The Butcher Shop

Johnny was told about this cool place in town where they have all kinds of food boutiques. There's a grilling store, candy store, bakery, fresh burgers, deli, etc. We enjoyed lunch there today, and we may have found a place to buy a Thanksgiving turkey. It's called Slakteriet which translates to slaughterhouse. When I heard that I was a bit hesitant to go there, but it's so nice inside.

Fall is My Favorite

Today we decided that, although chilly, we were going to go hiking behind our house. We've been wanting to do it and the leaves are just so pretty right now, so what better time!?! We bundled up and headed out back and here is what lies in our neighborhood. We're so lucky to get to enjoy this!

Emma's Swedish

I picked Emma up from school today and she said, "Vi ses på måndag!" (we'll see you on Monday) to her teacher. I was impressed and her teacher said she is talking a bit at school in Swedish. I guess she asked the teacher the other day "Var är mamma?" (where is mom?). At home she sings in Swedish but I haven't gotten to hear her speak Swedish yet! Learning a language at my age is proving to be tough, so it's cool that my kids will know another one at an earlier age.

Where is the Sun?

On every Friday I have to be to school at 8:30 which means starting our bike rides to each school by 7:30. Here is how dark it was at 7:30 this morning. Soon the clocks go back an hour and it's going to be even darker, plus the fact that we get less light with each passing day. I think it's going to be pretty hard to get moving every day!

PJ Day for Emma

By looking at this picture, that was included in the preschool weekly newsletter, I think it's safe to say Emma enjoys school. She's the one in the blue pj's with her mouth open. (It was pj day at school.)

Dental Care

I thought I'd give you all a quick dental update.

A few weeks back I went in and met with the dentist. He took x-rays and did a quick look in my mouth. This took maybe 20 minutes. Then I had to schedule a time to meet with the hygienist. That appointment was today.

It's relatively the same as the states except they don't floss your teeth, they use this water thing. She told me the name but I don't remember. It shoots water and vibrates and gets all the plaque off. She equated it to the machine you drop your wedding ring in and it vibrates and cleans your ring.

The other difference was when I asked her when I needed to come back she said maybe 2 years! What?! She said that I would be called in a year to meet with the dentist again. (Here for appointments they don't ask what's good they just schedule it and send you a letter. If that time doesn't work you call and move it.) As long as he didn't feel like I needed any special attention to my teeth, I would see her in two years.

So either the US makes a killing off of seeing us every 6 months or their oral health here sucks!
