Fotomodellen Layla/Layla the supermodel

Har posar Layla i sin blus som mormor skickade. Den ar fortfarande lite stor.
Here she is posing in the pretty top that granma' sent from Sweden. It is still a little bit big.

I mandags nar vi skulle ivag och fika hos min norska kompis var det lite kyligt sa vi passade pa att prova en av Layla's koftor som hon har. "Kylan" varade inte sa lange men liten stund kunde hon ha den pa sig innan hon borjade svettas.
On Monday it was a little bit chilly so we quickly tried out one of Layla's cardigans. The chill didn't last very long but she wore it for at least half an hour or so.

Har ar mossan som matchar till. Fast det var lite for varmt for att ha pa sig den.
Here she is with her matching hat, but it was a bit too hot to wear it this day.

Svettig men glad anda. Kolla in mina risgryn.
Sweaty but still happy. Check out my teeth by the way.

P.S. Hoppsan. Min mamma vet inte ens hur man knapper en kofta pa ratt satt.
Ops, my mum doesn't seem to be able to button up my cardigan very well.

Det har var en annan dag nar vi provade Kallika mossan som Anette skickade for ett tag sedan.
Here she is on another day when we tried out a Swedish hat my sister has sent.

Rock on!

Har ar bilder fran i lordags nar vara kompisar Sean och Rebecca kom over pa lunch. Sedan lyckades Greg lura dem att prova att spela Guitar hero. De tyckte det var superkul och spelade hur lange som helst. Ha det! Kram, Agneta

Here are some photos from Saturday when our friends Sean and Rebecca came over for lunch. Greg got them hooked on Guitar hero and then there was no turning back. Take care, Agneta X.

Nar ditt barn haller pa att fa tander finns det en grej manga koper har en s.k. rusk. Det ar some en hard jarnberikad kaka i form av en pinne som babisen kan halla i sjalv. De kanske saljer dessa i Sverige, vad vet jag? Kakan ser nastan ut som en sak man koper till sin hund men barnen gillar dem i alla fall. Efter att man biter pa den blir den mjuk. Sa har ser det i alla fall ut nar Layla ater pa sin hundpinne. Kramar, Agneta

Here are some pictures of Layla chewing on a teething rusk. Cheers, Agneta X

Kram Agneta

Chubby boy!

Met up with my friends Melissa, Fiona and Zidia yesterday. It was great to see the girls again and also fun to see how much Mattayo, Zidia's "little" boy had grown. He is just adorable.

Have a good week. Love, Angie X

Jaymi 1 ar

I lordags var jag och Layla pa Jaymis fodelsedagsfest. Jaymi ar min svenska kompis Mias lilla pojke. Det var i alla fall supertrevligt och det var roligt att traffa Mias mamma och tva mostrar som var i Australien pa besok. De hade gjort smaskiga svenska smorgas tartor och en god tarta och cheesecake. Mums, man behovde bara titta pa den dar ostkakan for att ga upp i vikt men det var det vart.

Idag spenderade jag och Layla mestadels av dagen pa Chermside med min kompis Liz. Det ar alltid kul att traffa henne. Jag och Liz pluggade ju tillsammans i England och hon liksom jag hamnade till slut i Brisbane. Kramar, Agneta.

Jaymi 1 ar/year

Jaymi 1 years old

Went to Jaymi's 1st birthday party on Saturday. It was a really lovely party and it was nice to meet my Swedish friend Mia's mum and aunties that were visiting. Also ate specially made Swedish sandwich cake which was yummy. Also ate lots of other goodies and probably put on about 10 kg. Good timing for Easter.

Spent today with my friend Liz shopping at Chermside.

Take care. Love, Angie X

Klar for simskola

Idag var det babysimning pa schemat som vanligt. Numera kan Layla ha sin fina simtroja och byxor som hon fick i julklapp av Gabriella med familj. Nar hon fick kladerna vid jul sag de sa stora ut och tank att nu passar de. Idag simmade Layla under vattnet hur mycket som helst. Vid alla moment doppar alla barnen numera huvudet under vattnet. Det ser sa kul ut nar man raknar till tre och de haller andan och kniper ihop ogonen. Layla ar lite av en stjarna ocksa for hon sparkar med benen ocksa. Man blir sa stolt.

Ha det bra. Kramar, Agneta.

Ready for swimming class.

Here is Layla in the swimming costume that Gabriella bought her for Christmas. When she got it I thougth that it looked really big and here we are and they fit.

Today in the class all the kids dipped their head under the water for every activity. They all look so cute when we count to three and they take a breath and squeezes their eyes closed. Layla is doing really well as she does the kicking movement as well when being pushed under. Ahhh, she is so clever.

Take care, Angie X

Annu en vecka har gatt forbi...

Usch vad tiden gar fort. I lordags var vi till Chermside som ar ett stort shopping center i narheten. Greg var pa bio for vi hade en gratisbiljett. Han kande sig lite knapp nar han gick pa bio sjalv men det ar smallar man far ta. Jag och Layla fonstershoppade. Pa vagen hem sa stannade vi till hos Vanessa, Gregs barndomskompis foraldrar. Vanessa var upp over helgen sa vi passade pa att saga hej for att fa se hur stor lilla Ruby hade blivit. Hon ar sa sot och go'.

Igar hade vi Gregs en annan barndomskompis over pa frukost. Han och hans fru ar bada poliser och de har tre sma flickor Sophie, Ella och Cloe. De hade blivit sa stora tjejerna och det bevisar bara att det hade gatt alldeles for lang tid sedan vi sags sist. Gregs foraldrar kom ocksa over och det vi smaskade alla pannkakor, fruksallad, scones etc etc. Det var i alla fall valdigt trevligt.

Ha en bra vecka. Kramar, Agneta

Yet another week has flown by...

Here are some photos from the weekend. We were lucky to catch up with Vanessa and Ruby that were up from Melbourne this weekend. Ruby had grown so much and she is just adorable.

Yesterday we had some friends over for breakfast. It was Greg's childhood friend Mark, his wife Cath and their three girls that came over as well as Greg's parents. We all munched pancakes, fruitsalad, yoghurt, toast, scones etc, etc and it was a really nice morning.

Have a great week.

Love, Angie X

Layla i en blojlada Layla in the box

Tittut! Peek-a-boo

Det ar roligt att sitta i en lada This is fun

Gubben i ladan?

Hade anvant en gammal blojlada for att forvara nagra saker. Tomde ladan idag och satt Layla dari och dar satt hon sedab och lekte i sakert en kvart. Hon tyckte det var sa himla kul. Det ar sa sant att de billigaste leksakerna ar roligast. Eller sa ar hon lika galen som en kockosnot som Greg burkar saga att hon ar.

Kram, Agneta

Jack-in-the box?

Had used an old nappy box to store a few things that I emptied this morning. Then as a joke I put Layla in there. However, she thought it was so much fun and played in there for about 15 mintues. She is so funny, or crazy like a coconut like Greg often says she is.

Love, Agneta
