Looks like I have not written a word since before xmas!!! Gotta get better at this!
Haven't managed to upload any new pics either...it's on our list of things to do so hopefully you will see Orla as she is now very soon! Maybe us too but we are not as cute to look at!
Had a lovely xmas at Pernilla and Thomas' house in Saltis including Orla's christening on xmas day at Skogso Kapell. Also had a few days at mum and dad's and a good new year's eve at Sofia and Andreas' in Gothenburg.
After we got back we all got the winter vomit bug...Orla first then Sean and I followed. Sean got it while in Wales for work so he was sick up there while I was sick and on my own with Orla here...thankfully farmor Lynn came to help the next day which was a relief as I was pretty worn out. Since then we've been fine, a bit snuffly maybe and Orla has her first tooth on the go, otherwise we are good!
Not much to report from January really...Sean has been back to Wales for some more work, in Pembrokeshire where we went on holidays. Nice place to go! He was 37 as well on the 27th of January. Got a painting of fishermen in Pevensy Bay by Nigel Greaves. Sean knows him and his family from when they lived in the bay. Will be a nice reminder of this place when we get to Oz. His gallery is also down the road from us.
This month we are off to St Albans to catch up with Debs and Chris and all the uni lot, maybe even Corinne and her fiance if we can fit it in. I hope to go shopping in Brighton, see Ruth and family and a few Gardiners before Orla and I fly to Sweden on 1 March. We are staying the whole month to spend some time with my lot. Sean will survive but Orla must promise not to start walking or similar when he is not there! Have a lot of family birthdays in March, Pelle and Sofia are moving in to their new house, Sofia W will be at home and I start working in April so wanted to make the most of my time off. Mum (and dad?) will come back here for a bit in April too, including Easter which will be nice.
I am hoping to work 3 days a week from home until the end of July...whether this can be sorted out with work is another question. Have been to see them at London Bridge, now I am waiting to hear what they can offer me!
We've had snow...it's been all over the news! The UK really can't function when it snows...!!!
Work is still going on the outside of our big old house...will be lovely when it's all done. Also getting a leak from upstairs fixed and our freezer has died...will hopefully get back to life next week.
And Orla is a star! More hair, one tooth, around 9 kgs I think, will weigh her on Tuesday. Likes to stand, not really crawling but moving about a lot, just not getting far...loves her bath and swimming, chats away, likes to eat and more! Hope to show her off soon!
Will go to bed now I think...and hope to write more very soon!
Take care, love and miss you all!
