Welcome Astrid!

A little more than a week after her scheduled due date Astrid Dewi Hedvig Fransson finally arrived early Friday morning, 12.55am.

She was 7.2 lbs and 19.5" (3,2kg and 49,5cm) and is of course beautiful:-)


We also wish to welcome Astrid's cousin, Gianella. She arrived a few days early. Just as beautiful and with just as proud and happy parents, Jason and Inu.

Short City Tour and a Baby Shower...

We had visitors from Chicago over the weekend and a Baby Shower to attend so on the way to Petaluma for Inu's Baby Shower we took Debby & Brad for a superfast San Francisco guide tour.



Next stop Petaluma! Lots of yummy Indonesian food waiting for us:-)

Noah's party...

Last Sunday Noah celebrated his third birthday and invited us for some beers and tacos in the park outside the apartment where he stays with his parents and little sister. We had a great time and I think he had to with all the new toys:-)



Thanks!

BTW...don't miss the new Gallery under "Photos" in the menu on the left. Some new public albums there.

Baby Shower...sort of

Last weekend we invited friends and family over for a lunch "Indonesian Style" / baby shower. A real baby shower would be a girls only event but we decided to break with the "tradition" and have the guys over for some beer and Maiko's "strong lemonade":-)



Thanks everyone for all the nice gifts! I think we have all the stuff now...just waiting for Astrid:-)

Miss Piggy Tour...

For a little more than 3 weeks in June - July we had the pleasure of having my sister and her family with us here in California. I think it was a welcome break from the rainy weather back home in Sweden;-)

The Miss Piggy Tour lasted for 6 days and took us 2000 miles via Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles and back to Palo Alto and there is of course story to tell...

Last year Eva found out that Göran has family in Palo Alto (it's a small world). We of course visited "Lindy" (Barbara) who lives about a mile from us. At her house we saw Miss Piggy and Lindy told us that she is being passed around like a hot potato in her family since many years. Whenever you had visitors, Miss Piggy might be hiding somewhere..."left behind";-) We asked if we could take Miss Piggy with us on our roadtrip. We just might stop by Lindy's daughter in Santa Barbara...

There are of course more pictures from their vacation. Look under Photos > 2007 > Summer in the menu on the left.

Enjoy!
