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
