No sleep till Brooklyn

We are moving to New York! Malin has got a job at the UN Development Programme, starting in May. So as Beastie Boys (and Mango) sing "No Sleep till Brooklyn"...

Papaya!

On March 27th, Mango got a new wonderful little cousin, Malin's brother Gustav and his girlfriend Anna are the lucky parents. We think her name should be Papaya!

Breakfast in Seattle

From Bellingham via outlets, great dinner and very nice hotel to breakfast. We then spent the day enjoying Seattle by foot - Pike's Market, Waterfront, Pioneer Square, monorail, space needle, music museum, some shopping...

yes, Mango was also there...

Bellingham

Ebba, Malin and Mango went for a road trip to the US. First stop was Bellingham and our old school friend Sara and her family. Playing, great dinner, oh, we also went to Emily's school science fair.

Mango dolled up by Emily and Victoria.

Sightseeing in Vancouver

Mango sightseeing in Vancouver. Here he is at the exhibition "Borders", Museum of Anthropology.

Every tourist to Vancouver needs their picture taken in front of the steam clock (the first in the world) in Gastown.

Look at the balconies at this cool building in Gastown - Hope, Integrity, Respect...

Mango enjoying the town.

Tough kids

Whistler!

Malin and Ebba skied in Whistler for the first time and it was a truly amazing experience. The views, the snow, the slopes...

Chris taking a break from his telemarks.

Paraolympic was on and with that concerts on the main square in Whistler.

The view from the road on the way home.

Spring in Kits

Our friend Ebba, from Stockholm came for a 10 day visit to Vancouver. It was so great to see her and to hang out in our beautiful city. Spring in (our neighbourhood) Kitsilano...

Playing in Vancouver

Morfar/granddad brought presents from Sweden. Mango got lego from his cousins Mans and Joel. He loves it! The best was when morfar stacked them as a high tower and Mango could knock them over. The laughter is still ringing in our ears... In the background a Winnie the Pooh from morfar and Siv that reads stories and sings in Swedish while moving to the rythm. It's being played so much we already seem to know the songs.

Mango is shopping with morfar (no, he didn't get the hat but the jeans and the coolest little jeans jacket with a sunhat). Had to get him ready for spring-time...

Walking in Vancouver rain on our Cypress Street (note the gorgeous cherry trees blossoming) towards the beach.

Morfar visited Mango

Morfar (granddad) Sven visited Mango for the 3d time! A long weekend of walks, coffees, play and great restaurants.

We went to Grouse Mountain on one of those famous Vancouver days where the sun was shining in the city allowing for a stroll wearing only a thin sweater and then... snow on the mountain.

Isn't he the cutest?

Hockey GOLD

We enjoyed the hockey final at Eva and Shane's place as they hosted a supreme surprise birthday party for Pearl.
