Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!

A couple of pictures of our adorable angel. :)) A couple of pictures before she has dirt on her face and food all over her clothes.. :D

We didn't make any plans for today. We had some invitations to some parties with other Americans, but closer to Gothenburg. But we decided to not go anywhere, since Leia is still dealing with separation and all that. We're not sure how she will do away from home yet, and we don't want to try the experience while trying to be social. We really wanna make a trip to the summer house, but again we don't know how she will be and how she will do with sleeping, seeing how it is difficult enough at home.. :)) But that will definitely be the best and first place we will try her out when we think she is ready.

We thought about inviting some American friends to our home for a cook-out today, but we should have planned and asked them awhile ago. By the time we thought about it we decided it was too late to ask - so the 3 of us just celebrated here at home. :) Leia played with the neighbor's grandson, Nils (4 yo), and Fredrik and I hung around the house. The neighbor, Ulla, watched after Leia while she was outside, which was really nice. If Leia runs around lots or into the road, Ulla runs after her and all that, which gives Fredrik and I a nice break. :) And we watch Nils too, when he is around us or when Ulla disappears. :)

I grilled some delicious hamburgers and some hotdogs, made some potato salad and then we had a few other traditional American 4th of July food. I made some delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies yesterday, with Leia's help of course.. :) and then today I made my cupcakes. I only make them once a year. :)
