1 1/2 today

 

Exactly a year ago I wrote this post. Today I am sitting here trying to write this post with a very squirmy toddler in my lap. Explaining that the paper is for drawing, the book is for reading and that pens and books don't mix all that well. Oh and I am trying to keep her hands out of the coffee cup as well :)

It is also roughly a year since we started the whole husband living away part time arrangement. All I can say about that is that it still sucks... Especially when I fall sick, or even worse, when both me and the young one fall sick. At the moment the little one is suffering from a cold paired with and ear infection, two weeks ago it was a stomach flu... I do realise we are not the only ones living this reality, I have friends who are pulling of the same, except that they have two kids (or more). I feel bad for my husband who is missing out on so much time with our daughter while she is young. He gets to follow her milestones and achievements vi e-mails and iMessages; first steps, first solids, first drawing... I don't even know how many photos and videos I have taken of our bundle of energy, but it is in the thousands.

Now back to reality, time for some outdoor time. Got to love winters in Saudi, sun is shining and it is around 20 degrees.

 

Oh, by the way, she still sleeps the same way.

Homebody

With five trips in less than two months I am REALLY happy to be able to spend the coming few months at home. Preferably curled up on the sofa or playing with our daughter that is just such a little bunch of giggles!


Or why not enjoying a cup of coffee with a cupcake on the side?! Happy Sunday everyone!

Granada, Spain

The answer to the question in my previous post. The last four days we have spent in beautiful Granada in Spain. So much history and ao much to see, Alhambra being the highlight of it all.

A different type of fast



I have been reunited with our tiny tot for a week now. To not have her around for two weeks was HARD, so the past week I have been making the most of our time together. I took time off from other things, I decided to go on a Facebook fast for a while. And it was good, must do it more often!

Eid Mubarak & Hajj Mabrour



We are back from an experience of a lifetime. We have performed Hajj, alhamdulillah.

I will come back with some pictures and some tales from our week. But right now I am gearing up for a quick trip to Finland to pick up our daughter who has spent the lat fortnight in my parents' care.

Meanwhile we can only hope and pray that our Hajj was accepted, or as they say in Arabic : Hajj Mabrour.

Gate 32


At the gate, waiting to board my flight to Istanbul. I wonder if we will all fit om the plane..

Väntar på att stiga på flyget och undrar om det finns plats för oss alla...
