Sunny Friday

This morning we took a family walk down to Alicia's daycare and dropped her off.

When we had left Alicia we took the boys to feed the ducks in the park. Damien told me that when he woke up this morning.. He wanted to walk Alicia to daycare and then feed the ducks...

We decided to do a 12 km long hike out in the country side. It was a beautiful hike but we were exhausted when we had completed the walk. We just got the kids to bed and Ross and I crashed on the couch... Tv and chocolate for the rest of this night... :)

Big boy

Damien has the last couple of weeks really entered in to the big boy world.

He is now fully potty trained, he quit his afternoon nap and believe it or not..... He gave his pacifiers to his baby cousin Kevin yesterday. I'm so proud over my big boy. Two nights without a pacifier and he has not cried about it. He said that  baby Kevin needs them and that Damien is a big boy... 

Some pictures of Alicia

Alicia is doing great progress with her physical therapy. Some days are better than others and her mood has a big impact... 😃 She has gotten so much stronger. If she really tries to she can sit all by her self for about a minute. When she is on the floor she rolls around a lot and holds her head up high. I love when she does that!!

This guy is trouble!!!

Damien's sleepover

Damien had his first sleepover with Mormor and Morfar in their motor home this weekend. He was so excited!

Thank you Mormor and Morfar for a great weekend!!!

Friends

Our sweet little boys are finally starting to play more and more together. I can see them getting in to so much trouble together in the future... :)

Damien is growing up...

Damien drew his first "huvudfoting" the other day. That is what we call it in Sweden when kids draw the arms and legs directly on the head. Ross didn't know if there was a word for it in English, is there?!? Our little boy is getting so big!!

The other big thing is that Damien now is fully potty trained! He is doing such a good job and is so proud over himself!! Mommy and daddy are also super proud!!!

Walk in the park

Today we took Damien and Liam for a long walk in the park.

They loved this part. They were throwing sticks and leaves...

 

Damien was so good to Liam. He helped him and even wanted to hold hands with him😃

Feeding the ducks. Even saw the first ducklings for the year.

Liam got tired after a lot of running and playing...

Alicia's weekend

As I wrote in the last blog Alicia spent the weekend with Mormor and Morfar in their motor home. They sent me some beautiful spring pictures that I would love to share with you!

Walk in Västra hamnen

Last night Alicia spent with mormor and morfar. They went to the pool and after that they were gonna spend the night in their motor home.

Ross and I took the boys for an evening walk in Västra hamnen. It was a beautiful evening! Damien wanted sunglasses just like us and the only ones we could find was Alicia's Barbie glasses. Here is a picture of our Barbie/Spider-Man boy!!

May 1st

May 1st is a holiday in Sweden so everybody is off work.

It's been a tradition for a few years now that we meet up with the family and some of my parents friends and their family's in a valley by Veberöd for a picnic.

This year was special because we finally got to meet cousin Kevin. He was soo cute! The boys were very excited about him. They wanted to look at him the entire time. When I held Kevin next to Alicia she got really happy as well. Kicking with her legs and a big smile!!

Look at me swinging!!!

The other day we went on a nice family walk in our neighbourhood. We stopped at the playground and played for a little bit. The boys went on the swing and the slide and did all their crazy activities. I sat down on the big swing with Alicia in my lap and we swung for a little bit. For some reason I just thought that I wanted to try to put her in the baby swing. Alicia has not been able to sit in one of those since she was very little, it's been to hard for her to hold up her body. We put her in and got very surprised... Alicia held up her body, kicked with her legs and were super excited. She swung for a long time, maybe 10 minutes, and kept her body straight the entire time! It was really nice to see that all of Alicia's hard work has paid off. She is really getting so much stronger in her core and she has so much more control over her body.

Great work Alicia, we are so proud over you!!!

Welcome to the world!

On Saturday the kids had a new little cousin. Mattias and Marie had a little baby boy, Kevin. We are so happy that he is finally here!

❤Congratulations Mattias and Marie to your beautiful little baby boy!! ❤
