Leaving Australia

This photo of Jakob together with his grandma and poppa was taken in Gawler the day we were leaving Australia.

Leaving people you like is always hard and saying goodbye to everyone at the airport was very sad. Oscar and Jakob had a great time though, running around chasing each other, throwing sultanas on the floor, or just enjoying each others company looking at the planes. Before we went in to the international terminal Jakob got a BIG hug from Oscar.

The long journey to Sweden went really really well and Jakob was amazing. On the first flight to Singapore he didn't sleep at all but he was happy pretty much the whole time and had a ball running up and down the aisles and flirting with people. At the airport in Singapore he kept going strong until he fell and hit his head and cried himself to sleep on Adam's shoulder. He slept on the floor until it was time to board and then slept more or less the whole flight to London, with only a couple of wake ups to eat.

Jakob och Oscar

Jakob och Oscar kom verkligen varandra nära sista tiden innan vi flyttade från Australien.

Sverigebesök

Strax innan vi skulle lämna Australien hade vi besök av min kära gamla vän Carina och hennes kille Andreas. De stannade nästan en veckan och vi hann besöka de vanliga turistställena men fick även tid att slappa och ta det lugnt. Att skiljas åt var tack och lov inte så svårt den här gången eftersom vi visste att vi snart skulle bo i samma stad igen!

Still no internet...

We still don't have any internet at home but it looks like we should be connected before the end of next week. As soon as we are I will download lots of photos from our last weeks in Australia and of course from our new life in Sweden.

This week has been quite busy. I have been very busy at work and our house is a big mess at the moment. We are putting up new wallpaper and painting walls in 3 bedrooms and the kithcen and hallway. It is going to look great when it is finished (I hope...) but right now there is just dust and crap everywhere. Or that's not quite true, our bedroom got finished last night so this morning we cleaned it and moved our bed back in there.

Jakob is doing really really well. He loves his new friends Alice, Elvin and of course cousin Moa. He also has a new favourite indoor playground. It is similar to Wiggly Worms but about 20 times bigger and great fun even for adults. Adam was there with Jakob on Friday from 10 in the morning until 2.30 in the afternoon and Jakob only stopped once to have something to eat. He loves it!!

Hope all of you in back in Australia (and everyone else too of course) are well and we miss you all. Look forward to hearing from you and I promise to show you all some photos soon.

Anna, Adam and Jakob
