June 22nd 2012 - Florida

It's hard to find the time to update the blog. We are travelling around in Florida at the moment and the kids are keeping us BUSY... Our first stop was in Jacksonville. This is were Ross lived for two years before he moved to Sweden. I used to come and visit him and we had so much fun and the place holds many good memories for us. We meet up with Ross old roommates. Shannon and Amy and their 5 kids. Roshan and Heidi and their two boys. It was great seeing them and their wonderful families and we are looking forward to meeting up with them again on our way back. Right now we are in Florida Keys. A wonderful paradise! Blue green water and palm trees as far as you can see. The first two nights we stayed at Islamorada and right now we are at Marathon Key. We are staying here until Monday and then we are off to Key Largo for 4 nights. It's been overcast and some days rainy since we got here. Every once in a while the sun peeks through. It's still around 30 degrees so we can be on the beach and play in pool. We are trying to do as many activitys as possible troughout the day. Not all the time that you can move around so fast with 3 little ones... =) We learn as we go, what is good ways and what is bad ways to do things. Right now Ross is on a fishing boat. Hopefully catching dinner for tomorrow! Alicia is doing really well. Swimming every day, what can be better than that?! We are working hard on her sitting skills and the other day she broke her record and sat on her own for 35 secunds! She is really getting stronger and better at keeping her back straight and her head up. Damien is charming people as usal. Saying hi to every person in the grocery store... As cute as he is he also hit the teribble twos... More stubborn than ever - it's his way or no way.... One secund he is the sweetest little boy ever and the next he is driving us crazy =) He really started to talk more and it seems like he is figuring out new things every day which is really cool. Ross and I try to take him on special trips everyday were he is the center of attension. He loves his little adventures and his alone time with mommy and daddy. His favourit frase to say right now is "tack mamma" and " tack daddy", polite little guy! Little Liam has really grown. He crawls all over the place and he started to pull him self up to standing against furnitures. He waves and got some more teeth. Our little baby is not a baby anymore... He is a great little guy and laughs almost all the time. Unfortunately we are not able to put up any pictures at the moment. Hopefully when we get back to Washington.

    Vi kan komma och hjälpa er med barnen!!! Ja...tänk om! Vi längtar ju så mycket efter er och vi längtar också efter sommaren. Den vill inte riktigt komma till lilla Sverige.
    Men det låter som ni alla har det bra, så fortsätt att njuta av semestern.
    Krama och pussa barnen från oss!
