Summer house with Farmor and Farfar.
Today is Farmor's 61st birthday! Happy birthday, Farmor!
Farmor and Farfar spent the weekend at the summer house so we went to visit with them today. Leia has enjoyed the beautiful weather and she wants to be outside ALL the time, and today was no exception. Farmor fixed a yummy dinner and a yummy cake and we spent lots of time outside.
Leia helping Farmor plant some sunflowers.
Leia sitting with Farfar on the well.
Of course spending time rolling down the hills.
Sitting on the outhouse steps with Farfar.
Playing soccer with Pappa.
Spend some time watering the flowers.
Picking pine cones while taking a walk in the woods with Mamma and Pappa.
Leia's had plenty of practice gathering pine cones with her daycare class.
Since Fredrik had to work on Friday, he decided to come home early on Thursday and we both got to pick Leia up from daycare. Then he worked some on Friday and we spent the rest of the day outside.
Leia wore her first baby sunscreen yesterday. :)) SPF 5000. :D Not really necessary in Sweden, but we'll get plenty of use out of it when we are in the US. The weather has been SO sunny and warm. Very above average for Sweden for this time of the year. Before 11 today, it was 22 degC / 72 degF in the shade!
We feel a little weird though.. I mean.. the weather is really, really warm, and Leia is out in loose pants and a t-shirt. Other neighbor babies that are the same age have jackets and hats! And that is just WAY so excessive. Silly even.
No plans for tomorrow really. I would like to clean, but when Leia wants to be outside, if possible it is best for both of us to be out with her. It is pretty tiring running around after her. :/ We wouldn't mind a rainy day, though. That would let us get some things done inside at least. :) And I don't think the plants/trees/bushes would mind either.
I'm really, really tired. So that is all for tonight!

Catching-up.
So here is my horrible attempt to catch up with the last week..
Hillary:
- has decided to go back to school in the Fall. Going to take Swedish (SAS B), but not sure what else.
- had a fantastic time baking bread yesterday and so thrilled that everything turned out so well. :)
- thinking about making lists for packing for our trip to the US (my obsessive compulsive disorder is shining through).
- not sure I'm going to get through Spring cleaning - I think it may turn into Summer cleaning.
- anxiously awaiting our trip to the US to get a *real* tan.
Fredrik:
- realized he has Friday off this week because it is a "red day" (holiday day) - but he is SO swamped at work that he has to go in and work anyways. :(((
- as mentioned, has TONS to do at work now - of course when he is taking Mondays off.. *sigh* :))
- new workmate won't be starting until June!
- dreading mowing the lawn for the first time this season.
- got a chance to talk to our new neighbors across the street (brick house). They have a 3 year old, and another slightly older child. The Mom's name is Linda. He learned that the kids love Caesar and try to get him to come live with them. :)) Leia and the 3 year old "played" together for a few minutes.
Leia:
- slept record amounts at daycare on Tuesday and Wednesday! Didn't sleep on Thursday but she was very, very happy anyways and energetic and happy and very talkative.
- had a good weekend. Tantrums come and go, but pretty manageable.
- played with her first worm.
- helped Mommy clean weeds and rocks out of the roses, but accidently stepped on one of the rose bushes and killed it). :/ :)
- needs her bangs trimmed.
- loves going into the kitchen by herself and getting into the drawers and picking out her own snack. :)
- has mastered going up and down the stairs by herself!! While walking! (She has never once crawled down the stairs.)
- goes through moments of giving Mom and Dad kisses. :) **Beware the open mouth kisses!**
- has a definite love for MEAT.
- has a new found love for raisins.
- realized that it is much more fun drawing with chalk on the front porch!
- has learned from Pappa how to turn on the "number lock" button on the keyboard so that the light comes on. :)) It is very sweet seeing her little chubby finger find and press down on the key. And then she claps afterwards. :))
The weather was fantastic this weekend!
On Saturday it was SO beautiful! I think I even got a little red! :) I had planned on Friday for us to continue cleaning through the weekend, but we were outside ALL day on Saturday! :) And Leia helped me clean the weeds and rocks out of the roses. :)
Today we had Leia's progress meeting with the 2 main daycare teachers. They absolutely love her and think that she's doing very, very well. She plays well with others (as much as children her age "play" together). They do little "report card" type things, and judge her progress within different areas. Like how well she plays with others, group activities, dressing herself, eating, etc.. :) We got to bring a plant home that she planted. :)) And a flower pot that she painted. :) They said she is very well tempered and very kind to the other children. Which is what we were mostly wondering about. We talked a bit about her having two languages. They said that there are other children her age that speak just the same amount as her -- so we shouldn't be too discouraged with how long it is taking her to speak.
Mormor's surgery went very well! I was able to talk to her tonight and she is recovering. She will start physical therapy already tomorrow. And she will be released from the hospital Thursday, 18.00 EST. Then starting on Monday she'll go to the hospital twice a day for more therapy. So we are thrilled that everything went so well.
Today the weather was also really nice. I washed lots of clothes and Leia played outside with Pappa. We went shopping at one of our favorite stores: Netto. Fantastic store for getting name products cheap. Every week they have a different selection of very low priced items. All of their items are generally cheaper than a normal grocery store, but they don't carry very many options. But it is a fantastic place to shop.
I know I am missing plenty of things, but it is difficult to keep up with blogging when we are so busy. :P I'll try to not be so bad, but when the weather is nice, we are out all day, and then cleaning up baby stuff and now kitchen stuff that Leia carries all around the house. :) Her new "in" thing is to carry the pots and pans around everywhere.
Okay - that is enough. :P A little time on the exercise bike before going off to bed.
