Seeing Amanda

Tonight Malin met up with Amanda for a girls' night. We both really needed to just talk and hang out. She introduced me to this lovely bagel bakery too close to our place and suggested we try a pastry called rugolah. Kind of like an Eastern European pastry mainly consisting of butter filled with apricots or cinnamon or chocolate...
Hanging out at our place.

With Morfar on the Mountain


View of Vancouver from Cypress Mountain
We tried to make it to a top but had to give up after hours of walking in snow, mud and branches.

Morfar visiting


Malin's dad and now Mango's morfar Sven is visiting from Sweden. He thought Mango was the cutest (of course...) but also loved Vancouver and realized big cities can be the place to live. Days with long walks along the seawalls, good restaurants, barbecue on the balcony, shopping... Morfar took a morning walk at 7.00, found a favourite cafe for latte and came back by the time we roll out of bed around 9.30...Who will now bring us breakfast buns and fresh fruit every morning?


Mango got a babysitter as a present which he really seems to like. Even though he doesn't want to sit alone for long this place makes him do all kinds of happy noises as he rocks himself.


Dinner at Hapa Isakaya, Japanese "pubfood", a very lively restaurant around the corner from where we live. Food was good but maybe not so Japanese?


Mango slept in the corner, a new way of doing it as he usually prefers the sling. But any place is a good place (especially for the parents that are still a bit nervous whether he will stay asleep throughout the outings).
