We had a nice day with Nils, Ida and Elina! We walked down to Kalix and had lunch at an outdoor cafe complete with a swingset and a slide. Elina is such a wonderful baby, almost always happy and just adorable.

Sweden!

Chasing duckies
Finally we´re in Sweden!!! I´m so happy to be home! We spent two lovely days in Stockholm together with a very pregnant Kicki and her husband Marcus. Among other things, we got to see Skansen, an outdoor museum/zoo. Liam had a great time and got to pet all kinds of animals and see bear cubs etc. Now we´re in my hometown Kalix enjoying some great weather together with family. Unfortunately, Liam has gotten his fever from last week back, this morning he had about 39.5C (103F). We went to the doctor but he didn't find anything (among other things they checked for strep). Surprisingly, he's still doing great having a blast playing around both inside and out. Apparently, there´s just no stopping this kid.

4th of July

Independence day was spent over at Viveka's and Marcel's house. Viveka's parents were there and they're such nice people. We had a great time and got to indulge in Viveka's sangrias, delicious. Liam had a great time chasing the poor cat around. We realized that Jason and Liam were the only Americans in the crowd.

Checking out the inventory at Barnes and Noble. We go there every Tuesday for storytime

Goodbye to Luc and Jen

Still no teeth? You gotta be kidding me!
Exploring the house
Sadly, we won't se our friends Jen and Luc until we're back from Sweden in August (they're going to NY on vacation). We'll miss them! We go over there to play almost every day...
