Sixten & Saga's Visitors

Some pictures from the last three weeks. Can't believe I don't have more of my mom but that was such a busy time. The camera wasn't a priority. We are back to our family of four after three weeks of visitors. Sixten is growing and Saga is enjoying being a big sister.

Saga showing off her great face-painting skills. Two happy customers!

Making smores out in the teepee.

Michelle was Saga's horse the whole week. Notice the cowboy boots on Saga. Michelle actually sent those to her when she was a baby. She loves to wear them now.

Michelle, Bill, and Saga really excited to eat dinner.

Sixten loved to curl up on Michelle.

Sixten LOVES to sleep if someone is holding him.

Saga with her baby in her pack (just like I do with her brother).

Sixten wide awake.

One of those evenings where everyone wanted to be with mom. Both of my babies were asleep on me.

Still Waiting!

Just a quick update on the baby situation. My due date was yesterday and baby didn't make an apperance. We are picking up my mom at the airport today (Friday) at 4:30. So it seems like she will be getting to see me very pregnant. With Saga she arrived the day after she was born, which actually worked out perfectly. It will be interesting to see how this all works out. I'll keep you posted!

New Videos

We are doing well here. Hard to believe it's the last week of July. My mom will be here in two weeks and the baby sometime before that we hope. I downloaded a few new videos. Saga is really into playing soccor right now. She tries to get everyone that comes and visit to play a game with her. The other new video is of her dance recital that was in May. Better late then never. Just click on the link below and it will take you to the videos.

37 Weeks

Fanny and Alina stayed the night on Sunday. The girls made signs and watched the soccor game from Saga's bed. GO SPAIN!


Saga and her friend Vilgot.

37 Weeks pregnant and now we are just playing the waiting game. I feel great just a bit tired.

June Fun

My brother Daniel and his girlfriend Liz came to visit us. They were here for four very short fun filled days. The pictures are in the wrong order but you get the picture. We spent lots of time outside in the beautiful weather. We loved having them here and can't wait for them to come back next year, hint hint.

group picture before heading to the airport.

Liz and Saga inside the cabin that all of our guests get to stay in. It's so cozy in there.

Liz and Daniel wanted to take home a reindeer skin. Axel has so many skins that they got to choose one from our collection.

Mid-Summer strawberry cake and coffee. Just one of our treats we had that day.

Alina got confirmed on Friday (Mid-Summer Day)

Alina, Fanny, and Viktor ( syblings)

Alina's confirmation group. She's the last one on the left in a white robe.

At the church for Alina's confirmation. Daniel's face says it all. One hour of sitting there understanding nothing, I guess you could say they were bored but they were good sports.

Daniel and Mormor. She just loves him!!

Mormor sporting a pair of Daniel's sunglasses.

Daniel and Liz

Saga is really into sign language lately. We have a book that she just had to show Uncle Daniel. He was a fast learner.

Uncle Daniel kicking Saga. I guess they were playing, haha.

Uncle Daniel and Saga at the boat harbor.

Liz and Saga on the boat.

Daniel and Axel sitting in the back of the boat. The girls were in the front.

Lunch outside in the yard.

Liz and Axel hanging out at the picnic table on their first morning here.

Saga fell asleep at 6:00PM on the lawnmower. I guess you could say she was tired!

I thought this was a funny sequence of pictures. She can turn from grumpy to happy in a matter of seconds. It can go the other way as well.

We had some guests over for coffee and Saga ran out of her room dressed like this. Underwear on her head and crown around her belly.

Saga and Elin

Saga loves to hug on Elin. Elin is very patient with Saga, she normally doesn't like to hugged and touched so much but she let's Saga do it. They are cute friends.
