Here are a few photos to share with you from Easter weekend, which we are spending in our little cabin in Dalarna, Sweden.
Leiah is now 10 months old and all over the place, to say the least... she has taken her first steps (with a current record of 12 consecutive steps), learned to wave, and learned to clap. She is very active and quite social, and loves the church's music time that we attend once a week. As soon as the leader starts playing his guitar, she starts to dance, clap, and shout with joy.
Now six years old (perhaps going on 16...) Yaminah is doing very well, also. She dances once a week and plays "innebandy," as well as sings a lot. In the car on the way up to Dalarna she became quite annoyed with me when I mentioned something about her singing in choir in the future. "Mommy, you cannot just assume," she said. "I am going to be a pop singer actually!" She has decided (and is very serious about this) that she wants to be a singer when she grows up, someone who sings on stage and performs for people. To this end, she practices singing quite a lot. :) She loves singing in the choir in our church, Korskyrkan, though, and I love that she wants to sing! We also try to practice reading (I focus on English, since she will learn Swedish more when she starts school). She will usually agree to read the first page of a chapter if I read the rest for her. She has also recently gotten her ears pierced, which she was quite excited about, of course.
Here a few photos from the weekend. Hope you are doing great! Easter blessings to you and yours!
