Activities in Sweden!


We have done lots since our arrival in Goteborg. We have picked blueberris, blackberries, chantarelles, looked at cows, climbed some rock, picked flowers, watched some moose, and of course just being a busy bee. Noelle's latest word is "bitte" imagine that her first word would be in german (I guess that's natural since her last name is German). When she wants something, she says "da, daa." She eats lots, and has so much energy. She can stand on her own, without holding on, for a minute. She walks holding on with only one hand. She is our little sweetheart, and gets cuter everyday.

Why isn't this thing moving? Come on mother!
Noelle is taking the farm life serious. She already got her own tractor. Loving it!
Three generations.
Noelle is helping with the gardening again! She loves to explore the grounds and are climbing all over the place.
We really live on the countryside! Here are two calves with mother moose right outside our bedroom window. They are eating our pears. Father moose was standing a bit in the background. Magnificent animals!
We got a bicycle seat for Noelle, so we went on a bike ride! Noelle liked the ride, but not the helmet!
Of course we had time for cuddle time on the couch!
Our new car! Ford Focus Combi Flexifuel - so we are now driving an environment friendly vehicle!
Noelle is helping mormor (maternal grandmother) with the gardening.
The other kids got their own dining area. The two older (or should I say young adults) took care of the younger ones.
Noelle got to sit with the grown-ups (so did Viggo 4 yrs).
We had a family party with cousins and second cousins! Lots of fun and Noelle loved seeing the older kids!
Crawling in the grass.
Lots of chanterelles (kantareller) all growing on Elisa's parents lot!
We also picked chanterelles - which is the gold of the forest! They are scrumptious on a sandwich!
We will live in this house starting September 27th. Elisa's aunt Birgitta is gracious to let us live in her modernized summerhouse! We have lots of room and beds (and a flushing toilet) so come visit!
We picked up Noelle's new bed, which we got from her second cousins. The youngest is now three years old, and is not interested in sleeping in a crib anymore!
Morfar Hans is flying with Noelle!
On our way from Taby (suburb of Stockholm) to Goteborg. We stopped for a little picknick and stretch of legs. Noelle did great this long car ride. This is some old castle in the background, but the name escapes me at the moment...
