Our cactus at home flowered for the first time. All of a sudden this long, weird appendage started growing out of it.

The flower was pretty spectacular, but only lasted 2 days, of which it was only really fully in bloom for one.

On Sunday, we went to the baptism of Stefan's childhood friend Tomas' daughter, Sally. It was at the church in Havdhem, farther south on the island. There was a luncheon and coffee afterwards and Haylie got to play with two of her friends from her old daycare that she doesn't see so often anymore, so she had lots of hyperactive fun.

Tonight we bought a stroller. It is an Emmaljunga Edge Duo Combi with sport chassis.

Enormous, but good for bouncing around in the woods, and we will be getting a infant car seat that can snap onto the chassis as a travel system. You can remove the bassinet part to use as a cradle on the floor - it is rockable (and has handles in the zippered sides). Lots of finesses.
