Before Moving Day

So before we officially moved out for the summer, there were a few exciting events that we'd like to share. One was that Linnea started school. She goes 15 hours a week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 AM until 2 PM and she loves it. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they spend the entire day outside away from the school, either at a playground in the woods or a playground down by the beach. The even have their lunch at the playground, usually it's a hot soup or hot dogs/hamburgers. On these outing days Linnea is especially tired and sometimes falls asleep before we get home! She obviously wasn't in school for the summer. She just started up again last week and usually doesn't want to leave when it's time for her to go home.

The week Linnea started school was also when my mom arrived for a visit. It was so nice to have my mom around and the girls really loved it too. With my mom we did lots of walking around the city of Lund enjoying the beautiful weather. We had a great day visiting Helsingborg as well.

My mom and I also made the long bus ride to Norway for a short visit with our distant relatives there. It was a very short visit, but very nice one. The area that the family lives in is really beautiful and my mom and I just can't get enough of the scenery. Later in the summer, Matt and I go back with the girls so stay tuned for more pictures!




My mom also gave us a night out which meant for the first time in months Matt and I were able to go out to dinner alone while Mom stayed home with the girls.

We also did a little last minute sightseeing in Skåne (the region we live in) before we left. On this day we visited many different burial tombs and standing stones.

Moving out for the summer was a lot of work. We had to decide what to pack to bring with us and well as pack up everything we were leaving behind. Then we had to clean the house and get the yard ready for the owner of the house to move back in for the summer. Needless to say, by the time we moved out we were exhausted! But don't worry we had a 10 week "vacation" ahead of us! Yeah right!
