Farfar, until we meet again

We are now on our way back to Ormond after a week in Miami. A week full of memories and sorrow, saying farewell to farfar, until we meet again. But also a week full of love and good memories of him. The funeral was yesterday, Saturday and a lot of people showed up. You could tell that he was very loved by many. After the service we all met at the house.

Alex made a wonderful speech that made us both laugh and cry

The brothers

A slide show of pictures of farfar played on the TV and Rafael stole my camera and filmed a small part of it. The first picture is of Buddy and Alex. 

Despite the situation and the reason for us coming to Miami this time we also had some normal times with schoolwork and boat rides.

On Friday they showed a documentary in the movie theaters that alex was in. Unfortunately, he had a scheduled show at the same time and could not go to see it but I did.

There were a few friends from Ormond who came to the funeral. We had some time at a park with some of them in the morning. Merrie Christmas park has the absolute best trees for climbing and we did not even go to the playground :-)

Gabriel was playing with my camera

This morning before everyone drove back home. It was so nice that all the siblings could stay in the same house!!

Notice how David is eating in most of the pictures. 

Farfar, it was hard to say farewell yesterday but I am grateful for all the friends and family who came and that we could all be there together. ❤️ Until we meet again! 

Lego battle

We spend a lot of time with the people we do school with, not only for school related things. A little more than a week ago we had a Lego boost battle with the same friends the boys have battled before. Just as fun as before :-)

The moms had fun, too, even though we did not battle :-)


Getting pictures for the yearbook for blue oak. First a picture from Marlee’s and Noah’s ASL (American sign language) class and then the class pictures. 

Right now we are on spring break and the boys made a fort that they slept in. Rafael got the tunnel spot 😂

More Lego creations. 

Back to school and field trips

Back in Ormond and co-ops again. It was time for us to take care of the class pet Pascal again :-)

A short visit to the beach is good for the soul. 












David at the playground at the Blue oak coop.


Lunch outside


Fettisdagen! Time to eat a semla! We baked and we ate :-)

Schoolwork outside!! The weather has been beautiful!!




This is the way to eat snacks! The bib is not for catching the food it’s for holding the food. 


Another trip to the Reptile Discovery center. With our blue oak coop this time. 








They milk the venomous snakes here to sell for companies to make anti venom to use for snake bites. This is a water moccasin / cotton mouth. The only snake in Florida that is actually aggressive. 

First time I am holding a snake!! Apparently I’m not so scared of them anymore.
