The Julieverse My universe

So eager to celebrate May 17 she can’t stand still

By the river, feeding the birds on a beautiful cold and windy spring afternoon

Today’s afternoon activity: giant frisbee!

Happy birthday, grandpa! Hope next year will be as eventful as this one:

We drove very far and then took the boat in order to get to Tallinn, Estonia and babysit Stella. You ended up carrying both me and Stella at the same time.

At our favorite coffee shop you always drank coffee, while I got half of your bun – sometimes even more.

You often had me over for dinner, and sometimes I even got to spend the night!

We went to Oslo to eat some of Stella’s birthday cake.

We went to your summer house and I fell off the hammock.

You helped me get into the swing at the playground.

The best part of it all is that you retired, so now we can do all of the above even more often! Hope you have a great birthday in Oslo!!

A friend of mine is getting married this summer, and a couple of weeks ago we surprised her a Saturday morning. I took some pictures – that probably aren’t interesting to anyone but the ones that know the bride!

As a summer vacation rehearsal, we spent the past weekend with some friends that live nearby Oslo. The first thing Frida did when we arrived at their house, was to pull out her iPad and show her little friend how to play angry birds.

The next morning Frida got up earlier than usual to attend a tea party.

We also had time to visit Frida’s little cousin.

They wanted to drive off to the closest playground, but didn’t get very far.

I hope you all had a great weekend too

This evening we were looking at some pictures from last year, and I figured it was about time I posted a couple of pictures from May 17 before these pictures also become last year’s memories. Even though it was a cold and windy day, we managed to have a good time with family and friends. A big thanks to aunt M who let me use her national costume so the whole family could match. I really apreciate that!

Talking about old pictures… A while ago I found a picture of E with long blond hair, mullet style. Anybody interested in me posting that picture?

Frida and I had a good weekend. She spent the night at her grandparents on Friday, which freed up time for me to go to the gym – for the first time in half a year!! At the very cold and wintry May Day we spent a couple of hours (inside!) at our regular coffee shop, with Frida’s grandparents, my cousin, her husband and their two kids. Today we had a play date with three of Frida’s little friends.

Frida sitting in Edvin’s walker wagon. She really had to fight to keep her toys today!

Peeking out from the stairs leading up to the slide at the playground. All the kids loved the slide.

Thanks to Edvin and his mom for having us over! As you can see, the moms also enjoyed the slide

PS! Tomorrow daddy returns from his business travel. I’m not sure if I’m more excited to see him or the iPad that he WON!!!
