A Family of Fishermen

We've been without internet for a little over a week due to a thunderstorm. So this is a big update about our lives the last few weeks. I could sum it up in one word "fish". The herring season has begun. We had a few days catching only 15 kg. and a few days catching 330kg. I would help Axel with the shaking of the fish after he got back from picking up the nets in the early morning.  Some days Sixten was on my back others he was asleep inside.










Saga is such a little fisherman.  She loves to follow with Axel and never complains in the boat.  Here she is helping him load the nets into the boat. 
                                                        She has great pulling technique.

Axel has started with the dreaded cutting of the grass.  It's his least favorite thing to do in the summer, ever though we bought a new riding lawn mower two years ago.  Sixten on the other hand LOVED to sit on it by himself and with Axel.  He's pointing at everything now with his cute little pointer finger.  Just thought I'd throw this in.


Our house of a beautiful late May afternoon.  The grass is SO much greener now and the trees are full of beautiful leaves.
