Belated baby shower and blessings...

I was very blessed when my sisters and mom through me a belated baby shower. It was really fun and very enexpected! Thank you special fam!

Elias also had his blessing ceremony in church last week and after that we had a special naming ceremony for him at home. It was a special time. Here are a few photos.

Here's a few more photos. For some reason it takes a long time to upload photos here, so if you want to see more you can check them out on facebook!

Life in SA

Hey everyone!

Well, it's been a while since we've given any update! Things have been busy with settling in and moving up to Durban and Manne starting varsity. We also don't have internet where we stay yet, so we can only get online when we're visiting my parents.

It's been lovely here in the heat. We've met a lot of great people. We're staying in a lovely flat in a beautiful conservancy. we're renting a place from a lovely couple that are becoming like extra grandparents to us. There's a beautiful pool and it's very peaceful there.

Manne has now been at varsity for 1 week. It's been an interesting experience for him. Africa definately doesn't run on the same efficiency as Sweden, so he's been having some fun adventures.

Elias is doing great as well...he's a real blessing. He sleeps between 8 and 11 hours a night, so at least we get to sleep as well!!! He's getting big and strong now...and is starting to laugh a little. We'll have to try and capture it on video sometime...it melts my heart!

Anyway, we think of you all in America and Sweden often...you're in our prayers!

Lots of love and hugs!!!
