Lindsay's cute houseI've returned after five weeks in Sweden, helping Lindsay with her 4th baby (and our 11th grandchild). Baby Alayna Lu (born on 09/09/09) is thriving. She's growing fast, loves her mommy, and tolerates her siblings, Izzy (2), Addy (6) and Ethan (8). Sweden was WONDERFUL, such a pretty country, and such nice people. I had a great time meeting all of Lindsay's new Swedish and American friends there. We mostly stayed home with the kids, the mess, the laundry, and the dishes. But we did a little sightseeing, too. Lindsay lives in a picturesque little village by the sea. We walked around town on the cobblestone streets and to the beach behind their house. We also went to the pretty town harbor. We drove to an ocean park nearby (Kullabergs) which juts out into the Baltic Sea. The view was really stunning. We also visited the bigger cities of Helsingborg and Lund, both of which were very "European," full of great old buildings. We took the ferry to Copenhagen and visited the actual "Hamlet" castle. Mostly, though, I enjoyed visiting with the kids and holding little Alayna--although she would have perferred her mommy's arms! I'm glad to be safely back home, but I miss Lindsay's little family in Sweden.
