Beautiful Weather

The weather here is Southern Sweden has been absolutely beautiful. We've had day after day of sunshine and warm temperatures. Today is the first day in a least two weeks that it looks like to could rain. With all the nice weather and the increasingly longer days we've been making the most out of it and spending many hours outside. I've taken the girls on several outings to the city park and we've done some more exploring around Skåne, the region of Sweden in which we live.










Sonja is 14 months today. She seems like a little girl now, but it still very much my baby. She is also quite the little comedian, always trying to get a laugh out of her sister. She loves to dance and mimic whatever Linnea might be up to. Linnea will be 4 in just 12 days and it's hard to believe. She is a lot older acting and it using more advanced words in English as well as learning quite a bit of Swedish. She has 3 little friends that we have over for play dates.






Matthew and the girls have started a garden and Matthew has hung up a swing that has been very popular with Linnea.






We've also visited the beach that is just a 20 minute bike ride from our house. Surprisingly to us, the water was warm!




Currently, we are attending 2 churches. Most often we go to Swedish church and that is where we've made several friendships with other families. Once or twice a month we also go to the International Church of Lund, which is in English. This church is fairly informal and short. It is nice to have the change of pace and to meet other foreigners.

Some really exciting news is that we are getting some visitors! My mom is coming to visit for 2 weeks at the end of this month and I couldn't be more excited. And then Wayne and Ellyn are coming to visit in July for 3 weeks and will be doing some exploring with us of northern Norway and Sweden. We can't wait for that either. It is going to be a very exciting summer! Yay!
