fall 09/29/2011
 my sisters dog. Aisha I love fall. I really do. But the shorter and darker the days, the more tired I get. Time to start swallowing those vitamin D pills again. there is my reason/excuse for not blogging so much ;) Add Comment uugh! 08/31/2011
 I know my blog posts are Not that exciting. But sometimes one just need to share. Even if it is just to space. My day was not great. Micah is sick. And I am so so so tired ! All I can say today is " Coffee, I love you!" :) look what I found 08/27/2011
 When I was out walking the other day, I found this little leaf on the ground. As if nature was saying ; fall is here.. I love those fall colors! :) And it made me smile to find this. A bit sad too, because summer is now "over". And all the fun we had already seem so far away. Although, today it came back one more time and hit us with really really hot weather! (thank you summer. I need that extra vitamin D to survive another Swedish winter.) But all the seasons brings beauty to me, in their own way! And I welcome fall, when it decides to stay! whats next huh? 08/24/2011
 I´m back! :) And I´m wondering what in the world this fall will bring. I have no idea. I am sort of hanging in the air. It´s what it feels like. But I guess that is sometimes okay too. However, I know one thing for certain. And that is, that I love photography. And that I´m working on my own little photography page. And that I want to take it one small step further. (small) I´m taking a workshop in november. It´s held by Christina Greve from Divas and Dreams. She is one of my favorite photographers out there. Not only because she is so talented, but because, even if she is really big by now, she still takes time with each and every one that asks her something. She is an inspiration and loves to share her knowledge! I am So excited to be part of this! I also know that I want to write a bit more about Micah. Because, after all, keeping friends and family up to date is why I started this blog :) So there will be a bit more of that, amongst this blur of a blog that I have . See you soon! break 07/28/2011
 I have been thinking about this for a while now. Weather I should continue blogging or not. I Think i have pretty much decided I will, but I´ll be taking a break first. I want to spend more time with my family, my friends and God, and less time by the computer. But I also get a lot out from blogging my photography and sharing my daily life, so I will not really give it up! I´ll be back. But for now i´ll take a short break , and I hope to see you here when I get back! take care :) love, Dana the little girl with the big eyes 07/06/2011
I wasn´t going to share this photo actually. For no good reason thou, so I´ll share it anyways, not having to say much about it, except that this is my cousins daughter. Her name is Lova. Micah was taking a bath and Lova watched. And stole bubbles. Is she the cutest ever or what!? I think she would be a perfect girlfriend for Micah in the future ;)..(waaaaaay future)  wet 06/23/2011
 Where did summer gooo ?? It got freezing, and it got wet! I do not appreciate it! I love rain if there is a shower during a hot summerday, so you can go out and get really soaked, and then dry off in the sun ( with a little help from a towel), and I love it during the nights! But cold rain on what is supposed to be summer days..NOT! Our apartment is colder in the summer than in the winters, because they have this automatic system that turns off the heaters by a certain temperature. ( we have no AC) I had the janitor here today to see what they could do about it, and all he said was, that because we are at the bottom floor, we don´t get as much heat as the other apartments, and that we should buy a portable heater. (!) I guess I´ll just have to do that then. In between rain showers, i do hang out with my new awesome friends by the playground with all our kids! Having coffee and chatting while the kids are playing. And I went with them on a forest walk with some of the kids, all their dogs and my new D7000 (yaaay), yesterday. The dogs went nuts by the little forest pond and it was a joy to see! I´m hoping for more of those walks in any kind of weather really ! Tomorrow is midsummer nights eve. This is a BIG thing in Sweden. We eat herring and potatoes, strawberries for dessert, and we dance around a may pole singing about "little frogs that has no ears and no tails" while jumping like frogs. ( I could live without that one ). I´ll try to get to one of those celebrations for pictures to post later on.. If it´s not, ya know, raining. poops 06/08/2011
sorry. but, nothing seems to be working right lately. My computer crashed. The internet is slooow. And now, the blog editor is refusing to co operate with me. Just so you know. I haven´t quit on the blog. I´m just waiting for better times when it comes to the technology around here! Other than that, It´s been HOT around here! Around 95, but with the humidity, it feels a lot hotter than that! And do I have to remind you, that in Sweden, AC is not very common in the average household. Last night, we had a thunderstorm not seen in 20 years in this town. There where 837 strikes all over this area (the town and surroundings) Yes. 837!!! And i believe it, Because it was like a war zone! I have never been afraid of the thunder, but yesterday, even I was beginning to tremble (just a bit). Micah was very scared! and he wanted to sleep with us (!). he never wants to unless he is really sick. But it´s not all bad. I´m enjoying the heat actually!( Although the sun is way to sharp.) And we had a fun weekend. And in general, life feels pretty ok for the time being :) me 05/27/2011
 I am a very very selfconsious person. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don´t have patience. I compare myself to others too much. I always think everyone else is always better than me. I am not living in the moment. I´m always one step ahead. (missing out on moments that will never come again). There is alot that I could change about myself. Alot that I am working on. It´s hard! I´m talking alot about this with my friend and "mentor", a very wise lady from church. Because, I always excuse myself. Like I´m excusing myself for being who I am, having the opinions I have, and actually think sometimes that I´m right. (instead of thinking it at first, and then analyse it to bits and pieces and think that maybe I should change what I just said, into something people want to hear). I often say to Josh "but, people don´t take me seriosly". He replies: " No, YOU are the one not taking yourself seriosly" He is right. I´m 30 years old. It´s time I stand up for what I believe in, and yet be humble enough to change when I need to. I want to be who i was born to be, created by God, just being me. ( there, I totally vented tonight. phew. and thanks for listening) Pets 04/08/2011
 my Cousins cat, the most awesome cat I know. Nelson Pets. Most of us love them. Right? I Know I do, but nowadays mostly at other peoples houses. Where I don´t have to have the responsibility. I really had my share of pets throughout the years! during the four years growing up in Africa, we had atleast five dogs, two cats,chickens, a monkey, and not to mention my collection of lizards that I kept updating whenever they dissapeared. When back in Sweden, we grew up in the country, and there we had two dogs, a number of cats (not all at the same time thou), fishes, and a bunny. I always begged for "just one more" whenever a friend had kittens. And I always "promised to take care of them always and forever". Luckily, we all loved our pets :) Since Josh and I got married, we have had two dogs ( again, not at the same time, and...we didn´t have the best of luck with neither of them, so no one of them stayed with us very long), cats, rats, and a hamster. Since Micah was born, we haven´t had any at all. I felt that I couldn´t really handle a pet and a baby, as I was not at all feeling good Micah´s first year. But we have been talking about a pet for Micah for some time now, as we want him to learn to how to care for another creature, learn responsibility, and have something "alive" to play with :) After finding out Josh is allergic living with cats, and i am just not ready to take on the responsibility for a dog, we settled for this small little guy.  Ludvig Von Haberdasher ,the guniea pig also, as you can see, I made some changes around here. I still need to update some pages but for now.. I do hope you like it :) |  MeHi, I'm Dana. I'm a Swede, married to an American, and mother of one little boy. I have just entered my 3rd decade and I'm just beginning to find out who I am. It's an ongoing process, really. To help, I have my Lord Jesus by my side. I think He must have a lot of patience. Categories:All sponsoring :
