MAY (Only A Month Away After This Post)

May was a good month, it offered a ton of unpacking, many tears as Grandma returned back home, some sunny days and chicken pox for Aleksander.
Once again, here comes a display of a ton of pics from May.



First up some random pics...
 Enzo and his bestfriend, Melwin, after school.


 I made pirogues in May, they looked nice and tasted yummy. Have to do this more often. It's a simple dinner and great to freeze in .

Mattias's other tattoo...he's going wild now.  

Enzo drew this airplane. I thought it was quite fantastic. Now that I am thinking about it, hopefully I set it aside somewhere, where?...I don't know at this very moment. Could be cool to frame and have in his room. Hmmm.... 

This kid loves milk, or as Aleksander says, "Meh Meh".  It's quite the thing here since we never could get Enzo to even drink a glass.  

Enzo loves climbing trees these days.  

While Grandma was still here we went to visit the lovely Lina. Enzo has always taken a liking to her...her she is giving him a spin.  

Enjoying May 1st with good friends and ice cream.







Mother's Day! Grandma's visit encompassed her birthday as well as Mother's day. What a treat!
For Mother's Day, her and I went to a brunch with the AWC and then we went shopping, or should I say looking and then back home to spend the afternoon with my boys. The day was great!














The following pics are of our new place.


 One of the views from the rooftop. The terrace is open to all the tenants and can be used for events etc. All you have to do is book it. I think they are doing some renovations on it this summer, which is definitely needed because it definitely doesn't meet safety standards.

 These are pics of our "backyard". Being that we are about 200yds (max) from the beach and all it has to offer and we spend ample amount of time there, I like to then call it our backyard. It's lovely! It's dreamy!!!!

 This is the building we live in.



Enzo cuddling with Grandma at the airport before her departure. Many tears were shed that day.




After Grandma left we had some warm/hot days and of course we spent them in our "backyard". 
 Enzo and Melwin


 Enzo and some friends from school.





Chicken Pox. After a couple of attempts for him to get the chicken pox by purposely exposing him to it and after it's spread through the his school, Aleksander finally got the chicken pox. Glad we finally got that over with. He got a ton of them, and he was scratching (in spite of me pumping him with anti-histamines) and now I am in fear of him having a ton of scars, particularly on his face. I bought some oil which we rub into his skin (face) daily to help minimize the scarring. Darn those chicken pox!!! 





One day in May we spent a whole day watching the Lindgren girls. It was fun and more chill then anticpated. I don't know if it's the fact that they have a house which means more footage and easy access outdoors or if it was the fact that the kids were in similar ages. Whichever, the day really went smoothly.
And it was briefly warm enough for the kids to splash around in the pool. The bigs kids had a blast, the little ones just observed.
