Making room for all

Since we now have all children living with us we decided that we need permanent beds for all the children. We needed to replace the cot and went to IKEA and got a bunkbed for L and H since they like to share a room. We are looking for a high bed for I that [...]

We won

Krisje reports that the previous verdict has been turned around completely in the appeal. The kids will live with us and we will can now start living our lives in the weekends again. I have been looking at reorganizing the rooms so that Lukas gets his own space and isn’t living in someone elses room. [...]

To eat

There is always something that doesn’t work completely smooth with children. Some don’t like to go on the potty, some don’t sleep, some don’t listen and some don’t eat. My son is not very big on eating and will rather go hungry than eat himeself. Making it a fun experience is a method that most [...]

A herd of children

I sometimes ask myself what constitutes a herd but the dictionary tells me it’s a large group. Large is quite subjective so I think three is enough to feel like a herd of children. Add another child or two and it has to be enough. Due to illness I’ve been home the last two days [...]

Situation update 20-02

Horrible Ryan in the morning and vaccinations

I am going to fetch Lukas this weekend and help a little with one or two technical issues that need sorting. The fight up in on Saturday afternoon and puts me on Arlanda at dinner so catching a train shouldn’t be a problem but getting back will be with Ryanair on monday morning at 6.40 [...]

Remote access and cell phones

With the renewal of my GSM contract I got a Slingbox and could use Orb to access my TV and things on the move. After half a month of use I am starting to get comfortable and to my surprise it feels like this is just the service I was looking for. The only thing [...]

Remote access via Orb

I have been using my computer remotely via Orb lately since it gives me access to documents, pictures, music and other stuff on my home computer. The theory is that you have a portal page that your home computer connects to. It removes the need to open ports in your firewall, running remote desktop and [...]
