Vacation update

2008-08-28T09:59:00.006+02:00

Annas Uncle Christer has a cabin out by the lake "Hunn", about 20 minutes from Katrineholm, we went there a couple of times this summer to fish, barbeque and sleep over. The house is out on a cape, almost surrounded by water.
Tuva is happy in the swing :)
We went to Västervik, Lysingsbadet for a week, the weather was great.

We rented a "car" which you have to pedal like a bicycle, it was really tough since only 2 people could pedal out of 4.

Tuvas biggest interest so far is books, we have to read them 5-6 times each every day, but she is getting real good at knowing different things names.

Fun at the dirttrack

2008-08-27T19:34:00.003+02:00

One of our friends started going to the dirttrack this month, but before they decided to buy dirtbikes for the kids they rented atv's to see if the kids were at all interested which they were :) Here Anna and Tuva is trying one of them and Tuva thought it was a lot of fun.

July update

I sold my Kawasaki 250 last weekend and Tuesday I picked up my new Suzuki RMZ 450 :)
We went out to the track on wednesday and it was great fun on a new bike!

Last Weekend my mother and Lasse came to Katrineholm with Ella and Maja and they played miniature golf.

We went to Parken Zoo in Eskilstuna last week with my father and Ann-Catrin, it was Tuvas first visit to an amusement park, she really liked it, although they don't have so many animals anymore.

Tuva, me, Lina and Lucas go on a train ride.

Tuvas first carousel-ride! She screamed when it was over because she wanted to keep on going :)

Lina took good care of Tuva on the ride

On April 1:st we helped Annas friend who needed a couple to "model" for a local newpaper add. I sent the photo to my parents and told them we got married :) I thought it was a good joke on April 1:st. My mom called upset after 2 minutes wondering why she wasn't invited, hehe.

At the same time we took some pictures of Tuva which turned out realy nice.

Mid-March update

2008-03-17T13:40:00.005+01:00

So, it's been a couple of eventful weeks. Last Saturday I went to Eskilstuna and visited my friend Trana (aka Latrine) to play some Guitar Hero III. It was me, Latrine, Chewbacka, Mitch, Ron, Simon and Alex. We played a tournament and I came third which was ok since it was my first time trying it. We had a great time and also managed to play a couple of rounds of Texas Hold em, which was not so fun. I got beat on 2 rivers :) as usual.

On Sunday it was "Bandyns day" in Katrineholm where the parents played the kids in a last game for the year. The kids managed to win 4-3. After that we got BBQ'd hot dogs.

On Monday I was in Stockholm to support some testers, when I started to feel a little funny. So on the Central Station when I was waiting for the train to go home I had to throw up in a garbage can, which was not so nice. After that I occupied the toilet on the train home. So on Wednesday Tuva got sick and threw up, and on Saturday Lina and so on... So Easter will bring some great relief and rest hopefully.

Spring and I'm running a lot

2008-03-03T13:28:00.005+01:00

"I just felt like running" a classic Forrest Gump Quote that feels kind of accurate right now. 3 out of 5 in my office are going to run "Göteborgs-varvet" which is half a marathon. So everyone is running like crazy and I sort of went with the flow although I won't run it, atleast not this year.

So I lost 3 kg the last 2 weeks which is nice... I will be in great shape when the Motocross season starts this sunday. Can't wait!

I listen to Eddie Vedders new album a lot since we saw the movie "into the wild". Great Stuf.

Tuva's getting some more teeth so she had a slight fever last night and cried for a while, it seems like she's getting a cold as well. "pa-pa" and "pa-pa-pa-pa"

Tuva likes animals a lot, ask her how the dog sounds and she says "vov vov". She likes standing in front of the window and watching all the birds in the backyard. Soon she'll be running around out there :)

Some more pictures of Tuva

2008-02-19T10:23:00.004+01:00

3 red lights of Death - XBOX 360

2008-02-12T11:07:00.000+01:00

This weekend my XBOX 360 stopped working, I don't play on it much myself but Lucas plays a lot and we use it to watch DVD movies. I Thought, oh well the warranty just ran out a few weeks ago so I'll have to buy another console (I was hoping for a PS3 :) But luckily I googled the problem and found some smart and some dumb solutions to the problem, the not so smart one was to put towels all around the XBOX to heat it up. (Someone thought the welding would warm up and go back in place?) It would surely kill all other components in the XBOX because of overheating...

Anyway, I was on Microsofts homepage and read that they have extended the warranty to 3 years so tomorrow UPS picks it up from the front door and delivers it back fixed, no cost at all :)

Renovation has started

2007-11-22T08:55:00.000+01:00

We starded renovating our hall this week to try to make it more open with more space, it will probably be done sometime next year...

The closets has been tore down and today the wall is coming down, then hopefully we'll put a window in to make it a little brighter!

Tuva Stands!

2007-11-22T08:40:00.001+01:00

Tuva is practising standing up everyday, so far she does it on the couch so she won't fall and hurt herself. She already thinks she can walk and everything and lets go of whatever support she has and usually falls over rather quickly :)

I am happy when I get to stand up and practice my balance :)

No hands!

