WOW, long time no see...

OK, so I've been crap at updating... busy much?! three kids, no nanny... phew!
Just want to raise my Mamma & Bertil to the sky, for helping me out every Tuesday and Thursday while the kids go to hockey! I couldn't do it without you! :) also my Sister Jeanette, for doing all that you do, and still have time to help out. Mwwwaaahhh!


My Beautiful Mom Gunilla


We are getting VERY excited here at the house, as Daddy is coming home for a longer period of time.Yahoo! home tomorrow and for the rest of this year. It will be so nice to have another set of hands here
at the house. But have to say, the kids have been awesome, (after some immense yelling!)
Looking forward to share the parenting, and enjoy some nights of Glogg with friends leading up to Christmas time.(Swedish Mold wine) 

Kids are doing great in school and are really settling in with friends and their activities quite well.
Went to a school meeting yesterday with jack, and he is doing GREAT, his reading skills and math skills are beyond his age (THANKS Mrs.Luck ) but as far as concentrating.... I am speechless! we have  HUGE difficulty with getting Jack to sit down and to focus... Please, if anyone have any tips, send them my way.
we've tried wiggly Chairs, stress balls, etc,etc.... just to get him to sit down to do his homework takes me 30-45 minutes every day, and when he finally sits, he does his homework without hesitation and with perfection in minutes. siigggh!
Molly is doing great too, considering she is a whole year younger than the rest of the class, she is doing great, a little more playful than the other kids, but doing great in both starting to read and write. her social skills are so broad, and she is friends with EVERYONE! (wonder who she gets that from??!)
Calvin is Loving daycare, and speaks so much now, mostly Swedish, but when dad gets home he switches straight over to English. But for most parts he says it in both languages, probably to make sure we understand. :) this morning while jack was eating his breakfast he leaned in for jacks food, and said "maste dela"! ("you must share") 

Ok, so with all the kids away this morning, I gotta dash and do as much as possible while having the time!
Laundry, groceries, shower, vaccum..... ahhh, never ending story!

Love you all!

Hej Jacke. Har en kompis här som har samma problem som du har med Jack.
Hon har varit på kurs!!
Sluta med mat med tillsatser( preservatives)!!!!
Hon har också börjat att ge honom Zink , riktig kvalitet Zink tablett och han har blivit mycket bättre! Värt att prova. Ett speciellt blodprov kan kolla zinkbalansen.
Hoppas att du njuter av ditt " sabbats" år, lyckost du får fira svensk jul! Kram Tove

Thanks Jannicke, Brad Kitchen!
The fact that you decide to live in Sweden one year. To be around these wonderful children. Is not the same to talk to you on the phone or on skype.Att be with you means so much, forgets diseases, it gives so much positive energy to be with you.We do not want to think about the day you want to go home! ! Understand that it is stressful to be alone with three small children when Brad is not home It is a pleasure to help. the one who waits for something good does not wait too long, you are an amazing family!! Make a lot of fun and are constantly on the go,
Love you Grandma and Batiilll <3
