It becomes overwhelming the amount of information that that I feel like I need to catch you all up on which doesn't help procrastination! But I'll put up a lot of pictures in this blogpost and describe them some:
This is E listening to his baby sisters heartbeat. My sister has a small portable doppler machine
that I have at home, so you can listen to the baby whenever you want! It's pretty neat!
My boys have both just woken up form a nap :)
E with my mom on "Valborg".
E thoroughly enjoying an ice cream cone the size of his head!
These brothers love each other so much! They make each other laugh all the time... (and cry!!)
This is a strange phenomenon that I hadn't taken part of before. In May every year they have a big showing of the cows getting let out to pasture after being cooped up all winter. They go absolutely bananas with joy!
M watching the cows.
...and they serve warm cinnamon rolls and milk for all who come out! We are talking 3000-5000 people!
Family on a walk by the church we got married in (you can see it behind). It's also where my father is buried.
We shaved to boys heads for summer. It has reduced the sweat smell at the end of the day ;)
The boys with Auntie Sofia, or as E says "Iiiiiaaaaa" they enjoy having her around again!
We were very blessed to have Isaacs mom visiting for 3 weeks in June this summer. It was lovely to have her!
Another strange swedish phenomenon: When you graduate from high school, you get trucks decked out in aspen tree branches, hang up signs written on sheets, put on obnoxiously loud music, and unfortunately most get very drunk. Then they drive around town dancing and shouting with joy from being done with school.
This was taken at close to midnight in June. It barely gets dark in the summer. It's very nice, but a few nights you long for some darkness.
This boy loves his Auntie Anna. He will snuggle her as often as he can.
We had the joy of being a part of a dear friend getting baptized. Isaac dunked him in our local lake!
This is me and my cousins and sisters during a family "reunion". Most my relatives live in Finland or other parts of sweden.
M hanging out with a neighbor friend. He is very much enjoying the summer when all the other kids are at home too. We will be putting the kids in daycare just a few hours a week this fall for that reason...during the school year there are literally no other kids at home for them to play with, they are all at daycare. So after last winter we decided that it would be good for them to get to see some other children during the school year. And maybe I would have some time to get laundry done?!!! :)
M ready to go swimming in the lake!
Trying to brush E's teeth is usually a battle, this is what it looks like most the time!
New "racer-outfits", as M calls then, from farmor Gwen.
We had the joy of having yet another visitor in July! Our favorite Esther! It was so much fun to have her here, and to have her see what life in sweden looks like!
In most of july you can go pick your own strawberries and then you pay for them by the liter. These were the most delicious, juicy, flavorful strawberries I've ever had in my life!!!
M picking strawberries.
I love taking pictures of the boys sleeping. They're so cute....
....and quiet!!!
Isaac found a swedish bread he likes. This is only half of one piece.
I just got put on sick-leave from work as it's too heavy of physical labor this far along in pregnancy. Either way, maybe...just maybe I'd be better at blogging with more time on my hands.
We covet your prayers as we have many unknowns coming up. God has been so faithful during the process of moving, and this past year, and we know He will continue to be! Pray that we would keep trusting him fully!
We have had some exciting changes and different things happening in ministry. If you would like to get our ministry updates, and mainly prayer newsletter and don't yet - let me know!
'til next time... ;)
