Monday Musings

- We enjoyed a short but great time with some family from Sweden last week - my uncle and aunt, Ove (mom's youngest brother) and Maria, and cousins, Oscar, Linnea and Hugo. They stopped in Atlanta to visit us on their way to Vail for some skiing. Little did we expect was the snow in Georgia! pictures to follow soon...

- Larsson was a little sniffly when we picked him up from daycare on Friday just before the snow came, and we spent most of the weekend fighting a fever.

- Even though, they told everyone to stay off the roads on Friday night, Justin and I were convinced that we would have no issue getting home to sleep in our own bed. We let Larsson sleep over at Mormor and Morfar's instead of waking him. We left around 11 p.m. and did not get home until almost 1 a.m. It was not too bad, but where it was icy, there were long lines of slow moving traffic. In retrospect, we would have stayed.

- Because of the weather and travelling back and forth, we missed Finn's birthday party. We were so looking forward to it and hope to see him soon!

- We celebrated Valentine's Day together at home, although auntie babysat Saturday night so Justin and I went to a nearby restaurant Valenza for a late dinner after Larsson was tucked into bed.

- I kept Larsson home today, hoping to overcome the cold and that an ear infection does not follow. We enjoyed a long nap and played with tupperware and toys most of the day. He usually does not slow down very much even when he is not feeling well.
