Trip to Stockholm

After having moved into our new house, Oliver had an operation mid May to remove his tonsills.
We had a couple of weeks of recovery for that and then I flew to Stockholm with him for our annual holiday.
Arrived the week before Midsummers eve and spent the first two weeks mainly with my parents and family. Midsummer weekend was spent at Hummelmora in the arhipelago. Not very warm weather - and freezing cold in the water - but nice and relaxing and Oliver was great.


Then Niclas, Jessica and Fredrik arrived from Sydney and we stayed with his family for a week.
Here we got time to meet up with cousins and go on assorted trips. I also had the opportunity to meet Nicky and the girls, who came over to Stockholm for a few days.
As it worked out with flights etc this time I did not get a chance to come over to London - which is unfortunate and I miss you guys over there. But hopefully I will be able to fly that way next time.
And if anyone wants to come down you are all the more welcome any time.

We then spent one week in the summerhouse again with my family and had a great week - the water temperature got a little higher - and the weather wasnt too bad. We met plenty of great friends and family.
Last week was spent visiting and saying goodbye to mostly family. My Grandmother and Grandfather are 90 and 91 and my other Grandmother is 89 - and I miss them lots.

We flew with Malaysian - direct flight from Stockholm to Kuala Lumpur and then direct to Sydney. Though we had a two-day-one-night stop there. Weather was nice and warm and we got lots of hours just lazying by the pool.

Back home again we have had Winter Chill since we got back - and now only one week left until it is supposedly spring again - cant wait. Today has been extremely cold winds - and rain.
Kids only have four weeks left of this term and then a three week holiday. I am keeping busy with just being a stay-at-home Mum, but hoping to be able to get some more work in soon.
Oliver attends childcare twice a week now - which helps.
He has fully recovered from his operation and the year without solids prior that and he is a very happy and fun 2 1/2-year-old.

I try to spend at least 2-3 mornings on the beach with Oliver, who loves playing in the sand. And it is great to sit on the steps by the beach and drink coffee and listen to the waves. We live in a fantastic place and cant wait until the summer when we can spend some of that time in the water (though easier now without all the stuff needed for swimming...).
