Four and two years old... wow!

Hi all of you.

If you are reading this you probably have good faith in me since I haven´t updated in how many months? Here comes a few pictures on the lads. Could it possibly be any more good fun than a four and a two year old? They play, quarrel, laugh, pull jokes and give us a hard time in between that. Isak are talking tremendously now. If you thought he was good before, he is better now. He says everything (?) that comes into mind... we all love it. Tobias has become calmer in a way, he is not as often angry or sullen as he could be before, to our joy of course. The summer ending and the startup at day care with lots of new children is coming up and we will have to wait and see how that affects them still.

Tobias is eagerly waiting for the guest of his own birthday party for all 17 kids in his day care department... poor us parents - but it was a total success!

The pirate chest (below) was waiting for those who could figure out the map...

Camping breakfast

Promise to put some more summer pictures soon.

All our love and have a good holiday.

Oh my oh my - Isak getting older

You look at something everyday, you think it´s the same thing, and then! suddenly it´s different. Maybe you can´t say this about a child but actually - this is how I feel. One day I looked at Isak and he was SO different. Here are some photos from that day. My son is getting older!

Isak taking a step...

Come round to see him! He likes company.

When is a cold wanted?

Hello there

OK, I know, it was only two days since my last update, but I´m sick and at home! When is a cold ever wanted? If someone knows the answer to that, or has an example - they are more than welcome to post that here. Have you heard? "Feed a cold, starve a fever".

So I believe I´m better now. I´m getting hungry today, but I´ve lost my voice. Fingers are rusty at the piano. Brought out some old music I knew years ago. Lovely. Feels like silver bells tinkering down your spine... Thank god there´s music when you feel rotten!

Monday starts off the advanced undergraduate course Genome Analysis at Stockholm University. It has been promised tough. The department is known to offer "keep-your-nose-in-the-book-courses"... Therefore I´ve started off looking at the cd from the book. Hm, then I started repeating the cd from the basic course... *smile*.

I think they are about to awaken now. The grey ones hidden in the top drawer, which I believe once was an actual part of my head. At the end of the day I will pull this off I believe, but I will struggle with my ambition. I´ll be wanting results that might be hard to get now. As you know, I live by this: "Per aspera ad astra", and will try´n keep my head up high.

My love to all of you.

Innan vi kommer till dagis...

(Here comes a swedish note... since I actually forgot to write this in english, but then again... love it or leave it. )

Tobias polis...

Att komma till dagis kräver sitt tålamod. Tur att det ligger nära! Tobias gillar att klä ut sig och "ska bara" klä ut sig till, superhjälte, prins, kock, brandman, sjörövare eller polis innan vi kan gå. Jaa, det märks att han går på en avdelning där 12 av 17 är killar och 10 av dem är mer än fem år? Ni skulle ha sett den årliga maskeraden... Spindelmannen, stålmannen, batman, pirater och skelett. De fem tjejerna var prinsessor! Jaja, Tobias är iallafall fortfarande stolt över att han var Pippi Långstrump.

Tobias trivs som en fisk i vattnet på Skogsbrynet nu. Lite trögt var det i början, men nu har han Ture. Ture och Tobias är som ler och långhalm, men vissa dagar är de INTE kompisar!

Det är dock inte bara Ture som gäller vilket jag erfor härom veckan när Tobias bokstavligen krävde att Frans och Hampus skulle komma hem till oss efter dagis. Därför kom femåriga Frans hem till oss! Tobias var superlycklig. *ler*

Isak ligger precis i startgroparna för att vara "själv" på dagis. Inskolningen är i full gång, och blev tyvärr utdragen med jullov och sjukdom. Han pratar dock gärna om "Lina" (Melina), Emmu (Emmy) och Aaaton (Anton), samt sin fröken Eba (Eva).

Här sitter han i kojan på sin avdelning, som heter Blomsterängen.

Welcome to us

Welcome to us

I will mainly write in english, since the ones who can read swedish are already quite close and able to visit us.

Christmas shristmas tristess shringles jingles xmas christmas which is that word now? Well we´ve had holidays I believe. We have survived, and actually had some quite nice moments in between all the "have to do´s".

Since I could probably write for hours, I will show you some pictures instead. I´m creating this account now, which means I will be best at updating in the beginning, so please feel free to remind me of this *smile*.

Most welcome and please be back at any time.

Your Emma
with family

Tobias and Isak
