Last week with mo-mo and Thanksgiving

 Mormor and Morfar has already been here for one week and one more week left. We have been so busy time goes way too fast. However, lot of fun activities and we ended their visit with Thanksgiving at Aunt Jackie’s house, with lots of family. A great gathering! 

Last day at cc before Christmas. The kids got to dress up as doctors and put together “their body” that they had colored and cut out during the semester (see pictures).

Can you find Noah?

Can you find Gabriel?

The weather has been far from great but that won’t prevent us from enjoying the beach!

Morfar improved our entrance by creating a nice “wood island”. It took quite a bit of work but it turned out great (I’ll post a picture later). Noah was a great help!!

Thanksgiving at Aunt Jackie’s house!! Beautiful table decorations!!

Time will tell if we will see mormor and morfar in Sweden or Florida next time, but we are grateful to have had two weeks with them!

Mormor and Morfar are here!!!!

I am back! 

Mormor and Morfar came to visit for two weeks! Two very intense and fun weeks, which ended with Thanksgiving  but first, boat ride down in Canaveral National Seashore, soccer games and coop. I apologize for the pictures being a little mixed up .

Raffi has a soccer game. He is in the red shoes. 

They kicked the ball into the pond and needed to get it out…

After the boat ride we walked to turtle mound.

Part 2 of catching up

It seems like this new way works okay so let’s finish this catch up. There are several things I’m not adding as it would be such a long post…

Noah had a fun camp out in de Leon springs with some friends :-)

David loves his yellow boat he ordered from Marlee and Paul’s 3D printing business :-) (https://www.etsy.com/shop/3DBrosStore)

In the nursery at coop

Boat ride in de Leon springs 

Even David got to go!!!

Got some fishing done but did not catch anything g…

Found a weird looking spider on David’s toy truck. We also found a scorpion (!!!) down by the water. I did not even knew they lived here in Florida! 

Creating smoke bombs in science class!

Went to Bulow park after coop with some friends to look for mushrooms. 

We didn’t find any good mushrooms but, as always, a rattle snake! 

Testing out the smoke bombs. Conclusion: they worked! :-)

Last week Gabriel pulled two teeth on the order of the Orthodontist, to improve his bite. This week it was Rafaela turn. He got a bad inflammation in his gum and it took the dentist a while to figure out if the tooth was causing it or not. After some x-rays and drilling he decided the tooth had to go. Both Gabriel and Rafael are doing fine. The dentist came in for an urgent visit for us therefore his non formal outfit, lol. 

Alex gave Marlee a refreshing haircut and even shaved under his hair to make it less “puffy”. He has soooo much hair! I’ll post a picture of his face and haircut asap.
