Vacation is over soon....

Freja eating rice ("grot") and Bjorn cheering her on

I had 5 days off each week this year during Christmas week, and then New Year's week and what a treat it has been!  To spend the days waking up with everyone, snuggle with Freja, play soup with Bjorn, and to have bre i nkuakfast as a family, it has all been so wonderful.  I was able to go with Laura and the babies to open gymnastics on Friday, I have never been able to go with them since I always work on Fridays, so it was a nice treat.  Bjorn loves it, he was jumping, rolling, and he even held himself up on the rings and swung, very impressive!

Monday again, back to work, it was so hard to leave this morning, Bjorn wanted me to play soup, and Laura told him Pappa has to go to work, but he kept asking, then he said, "Pappa, go work", and the sad face he gave me made me so sad.  If I only could win the lottery so we all could stay home every day....but on my way home tonight, Bjorn called me on my cell phone and said,"Pappa, where are you?", and then he said, "Dinner is ready", and I said I am almost home, I love you, and he responded, "I love you Pappa", he just melts my heart all the time.  When I walked in the door, he was already at the table ready to eat, and Freja gave me her big smile and wink, I love her smile.  

Bjorn had a really good dinner, he ate so much carrots, he even ate some corn and green beans.  I think he is trying to show us that he can be a big boy and eat everything we ask him to eat, or at least try.
