Elena

Elena lost her last milk tooth today!
Well, she actually pulled it out herself. She woke up this morning with a tooth ache so I took her to the dentist and he said he better pull it as it had a hole in it. But you´ll need some anesthesia. No Elena said, I am not and she was serious. And determined as she is she said maybe I can just do it myself and she reached in and pulled out the tooth with her fingers. Yes it was loose but not very and I have laughed a couple of times already today at the expression on the dentist´s face as he stood there with his mouth open staring at Elena while his assistance got something to catch the blood in. I have never experienced this in my 35 years as a dentist he said, more to himself as he walked out, still mouth open.
Elena was not even proud over herself after, she said just matter of fact that she did not want him to do it. Later I realized it reminded me of me, delivering her...I just did not want any doctor doing it so better just do it myself!

Here she is, in her new wig for Halloween!

August pictures...

Spinner and I jumped some jumps and had lots of fun!

Elena and Sebastian at Vallarna in Falkenberg.

Carin and Elena

A short visit to my dad´s house. Here Christina, Johan, Carin,my dad and Elena.

On our way home we stayed at a gorgeous lake in Dalarna and went for a swim. Even the cats did not mind cooling down in the water.

Julianna and Sebastian posing at home. They all love dress up,and Sebastian is really getting the hang of it now.

Julianna´s birthday party. She is really digging into the ice cream cake, isn´t she!
Pictured are Sonny, Julianna, Embla and Luna.

A serene day at the lake canooing with Moa.

An native american festival where Juliana enjoyed the bow and arrow.

Elena went shooting with a rifel instead, she was really good too!

At a cultural festival in Stockholm.

We have our camper set up at the campground in Kungsgården and we go visit sometimes.

Sebastian loves to play with the girls and as they both bring home friends often he is extatic daily. Julianna bicycles by herself to school now and we have a good weekly routine established so I feel more at ease then ever. I have lots of fun with Sebastian during the day, although missing Julianna some as she stays in school until 2 pm now. While Sebastian takes his nap I take time to write on my book. We all enjoy beautiful fall days outside with the horses as well. Elena settled for theatre class only as an extra this fall while Julianna is busy almost every day with extra curriculum.

Back ... with wonderful summer memories

Wow, it´s been three months! Well I´d like to share some more wonderful summer memories from Falkenberg.

My sister spent some fun weeks with us! Here at Olofsbo beach.

It was a hot summer and we spent plenty of time at the nearest lake to cool off.
In the beginning Sebastian was happiest on the dock but eventually enjoyed the water more and more.

Beach fun!

Julianna loved jumping from the dunes.

Fun with the camera...

Julianna, Elsa and Elena at the lake.

We had visitors from the Netherlands. Sebastian loved playing with Govin.

Janne, who is doing fabulously, playing with Sebastian.

Julianna performing a dressage program with Micko.

Sebastian loves to ride too!

Elena with her summer horse Viola. She performed both a dressage and jumping program.

Micko got to come to the lake as well cause he loves to swim!

A view of Sweden from the only height in the south, a long ridge.

Blueberry picking was fun and so tasty!

Fun at the lake.

Horse action!

Great friends Elsa and Julianna.

Govins sister Alaina and Sebastian looks happy here but argued more then agreed.
