To be honest I haven't even looked at it for months. Time flies and before I knew it our long winter was over and summer arrived bringing (as always) very mixed weather... It's also a busy time of year especially now that so much "kit" for our Land Rover has finally arrived just waiting to be bolted on and used.<br />I don't really know what photos to select or post so here are few random pics from summer so far!<br /><br /><br />Henrik's football practise<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5934132443/" title="Henrik 021 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5934132443_f8c3eabb91.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Henrik 021"></a><br /><br />A short trip to the east coast to try out the beach and new tent<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5934132581/" title="Rhiannon_032 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6026/5934132581_360b02d0ff_o.jpg" width="429" height="645" alt="Rhiannon_032"></a><br /><br />Too cold to swim but the beach was alright<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5934132741/" title="Henrik Rhiannon 006 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6130/5934132741_d7fcb4d2be.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Henrik Rhiannon 006"></a><br /><br />Back home again and a couple of weeks later Rhiannon tried out the lake in Lit<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5934132905/" title="Rhiannon_033 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6149/5934132905_7246777e51.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Rhiannon_033"></a><br /><br />Well that's it for now.

This year Lorienne, Henrik and I took lessons in downhill skiing and I'm proud to say that Henrik is now one of those little kids!<br />After having gone down the slope a few times together with Henrik I told him I wouldn't wait for him this time and that I was going go faster than before. He was ok with that, but after about half the slope I decided to stop and check on him anyway only to hear his voice right behind me saying: "Why are you slowing down Dad???"<br /><br />Henrik on top of the slope just after getting off the skilift<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5462700966/" title="Henrik 020 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5462700966_2b63d578c5.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Henrik 020" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432785046710055835.post-86446901086707441982011-01-09T20:22:00.000+01:002011-01-09T20:29:14.645+01:00Christmas and New YearThank you Matthew and Lauren for visiting!

Just lack of time I guess. Anyway, here are some photos of recent birthdays. The whole family was born in September. Yes that's right, Virgos RULE!<br /><br />Henrik is still a bit camera shy so I have to catch him when I can. For his birthday we took a whole lot of his friends and his little sister to a playhouse called the "Jungle House". You rent a birthday room with a theme (Henrik chose the Pirate room) and kids eat cake, sweets and open presents. And play like mad in all the tunnels and slides etc later of course.<br />Rhiannon didn't have a party in the same sense, but enjoyed being woken up to lots of presents.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5046942137/" title="Rhiannon_030 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5046942137_46793e24e9.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Rhiannon_030" /></a><br />Lorienne taking Rhiannon down the slide<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5047565022/" title="Henrik 018 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5047565022_48cb159495_o.jpg" width="429" height="645" alt="Henrik 018" /></a><br />Blueberry Monster Cake<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/5046942587/" title="Rhiannon_031 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/5046942587_05fe62d6a8_o.jpg" width="429" height="645" alt="Rhiannon_031" /></a><br />Not a bad hair day, but she was fast asleep 10 minutes earlierUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432785046710055835.post-37097254190324225862010-09-09T20:13:00.000+02:002010-09-09T20:17:49.907+02:00Summer Photos<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4974121563/" title="Rhiannon_029 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/4974121563_98d7bbbcfb_o.jpg" width="429" height="645" alt="Rhiannon_029" /></a><br />Rhiannon and Henrik's aunt Delia<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4974736186/" title="Henrik_017 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/4974736186_816c802d48_o.jpg" width="429" height="645" alt="Henrik_017" /></a><br />Henrik is a fast runner and is getting increasingly difficult to catch, even with a good camera<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4974121181/" title="Rhiannon_028 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/4974121181_f60a02deaa.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Rhiannon_028" /></a><br />Ballet in the fieldUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432785046710055835.post-87990425095738484492010-08-23T21:02:00.000+02:002010-08-23T21:05:18.786+02:00Assortment of Holiday PhotosAnother trip to wonderful Laholm in the summer.

Lorienne even got admitted to hospital for a week where they drained 3 litres of fluid from her left lung! <br />Apart from illnesses it's been the coldest winter we've had since moving here in 2002 with temperatures staying well below -20 C for weeks. The Land Rover has thrown a few problems my way too with strange noises from the front axle and failing clutch hydraulics. Not much fun working on the car in the winter darkness and icy cold.<br />Only now these last few days it´s been much warmer, the sun shines, Lorienne is much better, I fixed the Land Rover and the days are getting longer and longer.<br />Needless to say my photography has taken a step back in all this. There's been a lot to do around the house with Lorienne out of our routines and system, but things are getting back to normal again and I'm looking forward to a long hot summer with plenty of photo opportunities!<br />I did manage a few photos of family though:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4497853980/" title="Henrik Rhiannon 005 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/4497853980_33b2771422.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Henrik Rhiannon 005" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4497853830/" title="Lorienne_Rhiannon_002 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2698/4497853830_1396d9c812.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lorienne_Rhiannon_002" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4497217601/" title="Lorienne_Rhiannon_001 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4497217601_5569d9814a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lorienne_Rhiannon_001" /></a><br />Rhiannon does the face but Mommy blows the bubbles<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4497853354/" title="Lorienne_Henrik_001 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4497853354_a64971df52.jpg" width="500" height="481" alt="Lorienne_Henrik_001" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4497294113/" title="Lorienne_001 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4497294113_0c95d01993.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lorienne_001" /></a><br />Lorienne in hospitalUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432785046710055835.post-87866253327842825332010-03-12T21:13:00.000+01:002010-03-12T21:26:27.390+01:00Home"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone..." Those are the words from a song, I forget the name of it and the rest of the lyrics, but while Lorienne is in hospital the evenings are lonely and the days are long. The kids must think they have a weird dad at the moment. My mind is out of focus while worrying about my wife who's ill and I'm not good at entertaining my children right now.<br />Until she's back home again an important part of our tightly knit family is missing here in our house.<br />Get better, come home, we miss you, we need you.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30528797@N06/4427939998/" title="Matti_002 by www.mattiashagstrom.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4427939998_1d9d861c49_o.jpg" width="430" height="645" alt="Matti_002" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432785046710055835.post-65529949448313898852010-03-07T20:20:00.000+01:002010-03-07T20:23:37.550+01:00Chocolate CakeSo what's nicer?
