Two friends from Kindergarden came by and wanted to know if Vince wanted to play soccer. He did. And so did his friend Tea who was here hanging with Vince. I am in awe of how wonderful kids can be. T...
I signed up for Kraftprovet in Trollhättan on July 20. That is a 11.6k run. I signed up for Lidingöloppet (the 15k distance) which is on Saturday 29 September. That should be a lot of fun. I am runni...

We took a drive to Tjörn today and found a perfect little beach. Although, the parking lot was almost full when we arrived there was no one to be seen on the beach. Everyone else seemed to have hiked...
Was spent the same way as Friday night – by the lake again. I am really liking this living really close to the beach.
The temps went from crazy cold to crazy hot. Vince went swimming in the lake for the first time today. The temp in the water was 15-16 c degrees I was told…
Needless to say, Vince dressed himself in jacket snd winterhat this morning…
With the genes of his dad, it was only a question about time as to when Vince would start driving motor cycles on his own. Neighbor K has a mini four-wheeler, and this below is Vince very first attem...
With a smashing +18c, the (other) Swedes in Sweden apparently declared today summer. All over people were walking around in their best summer clothes. I was freezing just looking at them. We still fo...
Yeah right, every year, the same story. Where did the time go? Well this last year has been busy to say the least. Vince turned 6 on May 12th. Busy/modern/out of line parents as we are, we did not fi...
2.01.33 A fun race with quite a hilly track. The time is so so, but considering my cold and cough that keptme from training the last week I am fine with it. The sun came out just as we were starting ...
Ready for tomorrow! I start at 14.37. As for the weather it is supposed to be windy, rainy and a max of 11c. At least low risk for dehydration. I am running the race for charity, hence the shirt. O &...
I am finally feeling A LOT better as in I almost feel fine. So excited to meet this person tomorrow! And on Saturday my job is to not get beaten too bad by her time. She kicks butt at running (and a ...
Mr B started Swedish class last week. Tonight is apparently homework time.
Saturday is Göteborgsvarvet , the world’s largest half marathon. There is a total of 79,000 runners in total. I am excited and I am ready. Then this morning I woke up with a cold:( So instead o...
My mom came to visit us and we took the big Surte tour. That took about 5 minutes. Actually we stopped by the lake and the kids ran around and tried to jump in. Some teenagers did jump in the water a...
In order not to deprive our kids of the apparent new trend, we packed a picnic and set of with the GPS set in the car. Off we went to an Arla (a dairy company who supplies a lot of milk and dairy pro...
Vince went through my dresser and picked out his own outfit. Done and signing watch TV.
Last night was parents teachers conference in Vincent’s future school. The principal had gathered all parents of the new kids and along with the teacher he presented the philosophy and strategy...
First it was the Prince Daniel look alike picture, now it is Göran Hägglunds turn: Prince Vince Mr Hägglund
I saw this a while back and wanted to post it on here: Whether Swedish is the world’s richest language or not, it can lay claim to at least ten very common words that are sorely lacking from En...
8 am, +1c, 10k lake run.
We were doing so good on time. Then we stepped outside right into a live pavement performance by a load of heavy machinery. A dream for the kids, a nightmare for me tryong to get to day care and work...
…eat as a Swede. Breakfast: oatmeal w mango and raspberries. (Ok the real Swedish version would be lingonberries but I prefer fruit instead of jam and lingonberries not in jam is really not ver...
Ready for a 15k run up the mountain and through the woods. Pepper spray for bad guys or mooses or wolves. Are there wolves in the Göta Älv Valley?
</a Big kid weekend! On Sarurday Vince went to play with a friend on his own. One of the neighbors came knocking and Vince went home with him all on his own! Today he went to play on Småland (IKEA...
We are pretty much all moved in. A few re-arrangements and we should be done. All that remains to be unpacked are two boxes, and a lot of things to hang. The apartment is nice and considering the fac...
We have internet! And phone! And we got signed in as Swedsh citizens (75% of the family at least). Tomorrow a new update will come and hopefully some pics too!
We are here in Sweden. The flight took a few years of my life off. The first flight was simply horrible. For me, for the kids, and most certainly for everyone around us. We were then rushed to the ga...
