Quite a week!

We have had quite a week here in the Kihlström household. I got the stomach flu, Ella got an ear infection, Nelson had major knee surgery, and Henrik is worn out. We had such a wonderful party on Saturday, and then bang! Well, we are all feeling better now, except for Nelson. He has a new cage and he hates it. The doctor said that he is not supposed to move for 5 to 6 weeks! This is difficult for him when the cage tramatizes him. He cries all night!

Only 11 more days until Chicago. The last couple of weeks can be torture, especially when I have lots of essays to write! Well, Ella's ear has to get better before we take off. Please pray that I am able to finish up my work, Henrik can get some rest, for Ella's ear, and if you don't mind praying for a dog, Nelson could sure use some help. Here are some funny pictures of Uncle Magnus having fun with Ella in the new cage.




We thought Ella had the stomach flu too, so we had fun drinking Powerade together, our green and blue medicine.

Watching Pippi Longstocking all day long..

Poor, Poor Nelson
Here are some pictures from Ella's party on Saturday, to close on a more cheerful note.

Happy Birthday Ella!!

Ella is 2 years old!
This morning they celebrated Ella at preschool. It was so precious. She loved all of the attention, and she loved having Mommy there. What a joy to be able to be there with her. She shared icecream with all of her friends and they sang "Ja må hon leva" for her. After we ate icecream one of the boys shouted out, "Jag tycker att Ella är ganska sött!" which means,"I think Ella is pretty cute!" He already has good taste!

Tomorrow we are going to have a birthday party for her. Cupcakes, cake, hamburgers, hotdogs, family and friends, looking forward to it. Wish that you all could be there too. I can't believe that she is two already!! Thanks for the cute outfits Grandma and Grandpa! Isn't she adorable?




She got to lead the train into the party room!



Proud Mamma, don't we look alike?


We baked bullar (cinnamon rolls) for her party tomorrow, she really got into it!
