First bath!

We decided to give Billy his first proper bath yesterday. At first, George was going to wait for his bath so that Billy could use his little tub, but then he wanted a bath at the same time, so Billy had to use a bucket! He didn't like it very much, but he was lovely and smooth afterwards anyway. Next time he'll be using G's tub, and we'll see if that works better.

Sean's 3rd Birthday!

On Saturday, we went to celebrate Sean's 3rd birthday. The sun was out and even though the wind was a little chilly, we managed to be outside for most of the time. Lovely for both adults and kids!

George occupied Sean's motorbike whenever possible, as always, and whizzed down the little slope. Brothers Sean and Leon, cute as ever!

Oh, almost forgot. On the way there, as we were to pick up a present for Sean, George decided he thought Sean should have a cardigan, just like his own - 'cause it's so nice'. I think that might be a little difficult, I said, since your farmor bought it for you in England... Hardly believed my eyes as Sean was sporting the exact same cardigan as we arrived!! A present from England apparently...

Tiny

So lovely. Growing up so fast though, so better make the most of it.

Sunny Boo Trädgård

The sun continued to shine for most of last week. Me and Josefin took the mini boys to Boo Trädgård for some coffee and cake! Herman is fast turning into a big charmer, so cute!

The afternoon meant cleaning day at dagis, which was followed by hot dogs and (dry) burgers... Mates George and Alfred munching away - only hours after Alfred pushed G off the play boat. Perhaps revenge since George did the same to him about a year ago?

First smiles!

Billy's started smiling! Think the first proper smile came last Sunday, the 8th of May, but they are coming a lot more frequent now, a few a day! Can't wait until we can communicate even more, and think George will love it! He's in Billy's face most of the time, pulling funny faces and caressing him and cuddling him. Will be great to see when Billy responds to that!

Farmor and Grandpa Chris visiting

Last weekend, Farmor and grandpa Chris came to visit. George was over the moon of course, and we had a lovely time in the wonderful summer weather! Mostly stayed around the house, pottering about in the garden and going for walks, but we also went in to town to show the gallery, and everyone apart from little Billy Finn and myself went in town for a walk around on Sunday too.

Also, showing off Matt's tomato plants (these are only a fraction of the total amount...) which are growing by the minute! And our neglected gooseberry (krusbär) bush, which Matt and Chris finally rescued from behind the house, split into four new bushes, and planted at the end of the garden. Picture shows how we gave it a much needed bath in George's paddling pool!
