Brännboll
Det har varit sånt perfekt brännbollsväder i det senaste. Lite lagom kvällsbris med härlig sol. I kväll träffades vi och spelade brännboll med våra amerikansk-svenska vänner Carolina och Matthew och deras 4 barn. Förutom att jag har så ont i fogarna så att jag knappt kan röra mig nu eftersåt, så var det jätteroligt.
Isak blev så exalterad när han fick fart på bollen att han hade lite svårt att minnas alla regler samtidigt och sprang flera gånger (utan att släppa slagträt) rakt ut i ytterfältet och utan att runda konerna. Men han fick kläm på det till slut. Som utespelare var han riktigt bra, dock, och han och Benjamin (som var brännare ett tag) hade bra samspel. Elina var väl ingen större fan utav organiserad sport, medan Anja ville hålla slagträt hela tiden. Tur att vi hade Benjamin och Daniel i andra laget som var lite mer tävlingsinriktade och drev spelet framåt.

Compare and Contrast
Here are pictures to be juxtaposed to the ones from my last post, keeping in mind that the time elapsed between these shots and the other ones is very little. Distance, of course, is another matter.


And here is a picture of Isak with his mouth-in-progress, taken today when he was home from school with a cold and fever (his eyes give his fever away). He has lost a total of 4 teeth now.

Climate Shock
To better illustrate the climate shock we experienced when leaving Sweden this time, I should also have pictures of Elina going to school the day after we got back home - wearing a short sleeve, above-the-knee dress (that Mormor bought for her at Maxi) and crocs in the 80 degree (26 Celsius) sunshine. You will have to imagine what it looked like.
This is what we did the week before.