Tuva Updates

2007-11-19T10:22:00.000+01:00

On Saturday Tuva sat up for the first time without help! She likes to crawl around and soon nothing is safe in the house.
Tuva can now stand if she has something to hold on to, she seems to be a little explorer.

Tuva likes to be in the center all the time, she likes to be carried around and her new favourite is on top of my shoulders. It was fun until she threw up :)

Tuva Baptised

2007-10-17T13:25:00.000+02:00

Last Saturday we Baptised Tuva in my "home" church were I was baptised some years ago. We used to go to this church every year when school ended so there's lot of memories from there.

Anna getting Tuva ready and dressed (I helped when I didn't hold the camera :) Tuva is anxious to be baptised and there are a lot of new shiny things to look at in the Church.
Matching outfits!

The priest handled Tuva very well, she's usually a little shy around new people.
Tuva got a lot of water on her head, but didn't seem to mind too much, she wanted to play in the water.

The first weekend in October we went to Portugal on a conference, we went to a small town called Ericeira, about 45 minutes from Lisbon. A nice little town along the Atlantic Coast.It's not my beer, I borrowed it for the picture :)

We had a fantastic. 4 course lunch at a seaside restaurant, which had a star in the famous Michelin Guide.

Vacation in Turkey

2007-09-12T14:33:00.000+02:00

Here are some pictures from our vacation in Turkey, we had a really good time. The weather was great, warm and sunny the whole time. Tuva really liked it there, sha has never been so happy. She seems to like it when it's warm so she don't have to wear any clothes.

Tuva taking a bath with Anna in the pool.

Tuva slept with me in the sunbed for a couple of hours everyday (I read a book, she slept)

The sisters got along well! (most of the time)

Well, we had a few drinks everyday :)

We were shopping a lot.

Tuva enjoyed taking a swin in the pool, she hasn't liked the water before so we were surprised when she liked going into the pool!

Random Update

So, I took a short vacation this summer since the project I am on was delayed so we got offered some extra money if we moved some vacation until after the delivery. So now we are going to Greece or someplace else that's warm the first week in September. Tuva is getting bigger every day, now she's 7200g and 64 cm long :)

Vacation updates

We went to see my dad at his "new" womans house in Ärla and we had a good time with a barbeque.
We went to Eskilstuna and Parken Zoo with the kids for a day. Luckily the weather was nice all day and Tuva was in a good mood :)

Tuva's cousin Thea and her family went there with us.

Vacation!

2007-07-18T10:33:00.000+02:00

Finally I have a couple of weeks od Vacation, On monday we went to Kolmården. We forgot to bring the Camera so we don't have any pictures.

But here are some more pictures of Tuva

Tuva laughs a lot now, she always wakes up with a smile, she must have inherited my morning mood :)

My Cousin Tommy took this pictures at my fathers house in Hållsta when we had a Barbeque with our cousins.

Tuva likes to sit up as much as possible now.

Homemade "Golf-Barbeque"!

2007-07-13T09:35:00.000+02:00

This spring I started out with an oilbarrel with the goal of making it a barbeque grill to use at bigger parties. It was a lot of fun making it, but it would be easier and almost cheaper to buy one at Cheapy or some other store.

There are some final details to get done, the "green" will be remade on piece of wood. I need to get a flag to indicate that it's the 19:th hole, I will put some more "Spaldings" on there as well, etc. (Sorry dad for taking your iron-6, but you weren't using it anyway :)

New Car!

2007-07-13T09:33:00.000+02:00

Last week we finally bought a new car after selling the 2 we had. We were without a car for a couple of weeks but my mom loned us hers when she was away on vacation. We bought a used Mazda 6 in Stockholm.

Friendly bird!

2007-07-12T09:01:00.000+02:00

Friendly bird!
We were working in the garden the other day when we noticed a little bird following us. She wanted to get food from the ground that we were digging in, she was almost tame. She collected her mouth full and then flew away, just to come back 5 minutes later...

Weekend in Hållsta

2007-07-05T08:00:00.001+02:00

This weekend we went to my fathers house in Hållsta and met my cousins and uncles etc.

We barbequed and played "kubb'". The rest of the weekend we spent in our garden trying to make it the way we want it by removing some trees and cutting the hedge.

Daughter 2.0

2007-06-28T08:22:00.001+02:00

The first 2,5 months Tuva cried almost constantly every night, then suddenly last week she changed over night. Now she can just lay down for an hour looking at things which means that we now can eat at the samt time etc. Before one of us always had to carry her around to keep her from crying (Yes my back hurt). Now she also smiles a lot and starts making funny sounds and tries to laugh :)

New Job!

2007-06-15T07:57:00.001+02:00

On the first of June I started my new Job at Extenda. Extenda is opening an office in Katrineholm, so now I have 5 minutes to work which will be nice. The office isn't completetly ready yet, the furniture will arrive today but the internet Connection we still have to wait for for another 2-3 weeks. So now we go to the Office in Stockholm 2-3 days per week. I will work as a developer, mostly in C# .NET.
