Erik the Great

This lil guy has my heart. He has be watching me make lattes now since Mother's Day at home. He wanted to make me one, and I agreed to let a 3yr old touch my "precious" new toy. I shared and it was a fun moment. At the end I put a heart on there and he was super proud! What a doll.

No way-YES way!

I should watch what I say. I have been in a dark tunnel of to many tasks, work stress, not many good solutions and lots of projects and not enough time to make it all happen the way I feel it should be done. Telling a few....I wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. If I can make it till the end of summer "the glimmer of light" trip I will be ok.....kind of feel like the below picture shows how I feel inside about getting to take a vacation to Sweden by myself. Ok, maybe it isn't totally acurate...add a couple tears. Now that is better. For the record this couldn't happen with out the "village" who this time is my family in MN! Love that!

Snart kommer jag.....oj oj oj....FY VA KUL VI SKA HAAAA!!!!!!!

And then came a new thought

Yesterday-Peter dropped a thought in my head. Bonus point lots of them ready to expire! Would i want to head off to Sweden? Humm, yah!I assumed he meant me and kids in tow. But he offered and said if we figure out the "kid" part then just GO.

Oh how I miss my girls Tessan....and Frida, not to mention all the family.

I am weird, I think often of Granby Centrum, ICA and walls of candy. Swedish worship, Livets Ord and fika lots of fika.

Almost can't let myself think I could take a trip alone. Weird, silent, uncomfortable...same time....divine, serene, relaxing and could what the doctor ordered!

WANTED-Support person and childcare support to 4 beautiful children for at least a week...will pay in frozen meals, baked goods and dog kisses.

St. George-mini vacation

We went on a Sunday and came home Monday but really had a blast with Peter's co worker's family! Def. going to head back!

Beautiful, Beautiful

One of my favorite songs right now.....

Beautiful, Beautiful. Below are 2 of the gifts that make my life Beautiful!

Lil stinker!

I heard a funny noise, plup.....plup.....and find Franko sitting IN the dog's water dish and one by one dropping dog food into the dog's crate. Oh well at least he wasn't eating it himself.

Shame on me.

Shame on me for not blogging more! I know how some of you friends and family love seeing and hearing about what goes on at our house. Lately it has been a whirlwind of soccer,homework,extra meetings,lots of work,helping out friends and the list goes on! The school talent show was last week and I was so proud of the kids. Emma did great and Julia actually thought up what her "act" would be. She did so well it blew me away! Hope you enjoy the videos.
