Halloween and Visitors from Finland!

We've now had the pleasure of hosting our first overseas and overnight visitors! My parents Inga and Oiva came to see us on the Halloween week. This was an exciting time for all of us, with a lot of new things to see.
Carving the pumpkins.











The kids went trick-or-treating like everyone else in the neighborhood - and now we have candy for the next 10 years, I think!
Meet Gabriella, Beatriz, Catherine, Robert, Johanna, Ella, Jonatan, Maja and Sommer.











Which one of the babies has a totally normal psychological reaction?











Halloween is now out of the agenda, the decorations were like vanished both in the neighborhood and the stores already the day after. Well, the Christmas stuff is already there, so they don't waste any time here!

Bye bye, grandma & grandpa! Thanks for visiting us!

Check this one out, Ola

This is my new project! A Ford Rat Rod from 1937. Art deèco at it's best.



It's at the Hot Rod shop now to get a Chevy 350 small block with a 350 Turbo automatic transmission installed. The frame is sand blasted and primed. Front axel is from a Mustang -77 and the back from Mustang -68. The roof is shopped 7" and it's dropped over the frame 8". Oboy, are we going to ride low?

And yes, It's going to look like this on the outer. At least in the start. It's a Rat Rod folks !!

Ola, schedule a ride !

A new bike in the family !












Now it's ready for some cruising. Our Schwinn "Heavy Duti" was made 1980 in Chicago.
It got new wheels, front lamp (Lucifer) from Schwitzerland, back light from Sweden and licence plate from Ohio and it really rides beautifully!

Fall Update 1: The Weather Change


Finally! Dropping temperatures, higher sky, amazing colors in the nature, a fresh autumn breeze - and some stuffy noses and a little tornado here and there - the fall is here! I am so happy I could dance all day long! We are spending a lot of time outside now, enjoying wearing long pants and fleece jackets.

Johanna's soccer season has grown into something unexpected; they are now facing the Play Offs for the State Champion. A really fun, exciting experience. Benke and I are turning into true Soccer Parents (see the movie below). Jonte is not that amused and we get into fight with him every single time we're off for his sister's game. Boring, he thinks, and brings his basket ball with him to shoot some in the mean time. Fine with me - both kids are going to play basket ball starting in Nov.

There have been some requests on pictures of Maja who's reached a few milestones in her life. She is crawling and is fast! She also has a sharp bite with her two new teeth, and every nursing session is a nerv tickling (or damaging) experience.









My life? I'm good.









Keeping busy,
