Pride Parade 2022


Proud of my boys. 

 

Fika




Finally, after being home from Sweden for weeks and weeks, we baked a lot of Swedish pastries, put out a lot of Swedish candy, and invited friends over.  We also showed some of the best slides from our trip.  

 

Kaj's Pies


Pizza night at the park. 
We joined our local corner store's anniversary party at the park next door and sold pizza pies for the night.  Sandy and I made them inside, while Anna and the boys and Peter and Jen sold them out in the park.  We made 45 pizza's that night! It was busy and fun and of course the Pizza was fantastic.  Kaj's pies are delicious!

 

Lucky Us


 Found this abandoned building on our way to visit Paul Smith College this weekend.  Perfect sentiment.

Home Again


It’s been almost one week since we have been home.  Quickly we fell into a new routine and it’s startling how fast Sweden has started to blur in our minds.  An epic trip for sure and as always, wherever you go there you are.  We’ve been busy unpacking, doing home chores, getting reorganized, and wrapping our heads around a return to work and school. I want to comb through the thousands of photographs I took and organize them. It would be nice to create a movie and perhaps even a book.  But that’s requires time and in this moment my time has been filled with tasks related to re-entry.  Our plan is to host a Swedish fika and invite our friends; we bought lots of candy to give out and we want to share a bit about our travels.  

The boys have been settling in too.  Reconnecting with friends, playing, and reacclimatizing to this life, our Burlington, Vermont life. Next week on Wednesday they begin school - it’s the first time in 6 years that they are at the same school again. Kuba enters 9th grade and Anders glides into his senior year. Here’s to every hope that this year will be a good one for both boys.
