Plötsligt händer det! Suddenly it happens!

I ran over 6 km without any pain in my hip! Wohooooo!

Happy birthday Andréa!

She didn't want anything for her birthday. If we really pushed her she said she wanted a doll and a stroller, exactly the same things she wanted a year ago when she turned three years old. My little adult, my four year old baby that on the question "how many children do you want when you grow up" answers "many": we love you endlessly.

Sparkle for little sister...

Disco with grandmother - who's dancing fastest?

A love story from Dubai.

It was the last evening in Dubai. A January night that turned out to be very special indeed. We just finished supper and were sipping on some wine. The children were running around playing and laughing, the winds were warm and I felt relaxed. This was vacation! Suddenly H asked if we could go for a walk. Or he didn't really ask me, he kind of dragged me up from the table saying "let's go for a walk, "A" (our friend) will watch the girls". A bit surprised since we never took a evening walk any other evening I got up and followed him. We walked along the ocean and as we passed under a temple H all of a sudden got down on his knees and pulled something out from his pocket. I stood there in a state of chock and all that came out from my stupid mouth was "no!"! Of course this was a reaction over that this situation was totally unreal to me but H freezed and looked at me, hesitating, asking "no?" My eyes filled with tears of joy as I was struggling to say something right and finally I squeezed out "I mean yes, of course I mean yes!" And while I started to cry H placed the most beautiful ring on my finger. It was all surreal and I was thinking to myself "is this really happening?". And yes, this really happened that very special evening in January 2015, the last evening on our vacation. Up until that moment I tried to persuade myself that it doesn't really matter if we're married or not but secretly I was still hoping that one day we would... And it looks like my wish is coming true because guess who's getting married this summer?!

All you need is love!

Trying to remember...

Trying to remember Monday mornings breakfast, the first breakfast ever that the girls made completely on their own while their parents were sleeping in... I'm trying really hard to think about this instead of my shitty day that ended with a flat tire on my way to daycare when I already was late because my last examination took longer than expected. I would just make it in time so I thought when I was struggling against the wind when a sudden bump made me realize my back tire were flat. The third time this season and the season just started. I ran the last kilometers with my cycle and reached the daycare 10 minutes after closing hours. Completely out of breath, hungry, tired and grumpy. This evenings planned work-out at the gym was cancelled. And now I'm sitting here trying to focus on the positive things. Like breakfast Monday morning, two very proud girls and a breakfast that never tasted better.

It's moments like this that makes my life better and stupid setbacks easier to handle. Goodnight.

Happy Easter!

From two very cute and small Easter witches we wish you all a happy Easter. May it contain just the right amount of goodies, eggs topped with lots of love. I'm looking forward to a long weekend and a very welcome visit from Värmland.
