Back in buisness..

Hey you all.. I'm back at the house in Leesburg after an awesome 10 days vacation with the Stewarts!! :) We have had a really good time!! we have had awesome weather and just enjoyed it so much!!

First we stopped at six flags(amusmentpark) in New Jersey. The kids and Scott went on almost every ride there was, while me and Vera stayed on the ground most of the time.. we all enjoyed it and the kids just loooved it!! and believe it or not, Molly and Scotty finally stopped talking about rollercoasters. They had been talking our ears of about it the weeks before we left. It was cute & fun but got a little enoying sometimes.. but it was great to see them so excited! and I think Six Flags forfilled there expectations..

After that we continued to Maine, the Stewarts had rented a cabbin by a lake. So we just hung out there; swimming, canoing, cajaking, reading and so. It was awesome!! and of course.. here it comes Scott.. lots of ice cream :) hihi..
On Sunday we had lobster-yuuum, with Scott's family. So nice to see them again!! We also did some "field trips" during the week. We played miniture golf & went to a arcade, we went to a national park and a cute city by the ocean, we went bowling, went out for dinner and to a cook out at Scott's sisters place. Scott's family came by the cabbin now and then during the week and hung out and the kids played and the cousins had sleep overs with us. Which the loved. They were so happy to see their cousins.. :)

Now were are back to the normal routins. The kids have summerschool this comming week too so I'll mostly hang out around the house I guess. Take it easy and relax.. maybe do some shopping. :) but it's not the same without you Hellen..

4th of July weekend

Had an awesome weekend down by Lake Anna!! sooo nice and so much fun :) We started our drive after lunch on Friday. Stopped in Manassas to go to a used book store and we also had ice cream. Yuum!! :) When we arrived we went straight down to the lake and went swimming. So nice! The water was really warm, it was like getting into a tub. So amazing!! In the evening, after we had had supper and the thunderstorm had passed, Scott and Curtis made a firework show for us all. It was really nice and beutiful :) the kids were all excited jumping around.

On Saturday it was time for the big parade. We had decorated a golfcart with flags and other patriotic things, and Tammie and the kids went on it and participated in the parade. It was lots of fun, we all enjoyed it very much!! There were some really creative and fun floats. The americans don't spare their energy on the 4th of July celebrations!!

After we have had lunch we went out boating on the lake. Sweat, I'll tell ya :) the kids & I went swimming from the boat and just had a blast. And we all enjoyed beeing on the water and just relax. In the evening we just hang out in the house, had some chickenkebabs and so..
On Sunday we drove back home after a delicious brunch..

Yesterday Vera and I went grocceryshopping and we shoppad some birthday presents. It was a nice trip!! In the afternoon I went to the dentist to finish the rootcanal. It all went very good and without problems. That dentist was very nice and sweat. Vera and I also cleaned out the garage later on. It was nice to do something physical and use your body :)

On Thursday we leave for another vacation.. we're going to Maine :) wee!! I'm looking forward to it! First we'll stop at Six flags(amusmentpark in New Jersey). The kids, Molly & Scotty to be exact. are talking our ears of about it. They are so excited! And then we'll continue north to Maine. Just gonna hang out and go swimming and so.. sweat!!

Update..

noticed that it a litte more then a week since I last wrote here.. Has been a good week!! Relaxing as usual.. driving kids abck and forth, gone to the pool a few times and so. It's still warm and humid but it's nice. We have had some rain too. Some showers in the evenings from passing thunderstorms.

On the 1st,this past Saturday, Molly had her biorthdayparty. It's lots of fun! She had a discotparty so we dressed up like in the 70 & 80ies. And we danced and had careoke and played games in the basement. Crazy but fun :) and ofcourse we had pizza and cake.. yuuum :)

Otherwise it hasn't happend that much. I have been taking walks now and then, and I went to Duller Town center to look around, see something else then the house and to find Molly something for her birthday. It was awesome to se Dulles again :) it's the same. A few things has changed I think but not many. And the other night I followed Natalia and her sister(they had been on vacation since I arrived and came for for a few days before they go back to Brazil tonight) to fairoks mall in Fairfax. Been there once before. Was it with you Hellen? can't rellay remember..

and oh yeah.. my teeth has been bothering me this past week. First it was the gums but in the beginning of this week it moved to on tooth far back in the mooth. So yesterday I went to the dentist, who was really nice and good. He said I have an inflammtion in that tooth and would have to get an rotcanal thing done or pull the tooth out :( so this morning I went back and he did the first part of the rot canal job. I was good numbed and didn't feel anything and got some stronger painkillers so I this far I haven't felt anything at least. Hope the painkillers will help during the weekend.. and on Monday I'll go back and the dnetist will finish the job. Hopefully I won't have any troubles after that..

This weekend it's 4lth of July weekend. :) Vera got home early today and tomorrow they are both off. We're going to south VA to visit some friends of theirs that live by a lake Ana. Will be really nice I think!! Looking forward to it!! :)

Have a nice weekend..
love ya!!
