Dad Made It!

Today I had my driving test and I made it. I woke up 5.30 in the morning to get ready. The test began for the group at 8.30 and for me it ended about 15 in the afternoon. After 2 weeks of intense practise I finally crossed the finish line. I made it. Milton and Denver´s been with grandfather and Marianne for the entire day. It´s been raining most of the day so playing inside and a walk is all they´ve done. Tomorrow will be a better day :)

Thanx for the help grandpa and Marianne.

The bike I used for the test. A bit battered bike with many miles on it but it made me smile today, a Honda CB750.

The conditions for today. I was waiting for my turn on the landing strip.

Milton built a castle with lego. First time that I know of.

Denver the little cutie.

A Calm Easy Day

Today was my last day at MC school before the test tomorrow. While I was there Milton and Denver was with their grandfather and Marianne. They went to my aunt´s summer house around noon and after I was done with school I met them at that house.

The rest of the day was more of a fixing day. Not much else happened today. It was a hot day but today we had a lot of clouds. Of course, tomorrow it is suppose to rain. Perfect for my MC test. I am trying to stay positive but I have never done break tests in rain/water before so I dont know how that feels. Keeping my fingers xrossed :)

Hot Day On The Lake

While I was downtown, Marianne and grandpa took care of the boys. They are feeling better and got their favorite food for lunch, pancakes. After I got back they played in a bucket of water so that they could cool down. Later on for dinner we took grandpa´s little fishing boat to a camping site on the other side of the lake for some pizza. The boys second favorite food, and yes they ate a ton :)

Milton liking the ride.

Middle Sweden

The boys and I arrived in Mora yesterday. We are visiting grandfather and wife at their house in Dalarna. Both boys are a little sick. Denver´s almost out of it, but Milton´s just started. Milton´s fever is gone but his nose is running like a flood. Denver´s almost "nose" dry but he´s got the cough Milton has.

Today we got a visit from several of my cousins and their kids. I also got to meet some of my aunts. Milton and Denver was a bit shy but then again being sick always makes Milton and Denver "daddyish".

When the evening came Milton´s cough got worse and he even puked a few time because he coughed so much. Tomorrow I will go and get some cough medicin we got prescibed in Stockholm but never bought. Denver´s okay, just a few coughs.

Kid invasion :)

On Our Way To Gramps

Today we went to the train station in Stockholm. The boys and I are going to gramps with wife in Dalarna. It´s Denver´s first train ride and MIlton´s second but last time Milton was so little he doesn´t remember a thing. It´s also their first time going on a trip with just daddy. Mom´s home with the horses. I trying to get my bike license so that I can be just as cool as mom :)

Both Milton and Denver acted good on the train. I had a movie on the whole time, some cars, monkeys and snacks. Milton did go nr 1 at the wrong time (probably as a protest) and Denver did nr 2 but it was all good.

Denver´s first train trip and visit to Dalarna.

Midsummer 2010

First Ramin´s place, then Mummi´s. Today we enjoyed the end of summer, the longest day has come and gone. Now the end is near but we will enjoy every second. Milton and Denver got to see the midsummer ceremony. It´s probably the first they will remember. Now it´s just some weeks left before we leave for Finland. I can´t wait. I have always loved to go to the summer house.

The "new" boat Ramin found and we´ll use and leave in Finland.
