Cold day..

From 27th of nov..

So far we have had nice and relaxing two weeks in Sweden. November has been alot warmer than usual, and also more green. Moms neighbor mowed his yard yesterday... But it will be cooler.

It's really nice to see all friends and family again, I wish all people were of work though so we could just hangaround..but thats not how the real world works...Only when you are parentfree with your extremely wild 1year old..
One of my best friends, Annika, is also home with her little daughter right now so we can admire our girls together!  It's truly a unique and such a big advantage swedish parents have overhere. Parents can stay home with their baby for a long time without worries for losing their job or not pay the bills. The swedish law give you rights to stay home 480 days ( each parent must at least take 60 days, the rest you can split however you wish between the mom and dad). For 390 days you will get almost 80% of your salary ( depending on your average salary the last 240 days before the birth). The rest 90 days you get 180 sek minus tax (so only like 20 usd/ day). And you can plan to "take" as many days a week you need to save days for future until the child is 8. All in all unbeatable benefits for swedish parents...

I put up some pictures from my cellphone...All taken in Hörvik, where we stay right now.
