The Laugh

Saga is such a great big sister. She loves to make Sixten smile and laugh. He of course loves her even more. This was just so cute I had to make a video

Famous Even in Sweden

Sixten and Uncle Daniel meet for the first time, haha.

Axel brought home a magazine yesterday and told me to look at a certain page. It took me awhile but then I saw the company my brother Dan works for on the page. I thought that was pretty cool, but then Axel told me to look at the picture. It was my brother Dan in the picture. I called him to confirm and it's true. A star even in Sweden. Love you Daniel!!

Strange Christmas

Merry Christmas to all. We had a strange Christmas here in Sweden. Saga was really really sick the whole week before Christmas. I was wondering if she was ever going to feel better, high fever and just wanted to sleep all the time. Finally on Christmas Eve she pulled out of it and we actually got to leave the house and spend x-mas with Axel's family. Axel wasn't there though because he was on call all x-mas weekend. A big cable broke and we was working ALL weekend. So Christmas day was spent at home just the three of us. Saga got to open her presents from America. Below is her Bitty Baby named Emma. Thank you for sending us gifts in Sweden. I know postage costs a lot and sometimes the boxes don't even show up. My mom sent three boxes and only two have arrived. Everyday we get mail (mon, wed, fri) we hope for a box.

Farmor helping Saga put on a new dress she got for Christmas.

Farfar trying on Alina's new helmet.

Santa came with a big sack of gifts.

Uncle Arvid and a drooling Sixten. He's always naked because his clothes get so wet.

Not the best Christmas picture but it will have to do :)

Christmas Killer and Sick Saga, what a pair.

Siblings

Saga holding Sixten. It doesn't look like it here but he really loves his sister. She can make him smile, laught, and cry. Love those two so much.

Saga's Minks

Yes, there are 7 frozen minks laying on my living room floor. Saga and Axel have a mink trap down by the water in front of our house. Every evening consists of them going out to check the mink trap. They have been very pleased with their trap, 7 were caught this fall. She is quite the hunter/trapper.

Videos and More

He loves to have his head like this when he's sleeping. It looks worst than it really is, I promise.

Here is a link to a new video of Saga doing some great dancing and one of Sixten laying on his tummy. Enjoy!

Weekend Report

HI! We had a fun and busy weekend. Arvid and Helena were here so we could finally celebrate Arvid's 30th birthday. Sat. was filled with fun at Farmor and Farfar's house. We played all day and then had a wonderful dinner in celebration of Arivid. Sunday was more celebration with friends. It's snowed here and been rather cold. Winter is here!!

Sixten could stand and look at the puppies all day.

We had some wonderful light this morning. Thought this was a great photo opportunity.

Halloween Fun

Sixten with his great grandma who turned 82 today.




Sixten looking at his Mama.




He's found his hands and loves sucking on them.

Practicing sitting at the table. It's still a bit dangerous due to the lack of head control. He is really stable but untrustworthy. Boy does he drool, could it be teeth already???

Yesterday was our second annual Halloween Party. Fun was had by all.

We had...

a witch

a skeleton

a lion

an Indian

a clown and a pregnant lady dressed as an old man with a big belly

3 princesses and a few more guests who didn't get their pictures taken.

The Season Is Over

After 5 intense weeks of fishing it's now time to put the nets away until next year.

Sweet Sixten

11 weeks old today!

Requests

Axel's uncle wanted me to post some pictures of the puppies. They are thinking of getting one of them and wanted to see what they looked like. So these pictures are for them :)

Saga's Gymnastics

Every Sunday we go to gymnastics, all three of us. Sixten usually sleeps while Saga shows off her skills. She has extremely strong arms and can really jump. It's a great way to start a Sunday.

Look I Can Sit

I propted Sixten up this morning in the chair. He is pretty stable for a 10 week old. He's so sweet and wonderful. Looks a bit sour in this picture though, need to get one of his cute smile.

My Little Cowboy

The shaggy haired big sister


Saga came out of her room with the cowboy hat that my dad bought for her. It's too small so shw wanted brother to try it on. It just so happened that Sixten had on his pink pj's, he was so coordinated.
