Mix

Since its been a while we can do a quick update of what we've been up to :) Klara loves helping me with the baking - or doing the cleaning up at least ;)



Reading books with daddy is still a favourite

Playdough is another new favourite :)

The winter up here is long and cold but as long as Klara has a shovel in her hand she's happy.

Exploring mums wardrobe

Klara and her buddy at bedtime

When the sun comes out so does the people! We had some kiwis over for some outdoorsplay and a picknic this weekend.

Harry, Klara and Ella having hotdogs in the snow.

Klara and morfar is starting a rockband.

Getting groceries has always been fun, ever better now when Klara gets a trolley of her own!

Playdough mustach gets thumbs up!

Visit from the Martinskas

A few weekends ago we got a lovely visit all the way from Enköping! It was so nice to see the Martinskas family again and show them Skellefteå. Klara and Arnas getting on like a house on fire :)

On the second day they were here we took the out to Medle for a drive on the snowscooter.



The girls in the back! All in all we had a great weekend catching up - Leos, lots of chats, nice food and wine! Please come again the Martinskas family

New Zealand 2012

Better late then never they say! Here is finally a summary of our wonderful trip back to nz for those who want to :)
Klara and Matt getting ready for take of on the 8th of Dec

Leaving a cold Skellefteå with a 36 hour trip ahead of us.



Had a few hours to kill on the plane... very thankful they were showing the Lionking :) watched it over and over...



We also were lucky enough to get extra seats so Klara Susan got get some good sleeps :) This kept her smiling and happy the whole trip! It could not have gone any better!



Finally we arrived and Klara was straight up in aunti Anna's lap

What a morning to wake up to that first day :)

Klara was loving it, not missing the snow at all!

We ate lots of kiwifruit :)

Visited the beach of course

Klara jumping in the waves with dadda and aunti Anna ♥

Matt's cousin got married when we were there, here we are waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive



Wedding time ♥

The trip was full of special moments but this one was extra special -  Klara Susan feeding and chasing the birds! She was truly in heaven :)

We visited nana and grandad's graves

Klara and old nana Shirley - got on like a house on fire :)

The mount - do I need to say more?

A bucket and a showel was the best buy this trip, at least if you ask Klara :)

We ate fish'n chips on a few occasions, maybe too many... ;) Here with nana Ellen and cousin Paul

Cant go home without a walk around the Mount



round we go..

and back to the beach side :)

All the girls in the spa

We stayed one night in Matata in Donna's caravan,

 we took long walks on the beach..

... and had lots of quality time ♥

There was many family dinners

Sadly our time was way to short to do everything we wanted to do and see everyone we wanted to see. We were busy fitting everything in and had to take a timeout on the beach every now and again.

You can never build to many sandcastles :)

Soaking up the sun

Klara made many new friends, here with one of her favourite Arnie

we visited Waihi and matt's grandad and uncles

 

Walked around the Waihi mine

Dreamy landscape

Sadly our trip came to a end and getting home was exhausting.



When arriving in Sweden we stayed one night in Stockholm before flying north. Klara crashed out after beeing such a good girl the whole flight ♥
