1 Year Has Passed

A year ago Elina's grandfather passed away. Today we all got together in his memory at Elina's grandmother's home. It's not often we get to meet Elina's grandmother but it is always nice to meet her. Milton and Denver likes to go to her too. They ran around, wrestled and ate like crazy. Cousin Lova and Wilda were there also so there wasn't many slow minutes.

Milton holding the flowers.

The one generation leap.

The monster!

Denver running around the table.. chasing..

..and attacking Milton :)

Milton's turn to chase Denver :)

Lova and Wilda in da house!

The cousin's eating at their own table.

Denver's mastering the spoon.

The 2 oldest cousin's on the same side.

Wilda totally focused.

The innocent.

Getting ready to leave.

Denver kissing great grandmother good bye.

Aunt Anna On Skype

Feels like ages ago we talked.. .. I think actually it was.. october 2010.. or something like that. Whenever it was, it was to long ago. Milton and Denver both remembered Aunt Anna. She´s finished school and is looking for a job. We are all crossing our finger in hope :)

Milton and Denver showing Anna their dinosaurs.

.. and we must not forget the trains :)

Franz 1st Birthday Party

Today we went to Franz first birthday party. It was just Franz family and us. Small and quiet, perfect :) Franz showed us how well he stands. It won´t be long until he walks and talks.

Denver checking out Franz ride.

The birthday boy :)

wow.. flash overflow :)

Milton? What do you want ?... Cake maybe ? :)

Franz first ever cake-candle.

"GIVE ME MY CAAAAKE!!!"

"Chill baby chill" :)

nam-nam..

Looks like Denver has shrunk.

Franz Turns 1 !

Milton and Denver looked like a mess after dinner so I tossed them into the bathtub. Denver only fell under surface 2 times this time.. wow.. He´s getting better :) It´s amazing he makes the same mistake over and over again :) Taking a bath is Milton and Denver's favorite pass time but today the also got to do another thing.

Today my godson turns 1. Milton and Denver congratulated Franz via MMS. On saturday it's party time at Franz place :)

Denver loving the water!

Both Milton and Denver seems confused when I ask them to wave to the camera and say "Grattis" (congratulations) to Franz :)

Grandfather Is Back

Grandfather and Marianne have been away abroad for about 3 months. Two days ago they came back. Milton and Denver had no problem remembering them :) We just had a quick lunch, talked and watched some TV.

Favorite!

Another favorite :)

Just relaxing.

Cookies

The boys were at home today but it´s still very cold outside. The solution ? Make some cookies :) Mom's awesome with all her baking these past weeks. Milton and Denver loves to bake.

Denver also demonstrates his ability to put on his own pants... He was almost successful.

Very nice cookies.

Norovirus.... again!!

It doesn't seem to want to leave. Milton threw up all over our master bathroom yesterday. After I took care of him, while he said

"Jag är sjuk. Nu får jag sova i mamma och pappas säng"
(I'm sick. Now I get to sleep in mom and dad's bed).

I thought.. Great, another puke-fest :) I loaded up with anti-bacterials and kicked the vomits .. butt.

Milton has complained about stomach ache since .. I guess... sunday but I just thought he caught the mild version of the Norovirus. I myself had a weird stomach mon-tuesday, but today it was gone.

Yes, I was wrong. I have much to learn :)

Present 4 Dad

Today Milton is sick and Denver had made me a present at pre-school (daycare). It was a perfect heart and chocolate balls :)

Thank you, Son :)

Sleepy Heads

Just a cute picture of Milton and Denver doing stuff together. They do more and more things together and it shows that they love each other :)

Perfect Valentine

The day of the heart!

I guess it´s a beautiful day today. People showing their love (hopefully other days too :)) In general I don't acctually like this day due to it´s become to commercial pushing people to buy things. Feelings should be shown for free with actions and words. If you do buy something that´s a bonus not a demand :) You don't love someone more just because you buy a gift or take that person out to dinner.

I myself received an MMS from Elina and Denver today. Very very cute :)

I myself wasn't as clever. I just MMS'd Elina this .gif

.. but I also put it in her new cellphone I gave her. A cellphone with flash and 5mpx camera. Now she can send me pictures I can "see" and "use" :)

When I got home I was met with hearts, smiles and warmth :) Elina had made a heart shaped oven pancake and put up small hearts everywhere (love you to, babe :). The boys had chosen their own heart for mom to print out.

Milton chose the middle heart. Denver chose the right heart.

Milton and Denver's valentine cards to me (Milton's to the right)

One of mom's many heart put up around the house. Very cute and loving :)
