And today is Rebecka's birthday - she is 2, and she is in Kingston, Ontario, so I won't even get to say happy birthday in person.

Grattis på födelsedagen, Becka.

Happy Birthday, U!

I've been looking at old photos this morning. By "old" I don't mean properly old -- I mean photos that were taken 13 years ago or later. I have lots of Miranda pictures. Miranda age 10 months or so at her cousin's baptism, for instance. Miranda age 2-ish, with me and her older cousin Adrian (who would be about 4, then). Miranda age 3, probably, at Walpurgis. Miranda age 4, walking in front of Johan and me up the aisle as we were getting married. Miranda age 5, perhaps, bouncing like mad on a trampoline. And a very small Miranda asleep on the floor, two fingers in her mouth.
I don't have a lot of recent ones that are easily available. But here is Miranda age 12 - this last Christmas. She is growing from cute to beautiful (I'm an aunt, I'm allowed to say such things. Besides, it's true.)

She's 13 today. Happy Birthday, Miranda.

Stina gave birth to a son two days ago :-) :-)


Added: Here is a picture. He will have to practice a bit before going to his first hard rock concert. (Vital statistics: 49 cm, 2900 g, and everybody involved is doing just fine.)

Am old. Have received many cool and interesting things; for instance some really nice hand-made chocolate and The Merlin Conspiracy by D W Jones, from Johan, Hy Brasil by M Elphinstone, from Kicki, Not the End of the World, by K Atkinson, from CdM, and a cuddly bathrobe from my aunts. Oaktree sent me ButtonMen and my parents gave me a very nice picture.

And from Miranda, I got Olof!
