Friends from China

We went to see Bosse, Annelie and their daughter Wilma yesterday. Wilma (Lu-Lu) and Vera-Mei (Fan-Fan) were friends at the orphanage and we got the girls on the same day (along with seven other families). They live outside Falkenberg, not too far away from Varberg.
It was so nice to see them again. We spend the whole morning there, and Olivia and Vera said hello to the horses, hens, the dog and a cat. Olivia was thrilled and she wanted to go back today again.

Wilma calls Vera Fan-Fan, so they obviously know each other, but there was no special reaction when they met again. Well, it's important too meet anyway!
Wilma is a lovely little girl and she seems to have settled amazingly well in her new home. It is easier to notice the changes when you don't see the person every day, I guess.

Spring is here now, and the trees are getting green.
I love the wood anemones, and the girls enjoyed picking them.

In the afternoon when we were back in Varberg, the sun broke through and we went to the beach. The girls wanted to try the water. I thought it would be too cold for them to find it nice, but they both wanted to take a bath.

I said no, of course, I had no towel and it still is very cold, but they did their best to make themselves wet anyway.
Geggamoja!
Vera-Mei enjoyed herself so much she couldn't stop laughing. Until her mean mother told her to step out of the water after a while, of course.
The game continued for two hours while the trousers dried in the sun.
Okay, summer, come on, we're ready!

Today has also been a lovely day. We went to the driving range with Douglas in the morning, and after lunch and playing in the garden we went to the local hospital for Vera's lung x-ray - a part of the adopted childrens special check up. Tomorrow is the follow up with the doctor, by the way. I assume everything is fine, they would have called earlier otherwise, wouldn't they?
We then went to see the girls' granddad, my pappa Lasse. You can set the clock by watching him, because he always goes to the pub Harry's at 5 pm sharp - a very trustable routine. At the moment he's only having water - doctor's order, but he is counting the days and the restrictions will stop on the 2nd of May. The girls had fish fingers and chips (happy days for Olivia) for dinner there and they are now both fast asleep.
Tomorrow we are going to the summer house to prepare it for the summer and the guests who will rent it. Doctor's appointment is in the afternoon and in the evening Granny returns from her four days course in Malmö. On Friday Mats comes back and on Saturday - to Sevenoaks! It will be so nice to come home, but I am afraid I have got a little bit too used to the beach and the sea. Luckily, we will soon be home for holiday.
