The number one reason we left the US was because we felt like we didn't get enough time together as a family. We were caught up in the hamsterwheel just like most others. Work consumed most of our lives and if we were not physicly at work the leash, aka cell phone, was always on.
In the last few months we have gotten more and more comfortable with our decision to move and the life that we are creating over here.
Emmas swedish is getting so good that she is no longer in the special language classes at school. When we go to pick her up at fritids, after school care, we have had teachers, other kids and other parents telling us how great her swedish is getting. That is a great relief to us!
She is growing up so fast and this week she got to walk home from school all by herself for the first time ever.
Em is also getting spoiled with playdates with friends and movie dates with her auntie, just the way life of an eight year old should be!
And next week she has her first practice with her new soccer team! Should be intereting.
Dave is doing better and better every day that passes by. Both with his swedish but more importantly with his adjustment to this new culture and society. Maybe our last piece of our puzzle will fall into place next week.....
Oh our family time! I have missed it so much! And we are sure making up for lost time. Weekends are our favorite time as we get to hang out together from sun up to sun down, and our fridays are filled with the silver lining of wine, yum! Even Em enjoys her dinner with a kidfriendly drink in a wine glass. Its the small things in life and the Weavers are enjoying it to the fullest!
