Here comes FALL in EARLY September???

Hello Gang,
I know... I know... I have been rather remiss this month about my posting, but here I am yet again to fill you in on our Sweden adventures! So much has happened since our trip to Stockholm!   So off I go!
 We have since moved out of the hotel and are living in our apartment!  Thanks to some wonderful neighbors, who happen to not only work at the World Maritime University but are also moving here from TEXAS, we did have air mattresses for about a month!!!  Oh yes that was fun.  We did  survive and can happily say we have recieved our things from Florida this past week and are completely unpacked!  I knew moving here was going to take some time but I didn't realise we would be waiting nearly a full 3months for our belongings!!  We have never been so happy to see our things!  We have all been wearing the same clothes for 3 months so hopefully our pictures will soon reflect a more diverse wardrobe!

The kids have started school!!!  Here they are on their first day of school in Sweden!
 

Brooklyn and Zach are attending an IB school here in Malmo.  I really am impressed with their school outline, However, I miss RAYMA!  I will admit it will take some adjusting for the children!  You really see a huge difference in the culture when you are thrown into school but at least they all speak english and the kids are having a blast!  They are finding out that things here are a bit different!  They call their teachers by their first name ( swedish thing)!  I was shocked and have asked the children to at least address them with a Ms in front! Brooklyn's teacher is an American and tons of fun and Zachary's teacher is Canadian whom he really likes!  They are in what is classified as PYP4 and PYP3 levels so they think that is so cool b/c they are supposed to be in 2nd and 3rd grade back home! LOL  Just wait until we move back and they have to go back a number! LOL!
We had a fun outing last weekend with the University.  We had a family ride out to view the bridge.  It was about 18kilometers and we all had a great time.  Here are the kids at the viewing platform.

They slept well that night!

We have an exciting time going to the "BIG"  grocery store!  We are still walking everywhere.  Mostly b/c we can but also b/c although our car has arrived it has yet to be inspected and will most likely not be for another month!  We are on serious Swedish time here!  However,  it allows us extra time together as we journey along.  Here are some of the sights and activities on a typical BIG grocery trip.

Toting our cart to the store through the park! 

A little frisbee time on the way!

The local "yard men"!  These rams are outside the Malmo castle keeping things "beautified"!

Just this weekend we took a train ride to the city of Lund.  It is just north of Malmo about a 15 minute train ride.  We had a great time enjoying the sites and the day was gorgeous! Here are our out takes from Sunday.

Where in the world is Brooklyn???  This is an amazing church just off the square.

Parks Parks everywhere!

A beautiful girl at the Botanical Gardens in Lund!

Now I did mention something in the title about fall in early September!  I am not kidding!  Although the days are breathtaking right now the nights are downright chilly!  This morning when we woke it was 51 degrees!!  OH mamasita what am I going to do...Bundle UP...b/c the say in Malmo there is no bad weather just bad clothing! 

 We love you all and miss you so much!  Keep in touch via email!!  Hey Da (goodbye)  for now!
