oh gosh, we are so bad at updating this blog.

ebba turned 1 on october 15th. we had a little birthday party on the 20th and she even began walking on her actual birthday!! i remember thinking how cool it was that ebba's little friend mica started walking on her birthday and now ebba. so great.

we are definitely enjoying this little one. greger and i were just talking today about how much fun we're having with ebba. she is "talking" 99% of the time, pointing at everything, saying mamma, pappa, titta ("look" in swedish), and that's about it.

here are a few random pictures from the last month.

Henning and Ezra: HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!!











We love you!!!!

SWEDEN!!!

we had a wonderful trip!! we are home and finally readjusting to normal life! i can't really recap the trip on this blog, so here are a few highlights!

Ebba on the plane:












Daddy shaved his head while we were there and Ebba (ughmm...picked up a few new tricks...like waving, shaking her head back and forth to "no" and picking her nose)











Spending some time in Kalmar with Greger's brother Henrik and his wife Tina:











We took nice walks in the forest and around the town where henrik, tina, annica and emil live, monstras (don't know how to do the crazy vowels on this computeR).
















Henning, Henrik and Tina's 1 yr old, is ADORABLE and was born within a half hour of Ezra. It was so nice to finally meet him! This is the best picture i have of Ebba and Henning together and i need more (henrik and tina...send me your pictures)











Felix (4) and Titus (2)...sons of Emil (greger's brother) and his wife Annica.












the 4 brothers...greger, emil, henrik and ola....











Farfar, Farmor and all the kids and grandchildren...












Albert (annica and emil's) was born end of July. He had some health concerns, but is now completely fine and home with his family. i fell in love with him and miss him:












don't these two pictures look like they belong in an IKEA catalogue? we visited 2 families that greger has known for years...Mattias, Camilla (hugo and hilma), Martin, Johanna (Alina, Agnus, Ellen, Alvin):













a friend from north park came to visit us in jonkoping, Andreas Olofsson:












and we visited the church we got married in. it brought back nice memories :)












we did so many other things, like celebrate Tina's 30th birthday, visit oland, went horseback riding, ate LOTS of kebob pizza at evergreen and lots more, but I'm just crap at taking pictures.

it was another fantastic trip and we can't wait to go back!!
