Luke and Michelle

Fishing season is in full swing here in Sundom Sweden.  Michelle and Luke have arrived safely and are now on our schedule.  Sixten and Luke are getting to know each other through hair pulling and toy grabbing-  Michelle is doing a great job of taking care of the kids and helping out with the work.

Been spending a few weekends out in the woods with farmor and the girls enjoying some fika and berry picking.
The kids helping out with the shaking of the nets.

What a treat!  A real tractor on our lawn.  Sixten even got to ride inside.

Our lovely house guests who are being such a great help.

Axel's 34th


We celebrate Axel's 34th birthday last week.  The beautiful ash berries made a wonderful center piece.  Fish soup and bread were served with cake for dessert.  Saga has started to go to pre-school/daycare for 15 hours a week.  It's just to slowly transition her into the whole"school system" way of things.  She seems to be enjoying it, and I have to admit, it's nice to have a little time for just Sixten.  We are starting the countdown to Michelle and Luke's arrival.  They will be staying with us for 5 weeks helping out with the caviar fishing.  SO EXCITED!  Moose hunting starts this week too.  I'm heading outside to enjoy the break in the rainy weather.  I see sun and need to soak some of it up.
