Our first day in Miami

The children woke up around 5.30 this morning, so we (Alex and I) did too. It was not as bad as it sounds because of the time difference but we had only slept about 6,5h. Noah did not wake up during the night so that was a very nice surprise. After some breakfast I got to go back to sleep and Alex stayed up with Marlee. Noah had gone back to sleep. Later farmor and farfar woke up too and helped out with both Marlee and Noah. So far it seems like both Noah and Marlee have adjusted good to the time difference but my experience is that the first day is normally ok but then it gets worse, before it gets better again. Let's wait and see...

Except trying to adjust to the jetlag we have been out walking, had friends over (Mario and Albert) and been to the near by playground with farmor. It was pretty dark when we got there but Marlee really enjoyed it. We have to go there again soon when it is not dark. On the way to the playground Marlee fell on the asphalt when running in the street and hit his face. He started bleeding from his mouth and hurt his cheek. Now he has a fat lip and a red cheek...

When we went for a walk before lunch Marlee saw some cocoanuts on the ground and said: "Look, big acorns!" :-)

We finished the day with a good dinner and a nice shower. Marlee did not go to bed until nine (three in the morning Swedish time), but then he almost fell asleep before I finished reading his story.
