Birthdays

I haven't been posting many photos lately. 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!

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.
Rhiannon didn't have a party in the same sense, but enjoyed being woken up to lots of presents.

Not a bad hair day, but she was fast asleep 10 minutes earlier

Henrik is a fast runner and is getting increasingly difficult to catch, even with a good camera

Assortment of Holiday Photos

Another trip to wonderful Laholm in the summer. This time my Dad and his family joined us as well and gave me the opportunity to take a Hagström guys family photo. The only one missing was 12 year old Brodie who lives in Australia with his mother.
Here is an assortement of holiday photos.

Don´t worry, I helped him shortly after taking a few photos

Gåxsjö

We visited a little village called Gåxsjö on Saturday. It celebrated it's 600th anniversary!

Parkour Henrik!

Midsummer

Midsummer fortunately doesn't mean we've reached the middle of summer yet, summer only arrives up here in July and lasts until the end of August.
We attended the midsummer festival in the village which got off to a rainy start and forced us to seek cover in the old church.
The rain didn't last for long though and we could go outside and enjoy the show again.

Waiting for the hail and heavy rainfall to end from inside the church

The rain quickly ended and the festivities carried on

Summer(?) Outing

Occasionally the temperatures have reached a balmy 18-20C, warm enough for an outing to Indalsälven in Lit at least.

Elusive Subject

Finally I managed to take a photograph of my son Henrik! Lately, whenever he sees the camera, he seems to evaporate into thin air and it's only his teasing laughter that lets you know he is still around somewhere.
I could take this photo of him because his mother promised to let him spray her with water afterwards as a reward.



Rhiannon on the other hand can't wait to have her photo taken, or rather, can't wait to see the photo of herself.
