Noah's first birthday!

On Saturday we celebrated Noah's first birthday. It was 3 weeks late since his actual birthday is Januray 2nd but we're traveling home from Sweden that day. We had a pancake breakfast party with three different types or pancakes, turkey bacon, fruits and mimosas. It was perfect and everyone had a great time. Can't believe he is 1 already. Happy birthday No-No man!!!!

Rare picture of all four of us!

Hmmm wonder what's in here?

Yup it all taste good

Noah with 2/3 of his God parents; Jess and Joseph. Kind of sounds like a bad doesn't it hum?

Humpty Dumpty???:)

Bella took a nasty fall in school and landed on her face. The result is a fat lip and a scrape under her eye. I'm just relieved she still have all her teeth left:) When I picked her up she had a hard time talking because of the swollen lip and said "mommy is my lip gonna stay like this forever because I'm ugly". I don't have to tell you what that does to a soft mommy heart. She is perfectly fine and recovering great. She even will let me take pictures of her now looking like this. It only hurts when she has to do something she does not want to to e.g eating dinner or going to sleep:)

Olds Friends

When we're in Sweden for Christmas an old friend of Fredrica's mom came to visit. It was a dear visit since the last time Fredrica and Harriet saw each other was right after Fredrica's mom's passing so it's been over 6 years since last then. Harriet, Ansi and Johan had no seen each other for over 10 years so it was a lot of fun.

Ansi and Johan hadn't seen Harriet in 20 years... it was quiet a nice reunion
