Eyja 1 month

I used to take pictures

of my kids in one of our chairs

to see how they changed.

The first year I took a picture once a month,

and after that every six months and later once a year.

 

Now Charlene and I

want to do the same with Eyja.

 

 

Eyja had some problems sitting up

and she kept falling asleep during the photo session.

 

It was freezing

Frost is here

last night the temperature was below freezing,

but we still had a nice Saturday

at Klampenborg Racetrack.

Water had frozen to ice on the plastic chairs

and we admired this very thin and fragile piece of ice.

After drying off the table and chairs

we could have our picnic.

This is my Mom studying the race card,

while my Brother is studying the horses

that are flying past on the heavy surface.

Again, it wasn't the most perfect fall day.

The colors of the trees were a bit dark,

but I could see some red colors over on the other side

in Dyrehavsbakken.

These are the beautiful old stands.

Birthday for a 7 year old friend

Eyja slept almost the whole time

but here she is smiling.

All of Elias' presents were Star Wars stuff.

The perfect Fall day

Today it was here,

the perfect fall day that we loook for every year.

This year, just like a similar day 22 years ago,

I brought a baby to the beautiful Bokskogen

just outside of Malmö. 

Eyja's first day in the forest.

Beautiful, beutiful forest,

surrounded by open fields

and ponds.

Atli is carrying the baby in a baby wrap

and looks like he is pregnant.

Picnic time

 Thanks for lunch Mom!

I'm sorry for repeating myself

but I just have to show you this picture

that I didn't take myself,

but isn't it just wonderfully funny.

Family photos

During the baby girls first visit

at her Greatgrandparents apartment

we took a lot of family photos.

 

Sunday afternoon in the park

The parks in Malmö are nice in the fall

and we made the first walk in the park with the baby carriage.

The first thing needed

when my granddaughter came to visit

was a diaper change.

Since my cold is gone

I could hold my granddaughter for the first time.

Ready for a walk in the park.

The baby was fast asleep

while her parents played in the park.

While I made a really good fish stew

the others rested from the walk.

This is her tiny hand.

The Girl and the Cat

My granddaughter is home

 

and my cold is better today

so I could go visit.

I kept my distance,

but caught her with my camera.

Full and content on her Daddy's chest.

 

The kitten suddenly looks like a big cat.

I helped folding the laundry

and this tiny sock

belongs to this soft little foot.
