Uncle Steve!!!

So, after grandma coming in April, then Heidi coming in July, we ended this summer with a week's visit from Uncle Steve. What can I say, if we don't get to visit my family, my family gets to visit us!

It was so great having Steve here and being able to show him around. Samuel absolutely LOVED having him around. Sofia thought it was pretty special as well. (Emmy was indifferent) The kids had a great time showing Steve their school, the shark museum, the islands, playing spiderman, telling stories and working in the garden. When it was time for Steve to go back home, Samuel asked us why he had to go and we explained that he had to start work again. Confused, he asked why he couldn't just work at daddy's work and stay here in Sweden. If it were only that simple...

Here's a couple pictures of our week.

Looks like you had lots of fun! I am so glad you have had so many of your family members come visit you this year. It really does make life easier and more cheerful as you get to see, spend time with, and reconnect with those you grew up with and bonded with over all those years!

WooHoo! Steve! Steve looked like he enjoyed the trip as much as the kids enjoyed playing with him! What a neat uncle! So touching that Samuel wanted him to stay! When are you coming to the States?

Looks like you guys are doing wonderful. It's good to see Steve looking so happy. How's he doing anyway? I have a girl I want to set him up with. Looks like Sweden is working well for you.

Don't you love it when family comes to visit??!! I've had my whole family here this past month, and it's been hard to say goodbye to them all over again. :) Now we just need to get YOU guys out here to NC!
