Summer holidays on Öland

The last week of July we spent on Öland (an island off of Sweden’s East coast) together with our friends Sofia and Mattias and their little daughter Isabella. Circumstances last Summer didn’t allow for us all to go on holiday with Sofia and Mattias, so it was great to be able to return to our yearly traditions of having a Summer holiday together. We all stayed in a house we rented together and made sure to make the most of our time discovering as much as possible of the island. We were lucky to do this in brilliant sunshine, as this week must likely offered the best weather so far this Summer. As usual I took ridiculously many pictures… especially of the children during this week (I just can’t help myself!!) and the beautiful scenery, here a selection of some of my favorites 🙂

Happy Christmas & exciting times…

Happy Christmas to all! We’ve had a lovely Christmas so far. Best part watching Noemi enjoy herself. When Father Christmas came, she did exclaim “Dad why are you dressed up as Santa?”… We tried to convience her dad was out throwing the trash… not sure she believed us… Otherwise we’ve been a little nervous for the baby to arrive today, as it was really due yesterday. Luckily nothing happened today and the baby will have it’s own day, not having to share it with the celebrations of Christmas Eve…

Five Year Wedding Anniversary today – Firar träbröllop idag :)

Till min stora kärlek Peter på vår bröllopsdag!
Nu gifta i fem fantasktiska år,
hos dig mitt hjärta bäst mår.
Det går inte en enda dag,
utan att du får mig att glädjas över varje andetag.
Du kanske tror jag överdriver,
men det är så sant som jag skriver.
Tack för att du är du min underbara,
jag lovar att alltid älska dig precis som du vill vara.
Ser fram emot att fira fler bröllopsdagar med dig fint och flott,
enda tills den dagen vi går och lägger oss för gott.
Ps. Det blev ingen present med papper och snören denna gången till dig,
men hoppas dikten gör dig glad och att du känner dig enormt älskad utav mig.
