The birds! They mark the spot!

Haylie was getting antsy this afternoon, so she and I drove to the library in Visby and checked out some books, and then to the park across the street. She played a little on the playground and we fed the waterfowl some bread. The swarming seagulls were exciting in a slightly scary way.

Almedalen in winter. It was slightly above freezing again today, so the snow is more slowly evaporating than melting.



We walked briefly over to the shore to look at the waves. The boat from Nynäshamn was coming in, and Haylie thought it was exciting how all the sea birds and ducks were bobbing on the waves. She had a close call slipping on the ice and almost ending up in the water, and learned (temporarily) why you should listen to your mother once in a while.

Happy 94th Birthday

Stefan's Grandma Kally turned 94 today. We were at her house for lunch and coffee on Sunday. Here she is seen being forced to pose for pictures whether she wanted to or not.

Haylie is outside right now. It is a nice sunny day. We went shopping today and bought her some new clothes which she will probably refuse to wear. One dress is already in the return pile because it didn't feel right. She also refuses to wear short sleeves - only long sleeved t-shirts. And she had a spaz because her new tights that she picked out didn't feel right. She pretty much will only wear lycra blend products that fit like a glove. Nothing baggy, nothing tight. And god forbid anything should be wrinkled. Now she just came in and is having all tags cut off of her underwear because they are bothering her.

She is out slopping around with water and snow. She manages to go through all her mittens and gloves within the time she is outside by getting them wet. When all the gloves are wet, it is time to come in.

We put up window film for privacy in the bathrooms. This is out our main bathroom window.

I was home from work with some stomach flu of the vomiting variety two days this week, so she was home with me. Here she is seen dancing ballet after watching "Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses" for the fifth time.
Tonight we are going to Henrik's birthday party and tomorrow, Great-Grandma Kally's.
