18 photos from our family walk.

Mike is taking the entire week off of work. It's like our summer, all over again! It's happy for all three of us. Happy for Q because having mama + Dad at the same time is SO EXCITING, happy for me because I get to sleep in on occasion (this morning! lovely), & happy for Mike because he gets to relax & avoid airplanes for 9 days straight. 

Q was a sad boy yesterday. So much snot coming out of his nose. And it's green! It's like a Ghost Busters movie over here. We are huge fans of the NoseFrida (thank you, Carly - a lifesaving recommendation last winter) & Boogie Wipes around here.

We decided that we all needed to get out yesterday afternoon, even though it was what I have come to consider freezing (50˚). We bundled Q in his new coat from Grandma Jan (Mike: Gloves!! He needs gloves!!), walked outside with a sad boy who just wanted to cuddle, gave him a little pep talk explaining to him that it was a perfect afternoon for a family walk, & then went on our merry + happy way for the next hour+, wandering around the park & through the neighborhoods surrounding our home. We really like where we live. General happiness is up by at least 10% this week.

Polarn o Pyret, BabyBjörn and NoseFrida, three great Swedish things for sure!

Those boogers! Oh I died. One day when Q grows up and is trying to be a tough teenager, please let him know the whole internet saw his boogies.

I'm glad he was a happier boy by the end of the walk, and you look sparkly and beautiful. Enjoy your week as a family in one zip code!
