Shelly and Scarlett is looking out
the window from Kat's work towards Kiruna Kyrka, the redpainted city
church built of wood.
A couple of stores above there is a Webcam towards the same view. |
|
|
Scarlett is helping out with the
packing of the computers (she is in the light to the far left of the
bags...) We put them in plastic sacks to be safe from dust from the
repairs in the building. The office is moving over the summer to a
school in town. |
|
|
Here she is helping Kat shutting
the Server down as we are taking it with us to our new location. |
|
|
Kat is switching her old floppy unit
for a "new" one as it totally stopped working and Scarlett is
helping out... |
|
|
Here Scarlett is with a tiny
screwdriver Tommy let her borrow. |
|
|
A bigger shot of her holding that
screwdriver. |
|
|
OK, Kat, where do I go now??? Where
are those screws?? |
|
|
A closeup of Scarlett inside (!!)
the computer. Rascal! Guess my other babies have had a tiny bad
influence on her.... |
|
|
She climbed up on top the computer
looking for screws to work on. |
|
|
"HEY, Lennart, can I have some
macaronis??"
He doesn't look too disturbed of Scarlett
climbing all over his lunch plate... |
|
|
The kids are playing with their
vehicles. Tommy is showing off his four wheeler and Scarlett borrowed
the Power Wheels Jeep from Shelly and gave her a ride around the house. |
|
|
Teddy Heaven!! |
|
|
The kids are bathing in teddies.
You see AA Dent (give me a name for her!!), Bommy, Scarlett and Shelly
and LOTS of soft teddy bears and rabbits. |
|
|
A happy li'l girl with her old
teddy and the new one, both in a firm grip.
The beanbag-sack was part of the Accessory SWAP
from another Southern girl - Carolyn. |
|
|
One li'l exhausted baby passed out
on Christie's bed in the dollhouse. Christie's cat laid down right
beside her. |
|
|
Marisa and Scarlett in Kattis
Design oriental outfits. Wonder what they are talking about here? |
|
|
The girls played with Erik's
LEGO-dragons and took one each and flew around the house chasing
Dizzy. |
|
|
"Hi Mom! Have you
seen anything like this before???? What IS that thing?? Kat says I will
get one with me when I go. What are they?"
|
|
|
"And look at this!! They even have parking lots
for them!! So that is their name, Kat says - Spark. She said it's called kick-sledge
in English."
|
|
|
"Can you see me??? Have you ever seen this big
birds? These are called Ripa, Kat says or Giron in Lappish and that is
where Kiruna got it's name. Kiruna is "Swedish" for Giron.
Strange I thought Giron was Lappish for Ripa??"
|
|
|
We took a trip up to the city skiing mountain,
Loussavaara - that happens to be part of the LKAB-name - Loussavaara
Kirunavaara AktieBolag - you can see Kirunavaara in the back, across the
lake. That is where the mine is.
|
|
|
The girls are standing in the "window" of
the startbox at the down ski-hill looking out at Kiruna.
|
|
|
"Look Scarlett, there is where we live. Down
there". The girls are pointing towards Lokstallet - our tiny
community a few km outside of Kiruna. Our house is right beside Shelly's
hair - you can see our neighbor's black house a bit to the left of her.
|
|
|
"Hi Mom! Look at me and all these mountains!
Kat says that you should see the highest mountain in Sweden on this
picture. It's called Kebnekajse."
It's hardly seen as it is so far away - behind
all those blue hills... Kat's comment.
|
|
|
"Look at us Mom!! This is where I am supposed
to use that Kick-sledge!! Snow - in June!! Cool. Or rather freezing. But
it was fun to play in the snow. Just a tiny tiny pile of snow - enough
for us to play in!"
Elin found it at the back of that start-box.
Was cold behind it up on the top.
|
|
|
"Here we are shopping groceries. It's Lennart
that holds the wagon. He didn't want in on the picture but he giggled at
the whole idea. Can you see me standing on the butter?"
|
|
|
"Hey, look at all this stuff!! I want to
play!!! Why does it say Shelly?? OK, a few of my new friends here are
called Shelly...."
|
|
|
"WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THE BOXES?? Can't
someone let them out to play with me? We found a li'l something on a shelf
there but Kat said I won't get it :-( She said it is for Belinda Norrick. O
well, I know she will have fun here!"
|
|
|
"Back "home" again. I'm helping to
unpack the food - AND CANDY!!"
|
|
|
"Elin and Erik are dividing the candy into
their big mugs that Kat says is from USA!! Their Uncle Ulf bought them -
they are 'Thermos' - wha's that?? Can you see me hanging on one of them?
CANDY..... I want some! "
|
|
|
"WOW!!! I got some Jelly rats. They are BIG!!
But Yummy...."
|
|
|
Nikki took the kids out to ride the horses. Quite a
family. The had a great day out in the grass.
|
|
|
Scarlett borrowed Shelly's riding outfit and took
Susie with her.
"I have a friend at home just like her that
is named Melody. Susie is just as sweet as her."
|
|
|
The kids are jumping and playing with my fabrics....
Hard to get anything done as they took the ribbons and ran!
"Mom, can you see what I am wearing?? I have
a jacket just like this at home!"
|
|
|
A very tired li'l girl found a soft spot to lie down
and rest a minute after that exhausting time above... and I sneaked in
with the camera... ;-)
