plus one

So, mid-August is upon us. Richard is back at work (no students yet, but soon), and I am back in the classroom taking the one mandatory course I am required to complete in order to receive my degree from Uppsala Universitet. And there has been no blogging since June! Terrible. Yep, things have been busy the last month or two, and are (in another sort of a way) busy again now – but things are well and we shall work hard to catch up here.

I am currently commuting back and forth to Uppsala and have vowed to try and get in some regular posting during the 2+ hours of train riding each day ... it will depend a bit on the wifi connection, but hopefully I can bring things a bit more up to date before we get too far into the next round of adventures!

However ...before I delve into any summer pics, I have far more important news to share ... on Sunday Richard's sister had a little girl --

Clara Ocean Solaris Jackson

mum and bubs

the Jackson four (plus truck, I hear Kieran was a tad more into the truck than the little sister!)

There are definitely some things that make living abroad a bit tougher. Not being there to see our neice in her early days is certainly one of them. I suppose we shall simply have to make up for it by spoiling her rotten down the road a few months when we do get to see her! Still ...

If you see our niece, please give her a tiny squeeze from her uncle leroy and auntie jennie.
