I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time.
There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).
His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go.
The first 6 months were quite difficult with A having engorgement 6 or 8 times! I took her to hospital several times. Also J went on tour not long after and A and Eddie came and stayed with us which was wonderful. I miss those days.
Now he's in kindergarten or as we say here in Sweden "föris". He's a little boy now walking to "föris" with his backpack. I love him so much and I'm happy we live fairly close. To drive to their house takes only about 20 minutes.
And from my work it only takes 10 minutes.
So as often as I can I fetch him from "föris" and have the afternoon with him until his parents comes home. Next week J is going on a European tour with H.E.A.T and won't be back until Christmas and I hope Eddie and A will come and stay with us a weekend or two during that time.
This is my no 1 priority now. But besides that I of course have my family at home which is H and E. I also have my nonprofit work with the Rheumatic assocation where I'm chairwoman for three municipalities.
And of course all other relatives my sister H and her family, Hasse's other children, their children and their grandchildren. Yes we do have 5 great grandchildren now (or rather Hasse has)
So we are beginning to be a real clan ;-) The closest family now consist of 31 people!
This summer Hasse and I found a new favorite.
It's a petit hotel just 1 hour 15 min by car from us. It's called Sund Nergarden and this summer has been extremely rare in Sweden with sunshine from May to August with almost no rain, except of course for Midsumer when it always rain :-)
We have been to Nergarden 4 times this summer and we love it!!
OK this is it for now for the first time and if I forget to write just shout at me and I will write :-)
I have of course a lot more to tell you but can't do it all in one time.

welcome back!
SvaraRaderaI'm glad you followed up in our conversation and started your new blog. It's so nice to see the pictures (you all look very well) and hear you're doing well. Eddie is adorable, I'm surprised he's already in some form of pre kinder, at 19 months! I remember Tristan was in a day care because both Sandy and Marty worked.
SvaraRaderaIs Emil living with you at home now? I know you are very busy, just write when you can, but it is nice to keep in touch this way. Love you!
