Malin is finally writing a post!
So I’ve been here for 1½ months now. And I can’t do anything else but love the boys. Nic and Dex you are my sunshine every single day. Katie and Joel I really appreciate everything you do for me. Joel has a hand-full teaching me correct English, sorry Joel I’m a little “retarded” (internal joke). But I’m getting there..
Katie is so kind, helping and we have our “boxes” (Katie collects giftboxes, shoeboxes, cuz it can be useful) and much more. We want our routines and we like it clean. It’s Katie and Me agains Joel, sorry Joel don’t take it personal. I like you too! You are like a big brother too me, and I love that you’re so smart and intelligent (you too Katie) because you make me calm and comfortable. Laura will stick up for you Joel I promise..
I feel like a member of the family, I really do. And the relatives I’ve met so far are amazing. I especially wanna thank Ryan for helping me out with the drivers license. I finally got it!
I’ve had a lot of bad luck since I arrived here. I’ve had troubles like following —> drivers license (proof of residence), Dol in Everett, BECU, classes have been cancelled, water-leak in the laundry room, coloring the bathtub, taking the boys out for a stroller-walk and ending up in the middle of two huge/long upstairs, with a twin-stroller and much more.. I can tell you it’s not easy to move to another country, fit in and do everything right from the beginning. Everything or well, A LOT is different. But I feel that I’m on my way now, I’m slowly getting there.. I just need to hang out, and it seems like my bad luck has finally turned (which I deeply like). I have so many pictures of the boys that I’m going to share with you. Joel and Katie steals my pictures now and then but they are not very good at shareing them with you. (Which is understandablesince they have two toddlers to chasearound the house!). They have many pictures now but I’m still going to share some with you here today.
I’m trying to watch some of the Olympics but I HATE the commercial. It’s really killing me, it’s twice as often in the US as in Sweden! So please, everyone at home, don’t complain! Sweden got it’s first Olympic medal today, Charlotte Kalla won the goldmedal of women’s 10 km freestyle! Whiiiooo swedes/girlpower!
I’m looking forward to Thursday when Grandma Zaidee and Grandpa Loren is coming for a visit! And the boys will be so happy to see you again!
Well this was it for me for this time. I promise to write again soon and post more pictures. If you wanna check out my blog the website is following, www.minusa.blogg.se!
I wanna end with apologize since there might be some misspelling, weird sentences or incorrect English. But I’ve tried! And I hope you understand, after all it’s not my native language. And English can be a little hard sometimes, I can tell you that. HEHE

What a nice post! This last picture makes the boys look so grown up. The bottom half of the refrigerator looks so clean…the toys are all gone.

What perfect little Valentines! They are the loves of my life, now and forever!

Dont worry Joel, I guess it was just that without a messy Au Pair you became the scrape goat….
