Våren har kommit!

Not much new is going on here at the moment. Greg is still plugging away at work. He's recently completed his personal webpage.  Here's the link: http://www.astro.lu.se/~greg/. Wyn is deep into the pretending stage, and loves making "hot pie" and anything else you can think of to order up. I'm still sick, but have traded nausea for a cold, so that's pretty cool. My Swedish class is still demanding, with a test today, a research paper due Friday, and the national test looming ahead in May. Things have been so busy the past few weekends that we haven't had much family time. Yesterday we were able to take advantage of the glorious weather and have a picnic in Skrylle with Caroline, Lotta, Kira, and James. It was marvelous and SO nice to just relax and spend some time with one another. Enjoy the photos below!

Kirsten, Jon, Kira, and Jena sent us a lovely care package the other week and these are some of the awesome things that were inside. Greg and Wyn have been wearing their hats every day, and I've worn mine several times, too (I sweat more than they do). Needless to say, we love them. Actually, Wyn has had several tantrums involving needing to take the hat off. Definitely the sign of a good gift :)

Here is a view of the magical forest surrounding our picnic spot. As you can see, the girls loved it. We can hardly wait to bring Tommi and the gang here!

Lotta, Wyn, me, Caroline, Kira, Greg, and James (not pictured) all enjoying a little söndagsmysigt (nice, relaxing Sunday).

These wild boars are all over Skrylle (as are the real ones...).

This is another view of our little picnic area. Along the back is the 10km loop so Greg and I pass by this often. It's amazing how secluded it is and it is even easier to get to than the main area. Here you can see the teepee we built.

We found a rock pit in the middle of the skogen (forest). Cool beans!
