Our tall boy

Look at him, he's so tall! I just had to take a picture of him last night when I went in to check on him. Our big boy.

"Mamma fikar"

This morning, I was sat looking through an old issue of 'Family Living' magazine, and there was a feature on Thailand hotels. George got really excited and pointed on the swimming pool and said:

"George och daddy swimming there" (Swenglish, oh yes)

and then he pointed at the actual hotel and said:

"och mamma fikar där" (and mummy's having coffee... 'fika' is the Swedish expression for a typical coffee break, at home or in a café. All Swedes looooves to fika!)

Wacky Vampires

So, me and Matt have been catching up on 'True Blood' lately (Vampire series from the US for those who didn't know). Very good, but some characters are sooo starting to annoy me already... Anyway, as you can see, it has got me a little inspired, and George was in on it too!

George's plants

When Farmor came to visit, she helped plant some sunflowers and luktärtor (not sure about the name in English) and some herbs. Check them out now! And this was a few days ago, the sunflower plants reach way above the edge of the plastic bottles now!

"I'm busy"

"Mamma, ropa på mig"
"George"
"Jag är upptagen"


"Mummy, call me (call on me)"
"George"
"I'm busy"

Playtime at Frank and Nora's

I was very pleased to learn that my old matey Hanna has moved to our neighborhood with her little family! Great stuff! So me and little Mr G went over to see them and check out their house and have coffee and kanelbullar! George loved the three-wheeler motorbike and the small little playhouse. Of course.

Time flies

Seems like only yesterday...

Chillin' with Farmor

George and Farmor having a chill and cuddle on the sofa whilst daddy Matt is burning stuff!

Easter pics

A little late... but, here's George painting a very nice egg for daddy in the morning! Mine was pink, perfectly politically correct...

And then some pics from the Sunday afternoon and the egg hunt with the big soap bubble finale which was enjoyed by the kids and us adults too!

Oh, and what about my cupcakes? Laura, the cake expert in the family, do you approve?

Press coverage

Found this in a design magazine the other day. My design for the Wedding Series was mentioned (well, not my name of course, that will N E V E R happen) and a picture of the packaging I did for Kiviks. Fun!

Balloon obsession

Found this pic in my phone. The other week we went to celebrate little Frank's 3rd birthday. George fell in love with his balloons and was given one on the way home... He fell asleep in the car within minutes, balloon still in his mouth...

Great (Britain) Visit

Have had farmor Christine and Grandpa Chris here since Thursday, a great treat for us all and especially George of course who's getting full attention every minute!

We've had good help from Chris, moving all the stuff from our old loft storage on Friday evening (more boxes and stuff to unpack but it's all here now...), and taking a trip to the dump on Saturday morning as well as a trip to the building center to buy wood to make George a new bed and give us the last kitchen doors...

We've also had some great bonfires to get rid of a lot of the wood lying around. It's good to see the real outdoor space now that most of it is gone, as well as the snow! We'll be spending a lot of time outside I reckon!

Another great surprise visit came in the shape of my much lighter brother Per and mum (mormor Eva) who came to say hello on Friday night! Per looks like, and is, a new man (due to his big weight loss), but still got his big personality which I love so much. We're thankful for him being with us and that everything's gone so well.

On Sunday, me, George, Farmor and Chris went on a nice country side drive to Värmdö. Poor daddy Matt had to stay behind and work. Stopped off for a nice walk and coffee in sunny Vaxholm, and stopped at Siggesta Gård on the way home and had a couple of bargains at their flea market!

Tonight, mormor and uncle Per is babysitting Mr G, when the rest of us is off to see Mumford & Son's at Debaser! Yay!
