Having really nice days in Sweden. Not doing anything but at the same time I’m doing a lot. Trying to enjoy some Swedish stuff. Lots of “fika” of course:)
On Saturday, my dad and I went to a movie premiere. He knows a guy who made a documentary Möten vid brunnen. This was the third movie of his, this one was about pilots from America that had to land in Sweden back in 1944. Quite interesting.

Once the movie was done around 5:30 pm, my mom picked us up and we drove to meet my new niece for the first time. A tiny little cutie ♥ 

My aunt and my dad, hahha, what a cute pic! Great imagination 🙂

I woke up at 2am on Sunday and could not fall back to sleep. And then at 7:30, we were on the road to go visit my grandma in Smaland, a region about 2-2.5 hours away. We arrived and were welcomed with a yummy second breakfast. So nice to get some time with my grandma. An hour or so later, my aunt, her husband and my cousins daughter (who I had never met before) showed up. By 1pm, my cousin and her oldest (also the first time to meet him). We ate lunch – my grandmas meatballs! – and then fika. We left right after 3, short day but we wanted to be on the road before it got dark. But it was nice to spend some time with them. Back in the house, I skype’d with hubby and Thor. How is it possible to miss someone so much already after only a few days?;)

John and my sister gave me a new coffee mug

Today I woke up at 6am after 8 hours of sleep, yay, finally! At 9 I had a hair appointment, and then we spent some time at the bank…as always. For some reason there is always something to fix at the bank when I come to Sweden. After all the errands in town, we drove back to the house. I have been going through some of my old stuff that I still have here, we had fika, my mom showed me some old black n white photos and then I got my dads spaghetti bolognese. Now we are just watching some comedy show on tv.
I’m hoping that we can go see my sister and the little one tomorrow, but we are trying to respect them and not be in the way. But, I’m also only here for a week and won’t see the girl for awhile so I want to go there and see her as much as possible of course. We’ll see how the rest of this week turns out.
