Has it been 2 weeks already?
We’ve been relatively busy . . . a bit of yardwork, working on the main entrance/sidewalk (that was torn up 2 years ago), dealing with the pool, the puppies, etc.
The weather has not been so great the last couple of weeks, and we’ve had a couple of very rainy days. However, I shouldn’t complain – because it’s only been a couple days; just tough with the puppies and their housebreaking . . .
Speaking of puppies, here they are:
(they’re fighting over a blanket, while lying on their backs!)
Other than that, nothing exciting going on really . . .
These birds showed up yesterday and sat outside our kitchen window while we were eating lunch. 6 – just like us!
This is Midsummer weekend here in Scandinavia (celebration of the summer solstice, as well as St. John the Baptist’s birthday). It is generally a huge deal, with all-night parties celebrating the midnight sun. Despite having lived here almost 6 years, it’s only the second Midsummer we’ve been here for because we’ve travelled to Canada most summers.
We spent yesterday evening at the in-laws’ summer cabin with most of Stefan’s siblings and their families. I was prepared for a mostly sleepless night afterwards because our house is on the road to the beach and usually has A LOT of traffic on Midsummer with all the partygoers coming and going, but we were pleasantly surprised by a relatively quiet night – the bad weather probably kept a lot of them away (lucky for us
).
That’s all for now . . . hopefully I’ll have more interesting stuff next time!
TTFN,
Barb

The puppies are so cute and so big! The picture of the birds is great. Love the coloring in it.
I LOVE your PUPPIES!!! they are sooooo adorable. Your blog is really pretty. I like the background..miss you friend. Where does the time go?
forgot to mention that the bird picture is incredible...looks like it should be a card!
Your puppies are adorable!!! WE are soooo going smaller and less hairy dog next time. . .two big hariy dogs makes for a hairy mess!!!
NO IDEA what floam is for! Wish I knew!
And yes, we are lucky Aidan loves Hockey so much! I know, he doesn't seem to have have much choice. . .but, honestly, the minute he says he isn't having fun, we'll try something else. Like American football! : ) Seriously, though, my rule is that he needs to be in a sport--doesn't matter which one as long as he likes it and has fun--and play an instrument--same deal. Both help with team work and discipline. It worked for me! : ) Just glad he likes Hockey for now. . . : O
Look at how big those puppies are getting!!! So, so cute! I love the picture of the birds. Isn't it neat when something like that happens? Enjoy the midnight sun!
Awww...puppy sweetness!!! You should bring them by for a playdate with Linus...good for socializing them, and stuff (plus, the kids (ok, mom) would love meeting them!)
Your bird photo is sooo stunning. I love your edit!
The bird picture is great. It looks like one you would find on a card or something! And it sure does seem like you just started to get warm there, how can it be mid-summer already!! : )
Valparna är ju jättesöta! Och vilken tur att du hann ta foto på fåglarna! De ville nog berätta något för er...
