New beginnings

Hej vänner och familj.
Nu dammas äntligen bloggen av och jag ska försöka hålla er uppdaterade om vårat nya liv här på Nya Zeeland. Detta första inlägg blir bildlöst då vi fortfarande bor i resväskorna våra och tanken på att hitta nödvändiga sladdar känns överväldigande... Men ha tålamod så dyker dom upp förr eller senare :)
Nya Zeeland då - nu är vi här! Månader av planerade och pusslande och så är man tillslut på plats. Känslan är surrealistisk och omvälvande och mycket har nog med jetlagen att göra. Gått omkring som zombisar i två dagar nu så ser framemot lite upprätning på dygnet snart!
Resan gick super så det känns skönt. Korta stopp på flygplatserna och en nöjd Klara Susan! Glad barn = glada föräldrar haha
Men även hon är jetlagad så imorse var hela familjen uppe kl 3... Detta gjorde förstås att vi var igång tidigt och hunnit med en hel del idag. Bankbesök, nya mobilnummer, shopping och familjehäng! Var även förbi huset som vi ska hyra och lämnade lite grejor. Ett litet ställe men som kommer passa oss perfekt nu från början! Berättade för Klara att hon skulle få ett eget rum snart igen och hon ville såklart att det skulle vara rosa... :)
Det är fortfarande lite fix kvar i badrummet innan inflyttning men siktar på nästa vecka!
Nej nu kallar sängen på oss, saknar er där hemma!

Girl-day

Always seems to be a bit behind in my blogging... oh well better late than never aye?! :)
So here it goes - a few weekends ago we had an all girl day, just me, my sisters and mum. Early morning I got picked up by mum and we headed to the indoor pools. Here we spent a few hours swimming and relaxing in the saunas.

All that swimming made us hungry so for lunch we visited the local food festival that took place that weekend. Yum yum so much to choose from.

Myself I had a Pulled Pork Burger - yum!

With bellies full of food we spent a few hours shopping. Late afternoon  we needed a break and here is Linda and mum enjoying a coffe at Waynes.

Me and Sara



Looking at the pictures from this day it seems like all we did was to eat... hehe this is dinner anyway which we had at mums place.

After all that eating we needed a walk, so we could fit the desert...

The rest of the evening was spent pampering ourselfs, playing games and eating lollies in true Bergman style!

Fällfors - family adventure

Two weekends ago we jumped in the cars and headed northwest to Dad's hometown Fällfors. Firstly we visited nana and granddad's graves and then we went seeightseeing :) There are some beautiful rapids thats runs through the little town with good salmonfishing so we went there to have a look.

Klara keeping track off mormor and morfar so they dont go running ahead.

Threre is a so-called "salmon-staircase" build here. That means its a place where the salmon turn around and wonder back upstream again.

Mum and dad keeping a look out for some fish

And Klara too :)

Lunchtime came around so we bought pizzas and headed out to Maransvältan for a feed.



Maranäsvältan is a large sandpit that keeps getting bigger and bigger due to a stream in the bottom that slowely takes the sand downstream. Here Sara and Klara looking out over the big hole.

After lunch we drove out into the forest where the men went fishing and the ladies picked some berries. It was nice until the mosquitoes came...

Got enough for a bluesberry pie atleast :)

On the way home we stopped at this beautiful little lake for a picknik

Best buddies - Klara and morfar

Drängsmark water-sawmill

Last weekend the whole family went on an adventure to a small village outside Skellefteå. There they have an old sawmill that is now run as a museum and a cafe.

The sawmill was first powered by waterpressure.

There was also some paddleboats that the visitors could rent :) Offcourse we had to give it a go!

All the girls

Aunty Sara, Klara and me

Update Summer 2013

Hi its been a while since we updated the blog so here is a few photos from this summer. Even though I've been working pretty much all of it we still managed to get lots of family time together. And lots of icereams!

We have been for a few swims. Some in cleaner wateer than others...

There has been lots of early-morning-cuddles. Probably too many for my liking... ;)

We went the circus and Klara had a ball!

Helped granddad with the firewood up in the cottage.

Went on a cool train ride with the cuzzies on midsummers!

Spent a relaxed midsummers-evening with nice food and nice friends!

Been on many walks in the warm evening sun.

Occasionally we got lucky and got a sleep in ♥

Had to cool off on hot summer days.

Got dressed up and attended a wedding ♥

Ate more icecreams on the beach.

Had lots of visiters from Enköping ♥

We made new friends, both big and small

Threw axes and ate nice food at Svansele vildmarkscamp.



Found our future profession - want  to be like daddy :)

Found the jumping castle a bit scary at first but finally we gave it a go!

We have showed Skellefteå off to all our visitors.

And when one family left another one came... also from Enköping :)

So we made more friends! And also got the coolest scooter from grandad - what a hit!

Spend lots of time infront of the mirror! Outfit has to be approved by Klara Susan before heading out through the door!

Some mornings Klaras choice of clothes was a bit different than others. More often than not the choice is a dress and a cap...

When the weather allowed we went straight to the beach after work.

We celebrated our anniversary out on the water ♥

We even took a trip down to Umeå to visit old rugbyfriends and to crash their family-party :)
That was that for now, hopefully it wont be too long until you hear from us again ♥
