Doggy tricks

Sorry for the silence. We had a weird experience that we thought might have been related to the blog but it turns out it wasn't, so I took a hiatus for a while. In the meantime, the weather turned beautiful, we've almost finished setting up the study/guest room, and we're preparing for the Swedish summer - four weeks of family holiday. We'll mostly be hanging out here, going on day trips and easy overnights and enjoying all the beaches within walking distance, though we're also going to Devon for ten days to be with James's parents.

We're becoming close with our neighbors, with whom we share a balcony. They're a bit older than us, eagerly awaiting grandchildren of their own, so they're borrowing our littles every now and then.

They have a dog whom Leif loves (August is warming to him). He's a young, large, fierce dog, so we're all always paying close attention when he and the kids are out. He's very gentle with Leif (and very frisky with August!), and it's sweet to see.

And here's Leif playing fetch with himself (email subscribers, click here):
