Orla and Stina have been in Sweden since 1 March. Lots of birthdays and spending time with family and friends. Orla is just about crawling, still some fine tuning to do and tooth number 2 has appeared. She is very chatty and enjoying meeting everyone and playing with the older kids, from a distance I guess! They love cuddling her and would like to carry her!
Weighed her last week (Thursday) and she was 9220grams, can't remember what that is in the other language right now and 70,5cm, less than I thought.
Sadly my uncle Gunnar died on Monday. He has not been entirely well for some time so I guess it was his time to go. We were lucky to see him on Thursday one last time and we said goodbye with Erene, Karin, mum, dad and Birgit on Tuesday.
Big news is that we have booked our flights to Australia!!!
Leaving London on 8 September, have about 2 weeks in South Africa and we get to Perth on Monday 21 September. Feels quite unreal! Have a few passports, container, flat things etc to organise and more before then.
I will start working again in April. Not for Businesslink.gov.uk as they could not accommodate my work from home request (so I had to resign!). Have something else lined up where I can work 3 days a week from home. Will be great! Just have to figure out childcare now...thankfully my mum will come back with us and stay for a bit during April to help out initially so I think it will all work out.
Sean is working away and is coping without us. We've had some great sessions on Skype with Orla stroking the screen and laughing when she sees/hears him! She has also skyped with farmor and farfar.
Right, it's Orla's bedtime soon so better get going. Sorry that we haven't been in touch for ages...will try to get better at blogging and emailing...and posting photos! Have got one or two on our twitter page at: http://twitpic.com/photos/moosecat76
Take care!
Love & miss you all!
Kram for now

9 months ago today!
Orla has now been with us for 9 whole months! Feels a lot longer although she's only been with us for a short time really. (the blogger date says March 6...but it is March 7 here in Sweden today!).
She is singing away in her bed at mormor and morfar's at the moment!
We have been in Sweden since last Sunday, my last lot of time off before I start working in April and we have a lot of birthdays this month including Faster Birgit (83), Nora (6), Sofia (37) and many more! Going to Pelle and Sofia's today for her birthday party and to see their new house, will be exciting!
Orla is about to have a sleep in yet another office so will continue another time...to tell you more about her, my work situation, Sean's work etc. Have put a couple of pics on Twitpic for now as I/we still haven't managed to upload stuff since xmas, the christening etc!!!
Have a look here: http://twitpic.com/photos/moosecat76
Still planning our departure to Australia in early September, via a couple of weeks in South Africa! Will tell you more about that as well!
Take care and love for now
