Yesterday we went cottage hunting. We found a wonderful "torp" built in 1894, charmingly renovated in original style. Rent: only 600 kronor (65€) per week!!
Though beautifully bathed in morning sun, in the evening the moskitoes come out to play... Very unfortunate for us later-in-the-day-people. Also, the closest lake was some way away.
On our way home, we stopped for a little picnic and toe-dip. Our little mushroom (pieni sieni, in Finnish - Mom: grammatically correct?) loved it!!! And so did we.

Stella and her new mobile
These were taken yesterday at Stella's "mobile hanging ceremony".
The mobile was made by aunties Kasia, Gabi, Rogéria, Cris and me (Gabi's initiative!), back in November, before we even new what kind of news our Good News would be...
Also present - with her warm arms - was Cris' mother Ana Luisa, visiting from Rio!
As you can see, the mobile is extremely well appreciated!! ST is just enchanted! Thanks to the "Madrinhas Mobilares"!!!
