Welcome home away from home Liam!

Finally!  It has been a long wait for everyone to get a visit from older brother Liam. Illïus and Xavier came with me on the train to Stockholm, and oh boy!  that was a ride and a half!

Our family (except for dad) gets real motion sick and more likely than not, one of us will throw up on a journey. Illïus threw up a few times on the train to Stockholm, and continued on the train to the airport. Thank goodness for the abundance of plastic bags that are attached to every seating row. Xavier's fleece cowboy hat also helped Illïus from images zipping by his eyes.

Needless to say we hit the drugstore immediately when we arrived at the airport, and the ride home was smooth as butter.


Through the years, we have picked up Liam and Duncan at the same exact spot for obvious reasons.  This time however; we moved clear across the arrival hall to prank Liam.  Illïus and Xavier stalked him so he was not lost :)

 

Welcome home Liam, WOW you grew tall!



WE MISSED YOU!

What bugs children see

Totally amazes me how different children see the world.  They notice the smallest of things.
 
Here they stopped me to look and talk about the real big bee in the middle of an apple blossom.  A loooooong discussion about animals and honey making took place, and I cannot even begin to describe the excitement they experienced when they came across the green, weird looking bug to the right.

Preschool day + cowboy = Spiderman







Sweden celebrated preschool day today, and he went as a proud American jeans loving cowboy.  He came home with a Spiderman face :)

With bugs come silly boys


It is time to go look at spring bugs, but not until they check out what I have up my nose.

Walk towards the light...







Anïas, Illïus, Xavier and me were trekking on our bikes through the woods next to the children's school (Fokusskolan i Nyköping) when the sun was setting.  We took this surreal photo with the iphone.  Walk towards the light children hehe... or alien abduction?
