Emma’s 1st birthday
Emma has turned 1 year old and this past year has gone by so fast. We’ve been through a lot of changes moving from Germany to what some times seems like the last outpost here in Yuma.
Our little precious Emma, is almost 14 months today ( I’m a bit late posting this but oh well) , Denis’ sister Shannon flew from coast to coast to celebrate Emma’s first bithday with us. We all had a great time having her here, we miss her soo much…
The pictures you are about to see are of Ella decorating Emma’s cake and then Emma eating her first Swedish style birthay cake with strawberrys and wipped cream, yum yum yum.
One day when we where in the pool playing Emma got so tired that she feel asleep on Aunt Shannon’s sholder, so sweet. The other one is of Ella and Aunt Shannon riding in the back seat and having a great time doing just that.

From the land of lots of sand…
I’m sure you are thinking it is about time they post some new pictures and I totally agree but I/we have been (are still) kind of busy…
We are all doing very well, Ella LOVES the pool, Emma not so much but I’m sure that is just a matter of time.
We still have plenty of moving boxes in the garage but only a few inside, we are slowly making this house into a our home.
Enjoy the pictures!
Ella and Emma playing in the backyard with water…
The girls love corn on the cob…
Visiting relatives in Phoenix, Ella and Denis also went to their first Nascar race, sorry no pictures from there.
Here you see Ella and Jeffery playing together and Ella with Jeffery and Aubery’s turtles
Some more kids pictures and some of the “older kids” too, yes I did take picture of other people too.

Sweden trip 2007
After five weeks of being in Sweden we where ready to go home, especially Ella she was ready to go home the last week all she was talking about was her friends back home, Kindergarten, going shopping at the Commissary, sleeping in her new big girl bed and the rest of her “babies” that she left at home.
We tried to take it fairly easy but we still did and saw a lot of things. We also rented a cabin for two weeks when Denis came, that was a real treat just the four of us and 10 min walk (with kids) from the beach, we couldn’t swim in it but oh well you can always pick seashells and just enjoy the view and the smell of the ocean and the wind in your hair, I do miss the beach A LOT! Oh yeah my family and friends too 
!
Emma was Christened on September 16th at Klinten in Örkelljunga in Sweden the same place that we Christened Ella and yet again we where lucky with the weather.
Here we go the pictures, I know that, that is what you all have been waiting for anyway!
First a couple of pictures from beautiful Ängelholm.
We went and visited Samuel and Felicia oh yeah, Sandra and Mattias where there too… so cute our little ones.
We did meet up with Sandra again at Capella Play in Hyllinge, for those of you who doesn’t know what that is it’s like a big indoor playground with lots of fun things to do for the kids and sometimes a relaxing cup of coffee for mom. This day we meet up with Titti and Algot aswell.
That is all you are getting for today, I’m getting tired and I still have a little one who need just me in the middle of the night…

Nya bilder av Ella och Emma
As promised I’m posting some new pictures of my beautiful daughters.
I took Emma to her pediatrician on Monday for her U4 check-up and she is doing just great, she was weighed and measured and boy has she grown… She is now 69 cm (27.2 inches) tall and weighs 6.7 Kilograms( 14 Lbs 7 oz).
Everyone is doing well and we are enjoying being just us girls spending a lot of time outside in the nice weather and having picnics or just going to the bakery for a pretzel or two.
A few of the pictures where taken today for example the one in the pink dress that Ella wore at our wedding.
Enjoy the pictures and hope to get back with some more soon.

New pictures of Emma and family
Finally some new pictures from us the family of 4 or perhaps I should say 5 or 7 or hmmm… yes we have visitors. Denis mom left to day after a long visit, my parents are partially here my dad come down for a short visit and my mom is still here.
We are all doing well, Ella loves to hug and kiss her sister, Emma doesn’t really mind all the attention as long as she gets her food, she is a good daughter that sleeps well, and except for a nasty diaper rash she is doing very well and has gained in weight and height.
Enjoy the pictures!

Follow Up!
Denis Posted: So, the long awaited follow-up! Mommy and baby are doing well. They are still in the hospital for the moment and are planning on coming home on Tuesday barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Daddy and Ella have been hanging out, going to the playground, and visiting mommy. This morning, Daddy and Ella brought mommy breakfast for Mother’s Day. We packed a bag with a waffle iron, waffle batter, fresh cut strawberries, champagne, orange juice, and coffee. We totally surprised mommy and the hospital staff by making Belgian waffles in her room.
Upon good recommendation from Aunt Shannon, we purchased Ella a new doll which she quickly also named Emma. Ella’s Emma is also at the hospital with mommy and baby Emma. Both babies will come home the same day from the hospital which should help Ella with the transition into our new expanded family.
We also snapped a few shots of a funny occurence; mommy was nursing Emma and so Ella decided to nurse her Emma too…
