Will she be a musician??













It's really hard to believe that it is already the end of February. The weeks have been filled with play groups and skiing. There isn't any school this week due to something called "sport vacation". I guess they thought it would be used for children to get outside and do something active. We have been skiing everyday this week with Helen and the girls. It's so fun. Saga gets to come too. We just put her on the sled and Alina skis away. She enjoys it, and we usually don't hear a peep out of her until we are almost back home. Today we met up with Vilgot and his mom Minna. Saga and Vilgot really like to carry plastic containers around. There was a fit of a fuss over who would get which one.
Axel decided to shave his beard over the weekend. I added a before and after picture.
The snow is falling and they say it's going to come down all weekend. We don't have any big plans but to just hang out and enjoy each others company.

Going down the slide!!



Saga loves to go down slides. We were at playgroup on Tuesday along with three other kids that are the same age as Saga.

My Sweet Valentine


Valentine's Day last year



My little cleaner!




Saga finds it to be so fun to act like she is washing things and dragging around the broom. She runs from the kitchen to the bed room scraping them on the ground. I think she likes the sound it makes.

Week in Review














Things are looking up when it comes to sleeping. Saga and I have slept through the night the last two nights, YEAH! Our week has been very full. We've tried to get outside as much as possible. Axel bought Saga a sled which she loves to ride around in outside and inside. On Sunday Axel's parents had a birthday party for Saga. The balloons were the most exciting thing for Saga, well I think the cheesecake was a favorite as well. My mom bought Saga a little bike when we were in the US. We got it in the mail this week along with a rocking chair that my grandma sent to Saga. It is 70 years old and we are more then happy to take good care of it. Saga loves sitting in it and saying "rock rock rock". Sorry about the sideways pictures:)

Fun in the Snow- with a bit of jet lag



We made it back to Sweden after a very long and tiring trip. Saga has been wanting to go outside and walk in the snow in her new shoes. She actually goes to the door and picks up her shoes to say she wants to go out. She also likes to wake up in the middle of the night and play for three hours. We are both really jet lagged and it seems like I always forget how horrible it is to have to re-adjust. For example, last night she went to bed at 9:15, was awake at 12:30 am and didn't go back to sleep until 4:00 am. This leads to us waking up late because we are both so tired, vicious cycle. Hope it gets better soon!
