Baby shower and new loft bed

In the beginning of June some of my friends at church organized a baby shower for me and did such a wonderful job!!! They had made a Swedish buffet with so much delicious food such as salmon, meatballs with lingonberry jam and brown sauce, Swedish sweets and lots of fruits. So good!!





Gabriel and Rafael got swords and shields as a gift for the end of the school year. A friend of Noah made them. 


In preparations for bay sister (as David calls her) we got a loft bed to put over the queen bed in Gabriel’s and Rafael's room so that David can move in there. Since we didn’t have the patience to wait for Alex to come home and do it Noah, Gabriel and Rafael put it all together with some help from me. They did such a good job!!!







David slept in the queen bed with Rafael the first night :-) Gabriel is very happy to have his own bed on top :-)

Cruise time for Alex and Rafael!

Mormor and Morfar got back okay to Sweden and we had a couple of days at home before Alex and Rafael went on an amazing cruise to the Caribbean. Alex had agreed to speak at a conference on the cruise before I got pregnant and I was supposed to go but was too pregnant according to the cruise line :-( I’m glad Rafael could take my spot. More later…

Movie night..



Beach day with friends…


… and a shark. 


Great fire work show at a friend’s house!

Alex and Rafael had a wonderful cruise. Since Alex doesn’t have a smart phone random people sent me pictures of Alex abs Rafael :-)

Puerto Plata in Dominican Republic.


On the ship :-)


Puerto Plata again.



Snorkeling with Stingrays in Turks and Caicos. They could even touch them. 


In a giant hot air balloon in the Bahamas. 



Back in ormond again and beach day for the rest of us :-)


The last week with mormor and morfar

Another post with the pictures all in a weird order. I’m sorry. It is just so difficult to fix it on the phone. 

Our second week with Mormor and Morfar  was very good. Busy and hot but good. Some good beach days, gocart with Morfar and the homeschool convention in Orlando. 

For Christmas the boys got a go cart ride so we went to do that in Daytona. So much fun!!



Beach time… 





At the Gaylord Palms and homeschool convention. 


David was so tired after a day at the water park that he fell asleep on the floor!!






Back in ormond and Mormor and I got some nice pedicure and manicure. We did it on Mother’s day in Sweden :-)


Memorial Day we celebrated with some of our friends. Great time!





A great big sea turtle who had just laid its eggs!! It is the first time I get to see this! 


Tridominos with mormor and morfar.


Mormor has made all the boys “sheep sweaters”. It has taken a while but she just finished the last one while she was here!!! They are beautiful!!



Last day and last beach visit… I didn’t plan on swimming but it was so hot I had to ask Alex to come down with my swim suit. 





Friends!
