New Blog, New Adventures, New Country...

Wow, it's been extremely busy weeks but we are finally here..
I'm gonna tell you the whole story another day!  Right now I just want to put up some pics from our first days in USA. Our adventure starts in Stella, Missouri, where we are going to spend a week with Jared's side of the family. I'm going to write in Swedish to, but it's easier when I can blog from my cellphone..

We had a good flight over with SAS, leaving Copenhagen in the afternoon, got lucky and upgraded from economy to economy extra hehe.. A little more space and one extra seat! That was necessary for an energized Jamie! We have been flying a lot and so far SAS has always been good! Flying with kids can be challenging most important is to keep calm, they're more likely to stay ok.(plan to have a lot of time at the airport!)..make sure they get some sleep, keep some emergency "surprises" in case of needed (both eatable and for activities like coloring books, stickers books..color pencils makes less mess than crayons) and let them suck on something during take off/landing...Both girls were really patient and easygoing almost, almost the whole trip. The only exception was when we finally landed in Missouri ( 20 h after leaving our house..)both girls were deep sleeping but we had to wake Natalie up to be able to carry all our hand luggage, so there we had a short crying moment... The trip took 21 h door-door...Sbg-cph-Chicago-Springfield-Stella. And we travelled with a 9 months baby and a becoming 4-year old, so to all families that hesitate just go!! It 'll be alright flying!

Oh, the "First flight kit" from Annika, Annika and Caroline was very useful! You're the best!! <3

 

 

Natalie was so eager to do it all "NOW mama..." the first day. She remembered a lot from last summer so we had to go ride, feed chickens, pick eggs before 8 o'clock first morning! Luckily for her the girls woke up around 3.30 so we had plenty of time. We went very early to buy a new bike for N,. She picked the absolutely most girly one...but it was her decision not much I could do...Price for the bike ( seems to be good quality) and a safe helmet was 100 $...it's always more fun to shop when it's a lot cheaper.. We promised N a new bike earlier this summer but thought it was a bit unnecessary to buy a new in Sweden for a few weeks.

This last week we have mostly been hanging around at home and visited great grandparents, some friends of J and we went shopping in Joplin. I didn,t buy so much this time (I'll put up pics of new ins later..) ,I gonna go back next week..its not so easy to go shop with N & J.  We also spend one day looking for a new car...we picked a good one, but we cant go get it until Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a Ford Explorer, black 2010. not a 0.4 l car but still better than a big pick up... ..

Oh ...To all beloved friends I didn't have a long talk with before we left, I'll be back November 5:th so see you then... ( and get Skype!)...
