Bronchitis

Hej all! We had been having a fairly uneventful week until yesterday. Wyn has been coughing all night each night (hella natten varje natten) for the past few weeks and we decided to call the doctor since we are now all pretty exhausted (MYCKET trött). Turns out, Wyn has bronchitis! We had a traumatic trip to läkaren (the doctor)...Wyn was freaking out so much she hyperventilated and it was our first experience with her blood being taken. I have now joined the ranks of every parent out there. Officially. Anyway, we have some meds for her and she is to stay home from dagis until Monday. We've been having lovely snuggles today and are really looking forward to Mom and Dad arriving tomorrow. At least now both Wyn and I will be home all day to greet them! Hooray!

In other news, I've been venturing out a bit more with my Swedish. I've been speaking more in our little town and I'm working on finding a language partner. The newest update is that I should be able to sit for the big national language test at the end of December (if I work really hard) and that should be a significant help with finding a job. I've also applied to a new school that opens in August. It's a Swedish school, but it emphasizes bilingualism and bullying prevention. It looks interesting, so we'll see how that goes. I heard about it from my friend Caroline. Oh! That reminds me we had Caroline, her wife Lotta, and their daughter Kira over for lunch on Sunday. It was the first time we've hung out as families and we really had a blast. Greg and I both agree they are the best set of friends we've met out here yet. We just ate, chatted, and watched the girls play. They even brought over some Swedish children's books for Wyn (and Greg and I...). Cool beans!

Chillin' under the table.

Daddy, what are you listening to?

Hmm, did we need carrots?

Uh, are you going to help me get this on the counter or what?
