6 years.

A cute picture of Leia in her trendy little outfit. :P All is well here I suppose. :P I know it has been awhile. Sometimes there just isn't time and other times it is actually nice to get a little break. :)


On Saturday, we drove to the summer house and spent the day there. We had the pleasure of meeting a family friend and it was lots of fun chatting with her through the day! :)







We had a bit of a scare while we were there, to say the least!
She decided to go down the porch steps, which are very steep, by herself while I was getting her shoes. She didn't fair too well and she fell off the porch pretty violently and wedged herself in between an enormous flower pot and the porch and hit the stones in the ground pretty hard. She screamed and screamed and I managed to get her out. She was very angry. :/ :) Not hurt, maybe sore, but more just scared I think about the horrible fall. Afterwards she mumbled things to the effect of "dumma blomma" (stupid flower). :D

She sat in my lap, but that didn't make her feel better and with all the screaming Fredrik had started walking up to the house. She jumped out of my lap as soon as Fredrik reached the front of the house. She started running as soon as she got down and managed to wedge herself through the small space between the fence and the hedge. The same second as she passed through the gate, we heard a car coming. Cars speed up and down this road soooo fast. She took a few steps into the road and stood there and Fredrik was already on his way to get her. I froze, as well as Farmor and our guest. Fredrik grabbed her at the same moment the car swerved.

I was still shaking an hour after the incident.

Her little life literally passed before my eyes.
Probably scared the poopies out of the driver of the car too. If anything hopefully it will make someone drive a little slower on that road from now on (but I doubt it).


Here are some pictures from our day there!












Then on Sunday, Fredrik and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary! :) It honestly feels like it should be longer than that, but I think that is just because we have been together for so long. We didn't do anything to celebrate, but we did watch a movie that Mormor and Morfar sent for us after Leia went to bed. :) They have promised to babysit Leia so that we can go out and have a belated anniversary dinner. :)

Otherwise things are going well. Leia is enjoying daycare and Fredrik has very little to do at work. Which also means he has very little to give the new guy to work with. I told Fredrik he can start sending him out on our shopping errands. :D

The weather has been decent. Very hot for a couple of days and then it has cooled down a lot, a little more like Fall on some days. We get a little rain still most every day.

I'll try to make it not so long before the next post!

Such sweet pictures!! She always seems to have a good time there! Her near tragedy also made us feel very sick to our stomachs:( Things can happen in the blink of an eye!

Jag läste ett bra tips att få bilar att köra mer sakta. Ställ en barnleksak, t ex en trehjuling i kanten av vägen så ser det ut som ett barn ska komma upp på vägen vilken sekund som helst och bilarna saktar in..Kanske något att prova! :)
