It has been a week full of activities! Since mormor and morfar brought a lot of candy and baking material, such as fresh yeast, herbs and special flour, baking has been on the agenda. Of course a lot of beach time as well!

| Baking Swedish bread, "Gotlandslimpa" |
 |
| The result, 4 of these |
 |
| The lasagna we had for dinner the other day was very popular... |
... and very messy. We brought Gabriel and the high chair outside to rinse them both off with the hose :-)
 |
| More baking. This time Swedish cinnamon buns |
 |
| Almost ready, just some sugar missing on the top |
 |
| Voila! |
Last Sunday we finally had Marlee's birthday party, only two month late :-) It was great with lots of friends and kids!

Yesterday we went to visit Fort Matanzas in Saint Augustine. Notice that it is not San Marcos, which we have visited before. This one included a short boat ride to the fort and a short guided tour. The fort was tiny but a fun visit.

After lunch I took the chance to finish the curtains for the boys' room that I started with months ago. I managed to do one and then I never finished the other two, until today :-) The rest of the crew was down by the beach while I got some time alone at home sewing.

WOW! Maybe the best set of photos ever!! Great job Tina! I love the videos too. Gabriel looks like his Italian Farfar eating lasagna. I never had a bib like his though so I could save some for later. Marlee certainly has a knack for surfing. Love Noah making mean looks at his corn dog. The curtains look FANTASTIC! See what you can do when you have just a little time? :-)) Love, Farfar
