Sedan vi kom tillbaka...
Since we got back...

Sa var vi tillbaka i gamla rutiner igen med dagis pa tisdagar, simning, hang dar hemma och en massa playdates. Det ar harligt fast man saknar ju er alla darhemma. Layla pratar fortfarande mycket svenska och jag hoppas att det haller i sig. Annars sa har Lewis tander pa overkaken pa gang sa han ar lite snuvig och gnallig. Han tar ett steg har och dar men foredrar fortfarande att krypa for det ar ju mycket snabbare. Ha det gott for har blir ni bortskamda med en massa bilder. Kram

So now we are back to old routines with daycare one day, swimming, play at home and lots of playdates with friends. I love it but of course we miss everyone in Sweden. Layla still talks a fair bit of Swedish and I am still so impressed with how much she picked up while we were there. She has always been able to understand everything anyone says to her in Swedish but her talking and her vocabulary has improved so much.

Lewis takes a step here and there but still prefers crawling as it is much faster. He has some teeth on their way at the top so he is a bit grumpy and has a bit of a cold. Here you go, lots of photos to enjoy. X
