  • First grade!! And the end of a loooong summer vaca for this little gang (although the smaller two don't start until next week). When I set my alarm clock last night I realized I hadn't used it since the 04:45 wake-up call when we left for Italy 7+ weeks ago! Thanks Swedish parental leave for these two lovely months off with our minis! It has been 👌🏼. #firstgrade #firstdayofschool
  • School starts tomorrow so Alec was in a crunch to finish the last couple of boxes on his summer reading bingo. Watching him read to his siblings in the grass was the best thing ever. Every few pages he stopped and asked them if they had any questions and then thoughtfully answered the ones they had (like explaining what an island is to Nonie). #summerreading #läsbingo
  • Little Nonie Pony, watering the kids' little garden and then knicking all the strawberries while her brothers are at swimming.
  • Alec picking strawberries for his little cousin Hermine.
  • Creative evenings in the studio with my girl while the boys are at swimming.
  • Pit stop for coffee and energy balls at our local spot when it was just the three of us the other day.
  • Little Nonie, in her orange life jacket, off on a little adventure with Morfar and her great aunt. #countrylife
  • And dessert on the lawn. The kids picked raspberries and currants and my mum made a beautiful pavlova.
  • Second location: Dinner was pasta pesto (birthday boy's choice) out front.
  • For Louis' birthday dinner, my parents set up what they called a "progressive dinner". Here's before dinner drinks and hors d'oevres in the perennial garden.
