2011 , a year for the up´s and down´s in life !

2011 started off pretty much the same as 2010..searching for our dream house ,working away as normal and enjoying married life and life as a father , then we sold our little place in Sävast and found the house we fell in love with ,and everything seemed to be going just perfect, got a great price on our home , offered on the house that was accepted then  BANG ..Japan got a earthquake and tsunami , and as a direct consequence ...i lost my job..with the house situation in the process of completion.

Scared, angry, confused ,cheated is what i felt , i wanted a change of job , but in my timing.
had a plan for 2011 House, Swedish language exam C level to completion and to take joint Swedish citizenship and get settled in our new home and find a new job at the right time, all that went out of the window..had a meeting at the bank , and the man there done some great number crunching to see if he could get us a great deal and be able to afford the new home ..he did !  Martin, i salute you..so ..i had 3 months full pay and not needing to work..i set off knocking on every door in Boden and Luleå..if your searching for a job in Sweden during semester time ,it´s tough 1. all the students take summer jobs  and 2. the bosses are on semester !

So summer and the 3 months rolled past, a planned and paid for trip to Scotland went ahead as normal, not too sure of job opertunites when i got back to Sweden...even more scared now...i felt a failure , going to be the cause of us losing our home within months of buying it..and how would that effect our marraige ??? as my darling wife was working all the hours she could , but if i couldnt  find something , it would be sure to take effect on us and that made me sick to my stomach.

So the morning before we fly to Scotland i got woken to the happy news that Helena had pee peed on a plastic stick and it had a blue cross on it ...and i was going to be a daddy again ,(it´s no accident, we had been trying for over a year for baby number 2 ) overjoyed , our  family is expanding, and Oskar gets a brother or sister :-) next morning ,Scotland trip...2 weeks later we return, im still awake at 3am ,worried ,couldnt sleep, worried about finding work and paying for the house, i decided to check my phone ..clicked update, which is normally switched off..and beep beep....an e-mail with word of an interview ,that very morning at 9.30 , i was so happy and in a slight panic ...i had a clear out of my wardrobe..bought new clothes in Scotland...and our suitcases where still in Stockholm argggghhhh so in the morning i told Helena i had a interview, and i felt optimistic ...so shorts and t-shirts it was for the interview ...i got second interview on the friday and got the job....panic over...loving the job , happy again , not so nervous as before...and sleeping a lot better ...only not tonight..as it´s now 2.15am :-)  ...so there you go ..my roller coaster 2011 , and as we (Helena) rolls into 2012 we will introduce to you all our latest adition to our family , all being well !

Im not much for writing on this blog , but i think this has made up for it ;-)
Loving my life, my job , my wife and son , our new home ,the fact that we have another baby on the way, so there you have it ..the ups and downs of March 2011 -August 2011  , bumpy ride but everything worked out for the best :-)

Now bedtime ..again ;-)
Goodnight !

Summer 2011

Camping out in this garden 2011 for Oskar was a first , a first of many !

 This picture just defines what is so good about a Swedish summer...perfection !

 2011 and Oskar catches his first fish at Svartbyträsket in a record time of only 10 minutes :-)

The sheer terror on Oskar and cousin Molly´s faces ..even more so when i was about to tickle them ;-) it wasnt too high up !

Oskar went into the tent to "play" he was there over an hour !

 This is how we found Oskar at 4 AM as we were getting ready to go to the airport to fly to Scotland :-)

 The proper little jet setter !

 Oskar and Molly eating strawberries on uncle Rodney´s back door step in Airdrie ,Scotland

 I went and got a cover up tattoo when i was in Scotland ..thought this was perfect..even blended in the Scottish flag and the swedish flag together with my son´s name :-)

 Back in Sweden, after a tantrum session , he was shouting on his Mamma ,who had went out, and 30 seconds later  Zzzzzzzzzz ..bless him.

Oskar did love the tent

Hmmmm Oskar´s officially going to be a BIG BROTHER :-) 25th July 2011 .

Oskar "This is how i roll"

We went to Björknasbadet (outdoor swimming pool) during summer , and on cycling home after a roasting hot day at the pool , some passer-byers noticed our lite boy sleeping in his tailer .awwwwww 

Operation vardagsrum

Oskar och farbror Rodney


Oskar kan inte riktigt vänta på att snusse ska torka

Ja snart är det dags OPERATION VARDAGSRUM för det ser ut som om någon har spytt ut en rosa tapet utanpå en medaljong tapet (inte fan vet jag hur dom tänkte där)men nu efter många divideranden om vilken tapet jävel vi skulle ha i vardagsrummet så har vi hittat en vi kan komma överens om till och med oskar har godkänt .

Så imorgon ska vi se hur mycket fattigare vi blir för inte är det ju bara tapeter som måste bytas utan det är tak ,fönsterbrädor och lister oxå men golvet skiter vi i det är som kloka Petra säger det är ingen ide förän ungarna har blivit större.

Idag har vi varit på promenad till mormor och morfar och sen till ICA morfar har klantat sig och ramlat på inlines och brytit armen så dom har varit på sus hela dagen (op för morfar måndag eller någon gång under veckan)sen till Ica och hämta mammas nya vinter skor sen hem för lite lunch och en nap till mamma pappan och oskar gick till Lovisa och Martin sen kom halva familjen Johansson förbi med lite lek och bus sen vart mamma lat och det vart MAX till middag nu är ungen ren och fin och sovande efter bad och mamman håller oxå på att gå i deck pappan är och jobbar men kommer nog hem snart.

Här kommer lite bilder från sommaren om jag kommer på hur man gör !

Unbreakable Love !
