Somehow this summer has passed really fast. Sure summer isn\u2019t really over yet but as I this week started work after the vacation\/parental leave it somehow feels like it. It has been an exciting summer. So many things have happened. Still it also has been a slow summer, not doing even one overnight trip, only staying at home. (Except for the few nights when we were at the hospital for Gabriel\u2019s birth in the beginning).<\/p>\n

Ah, there you have the name of our son too: Gabriel. We had a hard time to decide, so it ended with us drawing sticks. We had two names, equally nice, but both of us had a different one as favourite. But if we get another son some day we have a name for him.<\/p>\n

Most of the summer has been about taking care of our kids and getting food on the table. A few other things have been made though.<\/p>\n

I fixed the lawn-tractor. It wasn\u2019t that hard and now cutting the grass isn\u2019t hard labour but fun labour. I think I\u2019m becoming more of a mechanic as I live here, I kind of like fixings things.<\/p>\n

I built some mosquito-nets for our bedroom and work-room and with the help of dad the guest room too. (My parents wanted to sleep there and it was warm so a mosquito-net was not a luxury). The one for the work-room I like the most, as it is a door.<\/p>\n

We have made it to the beach twice. Once as a family and once with my parents but without Susanna and our son as a day on the beach isn\u2019t the best thing for a new-born. We did go for a swim in our local lake a few times too, it\u2019s just a five minutes\u2019 walk so it really isn\u2019t a big deal.<\/p>\n

Our garden isn\u2019t really giving that much produce, we haven\u2019t really taken care of it as we should. But still; we have potatoes; we will have carrots and some beans. Three of our apple-trees have apples, so we will have apples too, (actually I baked an apple-cake with apples from one of the trees yesterday that we had at work today). Our blackberry-bush is having plenty of berries and they ripen over a long time, it now has given us a few portions with ice-cream and a pie, but there is much more on the bush. The only downside with the blackberries is that they have so many thorns and that makes picking them a bit painful. (We haven\u2019t taken care of it the right way this spring).<\/p>\n

We have spent some time with family and relatives. My parents have visited twice, Susanna\u2019s a few more times, and we visited Susanna\u2019s parents too (Susanna and the kids stayed over there one night even). We had a few friends visiting, been to the zoo in H\u00f6\u00f6r with friends and have visited friends for a few hours, so it has been things going on even if we had to time it with our sons feeding, leaving us less punctual than usual.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m back at work. This first week has been calm, as most people still are on vacation. It is fun though; I\u2019m working on a project where I will simulate railway traffic and I really enjoy that.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s weekend!<\/p>\n
