New Years Eve

Selfportraits

of Samuel and me. We were shooting some pictures of us this morning, but now it is less and less light every day, hard to take good pictures.



Then we walked to the post office and the grocery shop to buy some fruit for my lazy lunch.

And some hours later when we picked Greta from the kindergarten it was magical outside. Everything was white and fluffy.


And now that daddy is away at Christmas party with our colleagues from work, we spent a quiet evening at home, took more selfportraits with the phone camera, and the kids were off to sleep. I will just continue enjoying my evening. Have a good weekend!

Weekend

Mostly at home with small exceptions. By the way, yesterday Greta and I had a girls only trip to the cinema while our boys were at home. Samuel tried bottlefeeding with my breastmilk, and it went smoothly. Yay! Now I think I will need a hairdresser appointment next weekend and will not be worried for them. As for today, it was quiet, warm, still not looking like winter. We are planning our next months, many interesting things are on our agenda, and we are looking forward. We already have something to look forward for in december, in january, and in april, at least. We will see if there will be something more.
As strange as it seems, we already started preparing for Christmas. Greta found the cookie tins I bought for Christmas and some new Christmas tree baubles. I found the advent calender that Greta is going to get this time, packed some of the presents for her and Greta has a present for Samuel. We packed it, too.
Samuel is discovering how exciting it is to hold a rattle, continues being a sweet boy in all possible ways and loves Greta. He tested out the big bathtub together with me today, and snow sleeps after a long day.






Hope you had a good one, too!

Saturday family pictures

Buy a pair of pants - plant a flower

Some time ago I bought a couple of wool pants for Samuel, and just today read the label. Turns our you can plant it and get a wildflower out of it. Well, we will see. :-)

Autumn

We hed to get away from home again, since our floor does not get dry while we are here. We spent the last five days at the cabin near the sea, the weathr was great, not a single drop of rain. Temperature-wise it was so different, there were days when we onle went out with a t-shirt, and others with the winter coats.
Samuel is now officially 1 month old. Congratulations!

I really enjoy watching them two together. :-)



This is one of the warm days - probably the last one this year.

Samuel loves to be wrapped in a sling. And allows us to go for some long walks. We both enjoy it.

Little smiling boy :-)



Greta playing with her new flexible dolls and lots of clothing for them.

Winter weather :-)



The birds are flying south?

When we came back home it was 35 C, so I really really hope they can put the new floor soon.

The weekend

We spent another weekend (actually, 4 days) at the cabin near the sea. No boat trip this time, but the weather were good most of the time, so we were outside as much as we could. Kids get along pretty well, and I enjoy being together with the family.
