Fredrik starts his 2nd vacation tomorrow (7 days off from work). :P Then he'll have his 3rd vacation (5 days off??) the last week of August. (And then his 3 weeks off that he had the beginning of June. Gotta love the Socialist attitude towards work.) ;)
The last 2 weeks at work, Fredrik has been completely alone! Since everyone else takes their vacation at this time.. he's been completely alone in the office, which he doesn't mind at all. He knows that it is going to be quiet and that no one can come bother him, so he gets LOTS of work done.
He has been working pretty much non-stop these 2 weeks with the sanitation project, which still isn't done. :/ It is pretty much almost done though, and these weeks, Fredrik has had to work on putting together finalized maps of the area. The project only lasted 12+ months longer than it was supposed to.. :D But Fredrik is a little sad to see his workmates leave. :/ He's been working with them for over 2 years and he has gotten close to them. He really likes the Belgian guy that he works with. Fredrik's schedule is going to be much more empty now that that project is finally coming to an end. They have been rotating guys and sending them up to work in Norrland (FAR North in Sweden) (in Kiruna maybe?? where they are relocating an entire town. They mine under the town, and whoooa.. big surprise, the entire town is sinking! So they are having to move the town). But they are sending guys with no families and not really sending anyone with children, so that no one has to be away from their families. So Fredrik probably won't be sent, BUT that means that Fredrik is going to have to travel more here where we live and cover all the jobs that need to be done since others are going up North. Wooohh.. that was a mouthful to explain. :)))
During Fredriks vacation we want him to spend more time with Leia, obviously. :) And we hope to get some painting done on the outside of the house. A few odd things like that here and there. One of us watch Leia while the other one can get things done. :) During his vacation in August, Leia will be at daycare, so we hope to get LOTS done then.
Yesterday, I was out working on weeds and Leia was running around like a crazy baby. :)) Then Nils came outside with Ulla. Leia instantly ran into their yard and started playing. :) Ulla said that she had it covered and that she would watch Leia. :) That was sooooo nice. :)) So I was able to continue working in the yard and have a little break. :) Very nice indeed. Ulla really, really likes Leia and tries to hug her and hold her every chance she gets. :) Nils does the same. He tries to rub noses with Leia and steal kisses here and there. :)) Fredrik and I were trying to decide when Leia and Nils will end up having their summer "romance." :)))
Some pictures from yesterday, Leia playing with Nils and Ulla:

She looks like a big girl running after the ball, then she turns around and she is still my baby girl with her "bop":)
