Sorry for not writting too much lately but I guess it all has to do with two things. Number 1 I've been feeling so good lately that I've tried to be as active as possible. I've been working out and swimming. Also I've tried to keep Daniel one day a week at home. So I plan a long nice day with him, I've taken him to the Zoo, or to a different part of town to a new park etc.. I've been so excited about this weather, that I always think that if its a nice day I will try to keep Daniel with me at home. And this is what brings me to Number 2……The weather has been GREAT… SUMMER IS HERE!!! IN SWEDEN IN EARLY MAY!!! Hard to believe for an early May summer…. but yes, it's been beautiful everyday. So I've had no excuse to pick Daniel up late from daycare or not taking him to different places.
I've made a couple of really good friends around where we live, and we usually meet after daycare so that the kids can play. Here is Madeleine and her two daughters, Lizabella and Geraldine. She is from Panama, and is one of our very good friends. We have taken them to different parks so that they don't get too bored. Anyway, I must say that having friends is a blessing. And the best part is that even the husbands are getting along very good as well. They are scandinavian and they are married to latin american girls, so needless to say there is a lot in common among them. Even though us girls are personally very different. I guess that's what makes it interesting. We are getting to be a big family. I predict a wonderful summer, full of fun activities.
Last year we spent summer here and it seemed like we were left alone in Stockholm. All Swedes leave Stockholm during the summer, they all go to their summer houses or away somewhere. We normally take our vacations during the winter so summer we are left alone here. but now that we met two other families in the same spot as we are, well its great to know that we won't be the only ones.
Like I said already we are doing lots of stuff with the kids. Here is Camilla and Daniel on the bus, we are on our way to a fun park. They are obviously having fun even before we get there. Camilla is a year older than Daniel but they can still get along very well, she's almost like his big sister.
