Life back to normal!

After a week of studying ash clouds and various airlines websites Adam's parents finally made it back to Australia and Adam back to Sweden. They met somewhere in the air between Stockholm and Luleå Thursday afternoon. Adam ended up having a pretty good week at a golf resort in Wales and even though it was a bit stressful not knowing when they would get back home, I think he had a good time there. Jane and John flew down to Stockholm Tuesday night but caught the night train back to Luleå since their Stockholm-Paris flight got canceled after they left Luleå. Who would have thought that a volcano eruption could cause so many problems?
Having Jane and John here for longer than planned meant that I could continue to go for my walks by myself nearly every day and I also went riding one day. John looked after Jakob and Jane Isak. It also meant that I had some company while Adam was away and got lots of help with the kids and they got to see Jakob and Isak for a bit longer than planned. Jakob has been obsessed with playing with John and he didn't get a moment to himself apart from when Jakob was a dagis. Jakob's English has been getting better and better and before they left he spoke at leastut 50% English (do you agree Jane and John?) when speaking to grandma and poppa. From only saying a few words he started saying 3-4 word sentences in English.

Yesterday I went to my work's conference/leisure place just outside Luleå for a get together with my department at work. My collegues were there all day but Isak and I turned up after lunch. We did some work in groups and Isak slept for a big part of the afternoon so I could be a part of some of it. Nice to see everyone again and also nice to hear about what's happening at work. I stayed for dinner as well and Isak entertained by farting loudly when laying on the table when we were eating.

Today I have been for a walk, been out shopping boxes and storage containers etc, taken Jakob out for a ride on his bike (and Isak to sleep in the pram), had mum and dad over for a coffee, had a nice dinner and dessert cooked by Adam. After the kids gone to bed I spent the rest of the night cleaning out drawers, the cupboard in the bathroom and organising some folders and boxes etc. Not often I feel like doing things like that so better get on with it when I feel like it, even though it happened to be Saturday night.
