New Project!
I have found a fun way to keep up my Swedish and combine it with my love for cooking. I have been converting Swedish recipes into English. I decided to turn the recipes into a blog, so that I can keep the recipes documented. I call it Swenglish Kitchen. You can find it here at www.swenglishkitchen.blogspot.com

Quincey's first talk in primary!
Quincey was assigned his first talk in Primary at church. He was so excited, and he did a really good job! I recorded it on my ipod, so it is in 2 separate sections. My little boy is sure growing up!
Cool Dog, School Dog
Quincey got this book from his preschool teacher, Mrs. Cori, for his birthday...
He loves it. And all of a sudden, after we read the book, he started dressing up one of his stuffed animals and he calls him Cool Dog, School Dog. He says that he is babysitting him. They do everything together.
The first thing he did this morning, before he even got out of bed, was to get Cool Dog, School Dog dressed. Here is a video...

My Beautiful Maiya
Dear Maiya,
When you were first born, you were such a calm and mild tempered little baby. Your brother Quincey was always so active and high spirited that I remember it being a stark contrast. I thought that you were going to be my quiet, calm and snuggly girl forever.
But, wow! The days that I would describe you as a calm and mild tempered snuggler are long gone! You have a wonderfully feisty personality. You love to tease and laugh. You also love to throw fits and say NO! You actually remind me a lot of myself ( especially the feisty and sassy parts).
You are extremely social and never seem to tire of being around your friends. I put you in nursery at church when you were 14 months old, mostly because you were so cute and friendly that the teachers wanted you there, and you've never wanted me to stay or had mommy withdrawals once!
Something that I find interesting about you is that you love going to the doctor, in fact you beg to go there quite often. You like to get shots, and get your blood drawn. For the past several months you have come with me to go to the doctor to get my blood drawn. You tell me where to sit and where to put my arms and reassure me that I will be okay, and it will only hurt a little. You had to get yours drawn once (just a routine test) and now you throw fits when I get my blood drawn and you can't!
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you bring so much joy into our lives. Thank you for being so fun and sweet (and a little feisty).
Love,
Your Mom
Here is a little video of you now at 2 and 1/2.
