Our Last day

It is inconceivable that the week has flown by the way it has.  Such a fabulous time.  My brother Bob said it best when he said that the best time of all was meeting the family:

Krister, Sofia and Ulrika : Thomas, Anna and Tobias : Johan, Tove, Nils and the 2 baby girls and of course – Sven-Eric.

Today we visited Sofia’s home – a flat in Stockholm.

These are photos of Sofia’s flat – it is in an old building that is new on the inside.

Sofia had a birthday cake for my mom. We all sang Happy Birthday.  First in English and then in Swedish.
