Good byes

Yesterday I dropped Elias off at nursery. He usually gets a bit upset when I leave and it always breaks my heart. It looked as though things were going the normal way yesterday. He hugged my legs and the bottom lip started to curl up. But then, when I reached the gate and hugged him he just said bye bye, waved and walked off.

Today when I was about to leave for work and he was waiting for his breakfast I went up to him and gave him a kiss and hug and said good bye. Then all of a sudden he kissed my bump. Guess if my heart melted!!

Carved my/our first ever Halloween pumpkin yesterday and it looks really good! Will post a picture soon...

Hair and bump

Went to Uppsala on the weekend and Finally got a haircut. Here is the result:


Yesterday Anki stopped by. She's due in 3 weeks..

Week gone

It's been a while, sorry about that! Last weekend my cousin babysat (Thank you!!!) on Saturday and David and I went into town. First we saw an exhibition by our friend Helena at 125 kvadrat. After that we mooched around for a bit and then went to a superb restaurant: Smak. The concept is small dishes and you buy any combination of 3, 5 or 7 dishes. We got 5 each and it was soooo yummy!

On Tuesday they had a "autumn party" at the nursery and all the kids was supposed to wear autumn crowns. David made Elias' crown on Sunday and we thought it looked really nice. The boy didn't seem to appreciate it quite as much though..

On Tuesday night Elias got ill so he's been at home on Wednesday and Thursday but today he could go back to nursery again.

The coming weekend we're pretty busy. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Uppsala for a haircut (crazy, I know!), and then in the afternoon we're going to Jacob's 3rd birthday party. On Sunday we're going to see our friends Kajsa & Matthias + kids in Uppsala. The car will clock a fair bit of mileage this weekend to say the least...

Back home

After a few great days in England we are back in reality now. Here is a few pictures as a recap. More pictures can be seen in the September&October photo album

First snow

This morning when I dropped Elias off at nursery it started to snow! Guess if the kids were excited! The snow didn't settle of course but it was still nice. Elias kept shouting "snövar, det snövar" (roughly: snowning, it's snowning). Very cute!

There seems to be a tradition here in the south that when it snows the first time you are allowed to have glögg. I haven't really heard about that before but it sure would be nice. A shame though that I can only have the non-alcoholic kind - that is pretty yucky... Maybe if Dave wants some I can have a sniff anyway; "skaru lukta på glöggen? " (classic quote from classic film shown at Christmas)

Hmm, getting all Christmassy now all of a sudden...

A big night ahead

Tonight we are finally making the Move from the cot to the "big boy bed".


I think a lot of our friends have done it sooner but we haven't really wanted to "rock the boat" since his sleep has worked really well lately, plus that in the summer we knew he would be sleeping in a cot in most places we visited. But now it is time! The bed is starting to look rather small and I personally is finding it pretty hard to lift him in and out of bed. And with my "condition" it ain't exactly going to get any easier.

So, please keep your fingers crossed for us tonight.

Sisters with bumps

We're 7 weeks apart. Does it show?
