Helsinki, coming home and getting a haircut

Helsinki

After leaving St Petersburg we took the cruise to Helsinki. I only stayed the day and took a flight to Stockholm in the evening while Marlee, Alex, farmor and farfar stayed another day and then took a cruise back to Stockholm. The great weather continued and we had a good day! The Finish people who are norally considered quiet and reserved appeared very smiley and friendly after spending two days in St Petersburg :-) We only met friendly people.

I was a little worried to leave Marlee since he had been a mama's boy during the trip. He had been very happy to spend time with farmor and farfar (and of course pappa, too) but only as long as I was around. But my worried was for nothing. He did not even cry when I left and he did not miss me at all. That made everything so much easier for me, too. I knew he was in very good hands and knowing that he was happy made it possible for me to relax at home, when I did not work, and enjoy some time on my own. It was the first time I was home alone without both Alex and Marlee, since Marlee was born! Two nights was enough, though! :-)

Back home again

So they all came home safely after a good time in Helsinki and I got to some work and prepare our house for our guests :-) Back home we spent some time with friends (Sofia, Aman and Mobi as well as Emily) and we also visitied Sigtuna for Mother's day (Swedish's). We cannot forget all the presents farmor and farfar brought from the states for all of us, plus the coming "lillebror" (little brother). The big favourite was Duplo, which has kept Marlee pretty much every minute Marlee has been inside!!!

The day before farmor and farfar had to leave was a busy day. It started with Marlee getting a haircut by farmor. It turned out very good! After his nap Marlee, farmor, farfar and I went to a playground caleed Mulle Meck, where Marlee had great fun! When we left the playground we went straight to mormor and morfar where Alex met up, too, for dinner. We had a good night and Marlee was in heaven with all the attention!! :-)

Farmor and farfar left yesterday morning and now everything is back to normal. Marlee got very sad when they had passed the security check at the airport and he realized that they were not coming back.
