Perhaps I am way to bias but these two are just to beautiful. I found this photo by a coincidence its taken on our yearly vacation, our paradise Fårö. Dad was kinda and took us all and i mean all as in we are many to the nearby restaurant that serves the most delicious crepes ever.
So my Favorite holiday and i didn’t get to spend it in usa for the first time in over ten years
but as i just arrived back home i had brought some goodies with me and we had the spookiest house on the street thought me and my kids didn’t think it was much at all.
But when a mom whom was taking a cutie group of really young kids around stopped and thanked me for making it so nice for the kids i actually was happy for the little we actually had manged to do.
The girls how ever had friends over and in the back of the yard the had a little spooky trail set up it sounded like a lot of fun. They are at the age now when they don’t want mom into everything they do so i was the one whom opend teh door and handed out candy for the few visitors we had… I think in all we had four groups passing through, wont say i miss carrying home all that candy i used to, but yeah i do miss seeing the same kids year after year growing up and still coming dressed up for some candy.
I borrowd this from my sister i am so happy she toke some photos cause i was all to messy from making candy apples hehe.
Scrappiz lottar ut en bok som heter boken om vårt hus, oj jag tror jag skulle behöva den då kanske renoveringarna skulle vara lite skojigare haha. Det står ju väldigt still här hemma just nu. här är tävlingen
My life has changed so dramtically the past year that I am not sure i realy followed along my self.
The divorce was fast and tremedously sceary, i was so alone in a country where I did not know the law very well. Even if I been living in us for a good bit over nine years i never had a reason to study the family laws.
Perhaps it was more sceary for me just cause i know swedish laws a bit and therefore relied i didnt know enough…
The move back home omg it happend so fast so fast i had the moving company on stand by waiting for my laywer to say it was okey.
To move back home feelt as the only reasonable thing to do right then, to be close to family so at least my girls would have a huge family of garnd moms anad dads, cousins and aunts.
I was out off work, and work didnt seem to come as easily right then my house my poor old house in sweden was empty and cost me money i couldnt afford nor could i rent it out as the main bathroom needed the floor retiled.
so yes life sorta just looked like it was telling me it was time to head back at least for a while. in two days i have been back in Sweden for a full year and I am just as clusless as I was before of where i truly belong.
I miss the sound of cicadas I miss the warm wind on the last summer days, i miss my starbucks coffe, and i mis fostering kitten. There has been no sound of little paws in my room my legs has no marks from little claws and my hands are completly free of bitemarks . My house is filled with cats anyway as i have my own four of them at the moment plus my lojal dog Vanja whom actually is showing some signs of age now all off a sudden.
I am getting way to tired lol to even rember why i did open my computer and what i was going to write about. there is a fresh fall wind blowing through my open window my oldest dughter is sleeping next to me, she will only bee here for a few more days then she is heading back to u.s. for school. I miss her and i hate to have my children spread out and parted from me and eachother. But she was deep into her university studies so it wouldnt have been good for her to just give up and move along with us i guess. Besides she is at that age when she actually are deciding for her self and she is a very smart and driven girl.
I can ponder this question every day and i wont find a answer, I guess I never will belong to just one place one land.
Today we had an eventfull day indeed..
We started off with visiting the market. these colorfull little locks cought mine adn my sisters attention and we just could npt resist.
After the market we all wanted something to eat so we headed over to a cofeeshop/bakery. This creation was what i had with a huge cup of cofee ofcause.
As some of us where rather sunburnt from a long nice day at the beach yesterday, we decided to spend this day doing just about anything but not going to the beach. so we went to a place close to my heart Helgumannen.
The kids played at the stone beach while i was trying to shoot as many photos as possible.
Not more then a five minutes walk from dads house this happend to us………
I been waiting for taking this photo since feb, the photo of the board at the schools pool with records for the school and my DDs name up on it. She broke the record at the seasons last competion, so I had to wait and i was so happy over that when we got back on a visit she had a competion at her own school and I could finaly take this photo.
The school logo are this cute lion family and WIdenere Pride is what now days decorate the sports tshirts and yes I am a proud mom,, my wounderfull DD i often call her just that my pride.
There is not word for all the Pride i feel to have a DD like her,
Its not that she is a execlletnt swimmer or have thre majors or is getting published, (works at school and so on could make thsi list long) she is just truely a very wounderfull person and I think that is what I am most proud over.
That her schools colors are the same as the Swedish flag dont hurt at all hehe…
we had some great days back in USA and a big huge enormous thak you to all DDs room mates whom put up with having me and the girls there for such a long time….
DD
Your my pride and joy and i miss you soooooooo much
We all went up early this morning, well elin earliest as she was voulenteering she had to get up at 0500. we where standing in line in the wind and rain for one and a half hour before i gave up we didnt bring shooes for this weather and i had not feelt my feet for the past half hour i was constantly thinking what am i doing i am not even allowed to vote. this may very well be something i regrett my entire life but i just could not do it and i am not entirely happy that i have my two youngest out there defenitly not dressed fo the terrible weather i have a cold as it is and i am sure we all are gonna have one by the end off this day. my girls are so brave so intressted and so devoted i love that and i whised i could have sat a good example but i just couldnt do it. with all he is saying i do hope he wins for all the moms like me whom are single, i mean lets face it why did i move back home, well one huge part was i didnt feel safe, i didnt feel as if my kids would allways get the basic care no matter what my income was, and that is not a nice feeling i can tell you that.
I am so worried abou the girls right now since i stoped shivering i have no idea how cold they are and how they are doing in the huge crowed i just hope it will be a memorie worth it.
non of us may ever be allowed to vote how do i know or we just might one day but yet we do feel thsi is importend we lived here for such a long time and have some sort of roots here that we just do care a whole lot. elin will never be able to go all teh way politically as she was born in sweden yet she is devoted she did internship whit a senator she reads american goverment as one of her three majors, what can i say more then i am proud over her hard work and effort thought she may not have all the roads open for her i think it shows of a great and genuine heart.
i my self hope to be able to see the speach on tv not as exciting but at least not as cold…………
