Our Sunday Adventure

Sunday morning we woke up ready for a little trip on the snowmobile. The first thing Saga and I did was bake something sweet to take with us. Then we loaded up the snowmobile and headed off. Saga fell asleep in the sled we were pulling behind the snowmobile. We arrived at our destination after 45 minutes greeted by beautiful sunshine and friends. Saga slept for at least two hours after we got there. So we enjoyed some tea and cookies and sunshine. The boys headed off to try their luck at fishing before lunch. Saga finally woke and then it was lunch. The cabin was really warm and cozy. After lunch we all headed out onto the ice to fish. We must have picked a great spot because the fish were biting like crazy. Everyone had a great time and hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Saga's Own Bed

She's pretend sleeping here.

We borrowed a bed for Saga to sleep in this last week. She was so excited about it and couldn't stop talking about getting it. The first night she actually fell asleep in it, I was VERY shocked. She woke after 4 hours and I brought her to our bed. The next night she didn't want to fall asleep in it so I just moved her after she fell asleep. I've decided not to fight her about it and just let it happen. It seems to be going pretty well.

I just thought I'd let you know that if you click on the word VIMEO in the right hand corner of the video box you can get to all of our videos. Just a tip for those of you who have children that like to watch the videos over and over again, you know who you are! :)

Some More Pictures..

I just wanted to add a few more pictures from my last few weeks at home. We went to a baby shower for my friend Stephanie (the lady with the big belly). It's always important to take a few family shots on the day you leave, hence the group pictures. We had such a nice time being my parent's house and visiting with the whole family. I'll have to start planning for the next trip. We are so excited for my parents to come and visit in June. I really can't wait. It will be so fun!!!!

Back in Sweden

Just a quick note to say we made it back to Sweden. Again, the flights went really well. Saga slept a lot, but I wasn't so lucky. Axel surprised us in Stockholm by meeting us at the airport. He spent the weekend with his brother and then flew home with us to Luleå. It was GREAT!! Saga and I have been sleeping all day, it's 3:30 pm and she still isn't awake. Looks like another LONG night, but I know things will get back to normal at some point. I'm trying to stay positive! More to come later. Miss everyone!!

Trip to the East Side

We headed over the mountains to visit with Jim and his family on Thursday. On Friday we drove over to Riverside, WA to visit with my Dad's family; Heather, Halla, and Sage. On Saturday Daniel, Jim, and Grace drove over to spend some time there as well. We visited his grave and had a really nice time together. I wish we could have all gotten together like that when he was alive.

Saga and Grace

Daniel and Saga in one of Dad's old trucks. I love the color!

This is a funny sequence of pictures. We went to visit Dad's grave and were trying to get a group shot. Grace was being her lively self and didn't want to be in the picture. If you look at the next two pictures you can see the struggle and her hiding behind Jim.





The cowgirls! The three girls had a lot of fun together. Saga and Grace are the same age (4) and Saga is 2. Saga mostly like to watch them race around on their stick horses.


Halla and Sage (sisters)


Saga's first horse ride. She actually loved it and talks about "her horse" Duffy.

Saga and Sage playing in the snow. The weather was beautiful.

Saga and I eating our yummy sandwiches that grandma made for our picnic. We stopped and watched the elk get feed. There were some pretty big animals there.

Saga and Her Grandparents

Saga and her second cousins (Lance's girls)
Last weekend we went to visit my Grandpa Ralph, my dad's father. It had been years, and he had never met Saga. Walking into their house was like stepping back in time, exactly like I remembered it as a child. My Uncle Lance and his family were there as well, first time meeting them ever. We had lunch and talked a bit about my dad and the past. It was a pleasant afternoon re-connecting with lost family.
