Point of no return

I tend to rather take a step back than take the leap over the edge. Exploring new territories can be left for those who take interest in that. I can happily read about it later. But once in a while things happen and I close my eyes an jump.

Sounds dramatic? Well how often have YOU accepted to play competitive tennis, bearing in mind I have never played a proper match before? Huh! I am joining the div 4 team and we will be starting with team clinic on Monday 25th and our first game on Sept 3.

Kom alla mina sma kycklingar

Nu borjar de svenska familjer som semestrat i Sverige trilla in en efter en. Filip ar sa lycklig over att fa tillbaka sina lekkamrater och jag har antligen nagra att snacka med vid poolen igen.

Den 26 augusti borjar Filip i Kindergarten. Vi fick ett brev fran hans blivande froken Ms Boyd att hon halsade honom valkommen till klassrum 204. Den 24 august skall vi ga till skolan pa oppet hus och far da traffa de blivande klasskamraterna. Filip ar enormt taggad over skolstarten.

Sixten borjar pa sin preschool den 3 september och han langtar. Var gang vi kor forbi hans blivande skola ropar han: ''Titta dar ar MIN skola''. Skall bli intressant att se hur han hantarar omstallningen fran lallande hemmaliv med mamsen till ordning och reda i engelsksprakig skola.

Vem ar Svarte Petter i Familjen Golf?

Why not or more actually WHY?

We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel today. It was a nice sunny morning and it felt like a proper summers day. Walked through the store to the front desk and I noticed something sparkly and glittery. Christmas decorations and a proper (plastic) fully decorated tree. In August. My oh my.

But the ornaments were very pretty and didn't cost much so I bought...No actually I didn't buy anything. I can't buy a pair of canvas shoes and a Christmas ornament on the same day.

Preordered reincarnation

On our way home from the park we see a large flock of geese on a field.
Filip: What do birds eat?
Me: Well, worms, bugs, bread that we throw them in the pond, seeds and things like that.

Few minutes later we drive by several bundles of straw

Filip: Do birds eat straw?
Me: No, I don't think it tastes very good and it is a bit coarse for a bird.
Filip: Do birds eat things that they don't like?
Me: No they don't.
Filip: So unfair, why do I have to taste all different things that I don't like.

I should have seen it coming...

The first day

Today is the first day of the Wyndham Championship golf Tournament. Henrik signed up for volunteering months ago and now after days of training (carrying a sign) it is time for the real thing.
He got dressed in all his new gear just like a kid for the first day in school. Hope the other volunteers are nice to him though.

Sol vind och vatten

I mandags foljde vi med Henrik upp till kontoret i Virginia. Vi hade en trevlig dag hos Jennie och barnen med lek, bad och prat. Sixten var lite tveksam till att ga ur bilen eftersom det blaste ganska friskt uppe i bergen. Han har inte upplevt Goteborgsvadret ordentligt den lille stackaren.

Jag hade hoppats att jag och Jennie skulle fa en kvall pa stan men med en man i tjottaheiti och en som arbetade till 23.45 sa blev det inget av det.

Idag hade vi planerat att traffa Mia med sina smakillar Filip, Gustav och Svante. Se ar alldeles nya har i stan och vi ar sa glada for fler lekkamrater till stora som sma. Tyvarr sa regnade det MEN vi tog fram var ursvenska mentalitet 'inget daligt vader bara bla bla bla'. Packade pannkakor med tillbehor, regnjackor och dricka i bilen sedan korde vi till City Lake park i Jamestown. Barnen hade det urkul och brydde sig inte namnvart om att de var blota in pa skinnet.
