More recap

Thought I should continue the recap so no one feels left out! :-)

After mum and dad were here they went down to my sister in Lund and visited her for a few days. Meanwhile we oiled the terrace. It is looking so nice now!
Wednesday a week ago Alison and Russell came and it was so great to see them. We visited Skansen again and managed to see a few more animals this time, including a moose baby. So cute! On Friday Sweden celebrated Midsummer and as always the weather was a bit crappy. In the morning we had some ok weather though and went down to the lake for a picknick. In the evening we had a semi-traditional midsummer meal and some snaps (and songs of course!).
Russell also helped Dave mount our TV on the wall. We think it will stay up.... So now we have re-arranged the room a bit and we think it is for the better. Now we just need to win the lottery so we can afford some new furniture and then it will look spectacular!

Yesterday my sister and the dogs came. She is working today and we are dogsitting. We haven't told her yet, but we are planning to make sure to get the favour returned and go to the cinema or something one night. Moahahaaa. ;-)

A short recap of a long time

So sorry about the lack of blog updates.. Here comes a little recap of all the stuff we have been doing lately.

The Hills visit
Between May 26-30 the Hills family came to visit us. We had a great time and the weather was super. We spent one day at Skansen, one day at the lake, and made a trip to Kaknästornet. We had a great time and we think they liked it too. The previous owners of the house left a big trampoline which was a big hit with the boys (and the adults too).
Dave also appreciated the help he got from Oliver with strengthening the roof of the shed. A few other things got taken care of as well with Oli in the house.

Joyce's visit
Joyce came to visit us between June 2-8 so she was lucky enough to be around for Elias' first birthday! Apart from celebrating Elias we also made a daytrip to Gustavsberg where we looked in a few nice shops selling porcelain and had a nice lunch.


We also saw the smoke from a nearby fire...We had a day at the lake as well where Elias got to try a bit of David's soft ice cream which turned out to be a bit of a mistake. Elias thought it tasted very nice and when there was no more ice cream left he screamed like crazy. We got a few weird looks from people around us..

The Bloms
On Saturday the 7th my mum and dad came, just in time for the birthday party held on Sunday. Dad helped David with the shed roof a bit and sanded the terrace. After they left we oiled it and the terrace now looks better than ever.

On mum and dad's last day here they were very nice and babysat for us while we went to Bwin's summer party.

More pictures

Sorry about the poor rate of updates lately. We have had so much fun with all of our visitors that we haven't had time to update the blog.

I have posted some of the pictures we took while the Hills were here. They can be found in the April&May album. It was a great week with great weather.. Will write more about that and Joyce's visit, and the birthday party, and my parents visit on a boring rainy day in the future.. ;-)
