House guests.

Today we had some guests over to our home! :) It was fantastic to have them here. Angelica came over with her daugther, Alonnika, and son, Bowen. We had some of my delicious, homemade rhubarb pie, and ended up chatting for 3½ hours. We had LOTS of fun!

We reserved Alonnika as a babysitter when Leia was only a few months old, but unfortunately we haven't had a chance to have her come over. (We need money in order to go out on a date!!) :))) But we do hope to have her come over some time in the near future.





Leia has a back tooth coming in.. :/ It has been swollen for about 6-8 weeks now, and now it is finally popping through. It has caused her to sleep poorly.. :/ But last night and today she has slept very, very well. Thank God for Baby Tylenol!!

And we all have colds. :) Leia's is much worse, and I am just getting started. Not sure if Fredrik is sick or not. I think we got it from one of the twin girls at Leia's preschool.

Hmmm..

Preschool is going great, though!
On Thursday I left her for 20 minutes. And on Friday I left her for about 45 minutes. Tomorrow she will be there for about an hour by herself. Tuesday she will be there for.. 2½ hours by herself. Then I will come back and join them for lunch. And Wed, Thurs, and Friday she will be there by herself from 9-13.30 or something like that.

On Friday it was only Leia and the little boy, so that was perfect. Gave her a chance to get used to the place more and with the teachers, without it being so crowded. I think it made a big difference for her. I think she was sad on Saturday when we got out of the car and went into the store, instead of her preschool. :( :)) She really likes it when we show up, and she smiles and runs into the room.

I am so pleased with everything. :)
We got our bill, and we'll pay 600kr/100$ a month, for her being there 18 hours a week (72 hours a month). We COULD have her there up to 25 hours if we wanted, or something like that with the same amount of pay, but I think this is good for now. With me not working, I would get pretty bored without my Leia around 25 hours a week.. :P The rest of the fee is covered through taxes by the government (Socialism isn't so bad afterall, huh?).

Fredrik is afraid of how his work week will look. He's certain that his boss is going to call him again and send him to Lilla-Edet.. :/ He has lots of stuff to get done before December. I'm trying to push him to work a little on Saturday's just so he doesn't have to be stressed during the week.

He got his vacation without a problem, so we'll be going to Stockholm the first weekend in December (the 4th). Leave on a Thursday and come home on Monday.

Okay.. that is enough for now.. Even though I know there is probably more.. I forget a lot more when I don't write every day.. but I don't have time for that right now.. :P Even though I am a speed-typer.. :P

Can I have your daycare bill? I pay $150/week just for Trenton. We are trying to get him back on base which will cut our bill to $2something every 2 weeks. Daycare is birth control in itself. Did I thank you for the box, I'm sorry if I forgot. I'm horrible about that kind of stuff, it was really appreciated. I have been meaning to go get a card, but things have been busy/hectic around here. I uploaded some new sono pics on the blog.
