Happy Birthday Erik!

Erik's first meaningful sound or word was to put his hands up as horns on his head while moaning uuuhhhh... his way of saying deer. His first real word before even saying mamma or pappa, was shuushh... meaning fish.

Today, on his 10th birthday pappa bought him his first shotgun...
Erik had tears in his eyes and not even the sun could compete with the gleam on his face, the shine in his eyes and the brightness in his smile.

I just waived them off, my two men, with shotgun and muzzleloader, earplugs and shades, water and targets for a couple of hours at the shooting range.
I wanted to go with them but I have to see the dentist one last time before we leave for Sweden and go and pick up the kids school records.

Later we're going to eat Chinese buffet on Erik's request. And for tonight we're having a big ice cream fika!

16 days left...
