blueberries and wild raspberries.

Saga's new favorite place to play. She loves water!! Every morning this week she has played in the sink while I clean the kitchen It so funny how fast kids can change. When we were in America she would absolutely NOT take a bath or even touch water (unless it was outside).
