Doesn't get any better than this

[insert contented sigh] Right now I'm sitting and eating exactly what I used to eat in Sweden everyday for 1.5 years: thinly-sliced mild sourdough rye bread topped with butter, prast cheese, thin cucumber slices, and thin tomato slices. I'm in heaven. Thank you, only-30-minute-away Ikea. The only thing missing is this seasoning salt that we ate sprinkled on top and I have no idea how I would locate it. Boozie also loved Ikea and learned a new word while we were there, kaka, which means cookie. I bought some Anna's pepparkakor and Boozie really wanted some and learned to ask for them.

It is warm and sunny outside and as soon as Boozie wakes up, we're going swimming. We had a fabulous past weekend and are already planning our next weekend trip for this weekend: H&M and the beach. We are definitely loving living here, in case it wasn't obvious.

Boozie has been amazing us with all the words he picks up. He loves to repeat us; he's our little parrot. He now has even included some English words in the mix:
-klocka (clock/watch)
-kaka (cookie)
-buh-bye
-um
-so
-no

And a few pics from our fab weekend in the City:

We thought a carousel ride in Central Park was a good idea. Boozie thought otherwise.
