Today has been a beautiful day!
After days and days of rain (and I’m talking about Noah-esque proportions), the weather today was dry and the sun even came out to visit for several hours.
It was the kind of day to be outside . . . to cut the grass, put away patio furniture, clean up the gardens, move the dog run to a better location, work on the roof on the terrace, etc.
Sofia spent most of the weekend at the grandparents’ house because one of her cousins (who is the same age as her) was there all weekend. Said cousin’s older sister (who is the same age as Mattias), spent the weekend with us. Stefan’s sister and her husband went to Stockholm this weekend to run in a marathon, so their kids were staying with different family members. It worked out well for us, because we did it in exchange for letting some of our kids go to their house last weekend when Stefan and I went away . . .
Last weekend, Stefan and I went to Luleå in northern Sweden (we had gone there for a weekend last September also). It’s a nice time of the year for a little getaway, especially since Stefan’s work is soon going to be really busy. We enjoyed some time sans children and got to do some stress-free shopping

The puppies continue to grow like weeds.
Bruno (28 weeks old):
Bella (24 weeks):
Pepsi (5 years) – she wanted a picture, too!:
For school pictures here, kids can get a “kompis photo” – a photo with their friend . . . so here is Bruno and Bella’s Kompis Photo:
It turned out pretty good. Especially when you consider the one we took 6 weeks ago:
I think they weren’t getting along that day . . . .
Since then, they have started obedience classes. They’ve been 3 times so far and have 2 more sessions. Bruno is the star of the class – he can do everything the instructor asks us to do with them. Bella is at the bottom of her class. I think she has ADHD . . . she can’t concentrate at all. She keeps looking at the other dogs to see what they’re doing
.
That’s all for now!

6 friends had something to say . . .:
Your ADHD dog cracked me up. ;>
Glad you had a little sunshine.
I still think my niece needs her own puppy!
Can't believe how your kids are growing up!! I caught up on a few of your posts, I'll have to come back to read some more!
