Soooo cute
One tired little princess, curling up among her toys
So proud over her achivements.... well not only V, but mom and dad too.....
V is now a big girl, and all of a sudden she grabbed her walking stroller and just rose and.... walked!!! So now this is the new, hot thing to do - over and over again!
After the game Elgin Street closed down and gave room for thousands of people who wanted to celebrate their team....By the magnitude of the celebration you could almost think they'd already won the Stanely Cup:-). People cheering, screaming, cars honking the horn and Sens flags everywhere. Fun to watch!
Ottawa was a ghost town on Saturday Afternoon as EVERBODY were watching the game, so we decided to do so as well.... as seen even the cops are having trouble staying away from the TV.
Diaper change and play time in the park. In the background a statue to honour all the soldiers participated in wars and the Parliament's clock tower
V has the ability to draw attention to her.... this little girl from Russia ( I think....) became very fond of V and played with her for several minutes.
The Parliament
It's not easy to try to get both of the babies to look in the camera at once... evidently V found something else more interesting to look at.
Jeff and Magnus sharing baby stories -or was it sports talk (?), neh... couldn't be- while watching their daugthers play.
Last Sunday, May 13th, was the Canadian Mother's Day. Strangely enough I didn't get particularly celebrated.... but anyways Jeff, Linda and Gabriella came over for som BBQ in the nice weather and then we all celebrated with a nice meal and some superb wine.
I just love tulips and there are some in our backyard.... they light up the whole place!
The Lilacs in our garden is just about to burst - "Den blomstertid nu kommer....."
Became a bit nostalgic as I passed a neighbour's flower bed and saw this cute Forget-me-not (Förgätmigej or Myosotis Palustris) which is the official flower of Dalsland, my hometown region in Sweden.
Summer is here.... warm, nice, sunny weather and lots of beautiful flowers! I just had to shoot some pics to show you all.
V is trying her first ice cream, and just as anticipated, she just couldn't get enough! She was very upset when M took it away to finish it off:-)
M bought this Giant Jays hand "for V"....yeah right:-)
Action picture
Playtime! 
- Hej, hej! and Bäää (the sound of the sheep) are her favourite "words" right now. She waves when she sees people and when they are leaving. When she sees any animal it's the sound "Bäää" to imitate them:-). Just waiting for her to say Mamma... it just has to come before pappa!
Grandpa Nils and V playing, clapping hands!
Towards the end Tomoko got a little tired, so M is giving her an helping hand
Nils, Tomoko and V out enjoying the fresh Muskoka air and beautiful trails at Taboo Resort. Unfortunately the Golf Course wasn't open, so no playing for father and son this time...
As Christmas gift, Nils & Tomoko got a get-away to a nice Muskoka Resort when they we're going to visit, so to fulfill this gift we left for Taboo Golf, Spa and Resort in Gravenhurst, Muskoka from Friday to Saturday. A beautiful resort in fantastic surroundings. We had a superb dinner and a great time, taking a nice walk in the woods to look for Canadian mooses (without any luck - but we saw a turtle!) before heading back to T.O.
Tomoko by the Horseshoe Fall, Niagara Falls. A must-see for every visitor:-)
V's first contact with grass.... not at all impressed. Scary stuff!
Finally the spring has sprung for real! Now we have had nice weather for about a 1½ weeks with temperatures between 15-23 degrees. Sweet.
It has been a couple of weeks since last and during this time we have had M's parents here for a visit. It was great having them and also to get enthusiastic babysitters ;-). They left yesterday for New York City.
