Summer all over again!

As I mentioned before the weather was not very good when we had my friends and parents visiting and I hate to say it but it seems like the summer came back after they left. I really hope that they have better luck with the weather next time they come!!!!!! However, we have gotten to enjoy it and spent a few hour on the beach the other day with Emily and her children. The water was cold but we got in for a quick dip of course :-)


Our friends Deborah and Brad had their little baby and Curren got a little brother. We are so happy for them and we have already met the little guy, who is so cute!! Curren has been over here playing with Marlee two times this week and they have had a lot of fun. They even let Noah be part of their games. I think Marlee has been nicer to Noah lately which is nice to see for a mum!!

The last week it seems like we have all had some kind of cold and that is why we have not spent more time on the beach but we had a great week anyways as you will see below! Noah has been teething and I believe that all his 20 teeth will soon be "out".

Christmas preparations

Our vegetable garden is growing and needed to be but in bigger pots

If we are lucky we will get some tomatoes and cucumber even if it is not the season for it :-)

Marlee and Noah are still great eaters and Alex is still the pickiest in the family:-)

Marlee helped out with giving the car a shower

Passed out next to his best friend!

 Another favorite!






 
Not sure why it is so much more fun to play on the table than the floor...

- You can borrow my scooter but I have for spiders first. Spider man is ok! :-)

Playing outdoor hurts sometime but Marlee is a tough boy!

Lots of fun with Curren!!

Love!!!!!


Beach dance!!





Nice hot bubble bath after the beach visit!

The last visitors have left and we are trying to get over the loneliness by focusing on Christmas and 1st Advent!

Johanna and Jenni have been here for a week now and left this morning. It feels very empty here after three weeks with visitors. Three wonderful weeks, intense and fun! Now we need to get back to normal and start thinking about Christmas. Tomorrow is 1st Advent.

We have had a great time with Johanna and Jenni, and below is a summary of the week. Johanna had a very nice camera so there are some very good shots!

Started out with their plane being three hours late... Just increased the excitement of them coming!
