Landed!

So we made it to Sweden. The trip went really well, and both boys were able to sleep through most of the night. No wonder, after the hectic final days in Singapore with the apartment move and such.
We're now moved into an apartment in the Nacka township just outside Stockholm, but have not had the energy to unpack everything just yet. But of course we've managed to get online to update the blog ;-)

Nu är vi framme i Sverige efter en smärtfri resa med alla mått mätt. Båda bröderna sov bra under nattens flygning, vilket i och för sig inte är så konstigt efter senaste veckans härjande med flytt och annat.
Vi har flyttat in i en lägenhet i Finntorp i Nacka, men har inte haft energi att packa upp allt riktigt än. Men givetvis har vi lyckats ta oss ut på nätet för att uppdatera bloggen ;-)

The Final Countdown

We had the salvation's army over today to have a look at the final furniture to go, and they were picky! They didn't want our perfectly splendid sofa bed. I cannot believe them! So now we've put up one final ad and we're hoping someone wants it before we need to throw it out.

Now time really flies and there are lots of "last time" of different things, which make us really sad. We had one last dinner at Spizza a few week-ends ago. They still remember us! Last playdate with Atticus. Not that Hugo knew this then because then it would have been impossible to get him home after.


Last Girl's Night Out last night, which unfortunately resulted in yet another gluten disaster, but was good fun until the food reached the tummy, which happened about two hours after eating it. Why oh why is it so difficult that no flour means no flour?! We've had explanations like "but it's only a little bit of flour", or "but you need some gluten to bake bread" or "but it's only plain flour" (which is the same as wheat flour in the commonwealth it seems, hence full on gluten shock).


Hugo is coming to grips with the reality of us leaving and has realised that he is going to miss his friends from school. Although he now wants to watch dvd's in Swedish instead of English if there is a choice, and is looking forward to getting new friends in Sweden that will speak "like we speak" (which is to say Swedish as opposed to "like his friends speak" which is English).


He also asked how to spell Fågelparken (which is "the Bird Park" in Swedish) the other day, and started by himself with the "F". He got Fågel ("Bird") right after just asking which the next letter was, except for the G that was mirrored, but then he restarted with PA for "parken" in front for some reason and didn't have room for the other letters. We're very proud of him anyway!

And then some...

As we've been so lousy when it comes to updating with pictures, or just plain updating the web overall, there are now some pictures from May as well. We're moving back to Sweden soon (less than to weeks now) and the remainder of time might get a little hectic. Sorry for lack of correct spelling. This is what comes from sitting by the computer too late at night. Last pictures are from yesterday's Sport's Day at Hugo's school.

Nu finns det bilder från Maj också, eftersom vi snart flyttar tillbaka till Sverige och kanske inte får så mycket tid att uppdatera webben på slutet. Senaste bilderna är från gårdagens idrottsdag på Hugos skola. Ursäkta alla stavfel. Det tog alldeles för lång tid att ladda upp bilder och gjordes alldeles för sent på natten.

Finally, some pictures!!!

It sure took some time but now the pictures from March and April are out on the web. Lots and lots of them, so beware. We got a new camera, that's why.
