First tumble.

Leia had her first tumble down the stairs today. :( She screamed plenty, and she wanted her Mommy to hold her but she soon felt better. At least it was American stairs, so they are carpeted. And the stairs aren't very steep.. they were probably the best stairs for her to fall down if she had to fall down any at all. Hopefully it will help her to pay more attention, and realize that someone might not always be there to catch her if she happens to decide to take a jump. It didn't take but 3 minutes until she was up infront of the TV, dancing and swinging her hips to an Iron Maiden concert on TV...

Fredrik and I are enjoying our time. :)

Yesterday we got to spend most all of the day with Carie and Lillie. :) Pictures to come! And today we got to spend a couple of hours with another very close school friend of mine, Irene, and her son, Jason. There are still a couple more people to try to meet up with.

We got back from Kentucky on Wednesday evening, then Fredrik and I decided to go to the drive-in movies. :)) We had so much fun! I've taken him only once before. This time we saw: Land of the Lost and Terminator. Terminator was a great movie! Land of the Lost wasn't so good. :))) But it was 8$ (70 sek) per person for both movies! So 4$ a movie (32sek). And the food they sell is delicious! After the looong drive, we hadn't eaten since lunch at 12.00 and we didn't get to the movies until 21.30, so we were starving! We bought almost one of everything they had. :D (Pizza, mozzeralla sticks, corn dogs, popcorn, etc.. etc..) But the food was yummy (and cheap).

Then.. we spent Thursday with Carie. Today we went shopping and bought a cute Cleveland Browns fleece jacket for Leia. :) And then Fredrik and I stopped at an Army surplus type store in Oberlin and bought some neat t-shirts, including one for Leia.

The last 2 days I've also made plenty of homemade bread for my parents' freezer. I hope to make more before we leave, if I have time.

Tomorrow, we hope to meet with another friend, and then go to more fun stores if we have time. We also have 2 high school graduation parties to attend.

Sunday, we have church, and then my sister and hopefully some of her bunch will be coming here to have a cook-out with us! Looking forward to that. :) Leia will get to play with some of her.. cousins, and second cousins. :)

On Sunday, Fredrik and I are also planning to go into Cleveland and go to Border's Bookstore and have a nice, late dinner at Friday's.

Then we'll leave early Monday morning for Niagara. The drive shouldn't take longer than 4-5 hours. Hopefully traffic will be okay and we can make good time. We have booked a fantastic hotel room and we are SO looking forward to the trip. :) This will be MY FIRST NIGHT away from Leia since she has been born.. :/ (Fredrik went away on business not long after she was born, so he's been away from her before.) So I am curious to see how I do being away from her for so long. She is 20 months old, and I've never spent more than 5 hours away from her at one time. I have a feeling it will be more difficult for me than for her.
