Brynja doesn’t have a day on the official Swedish name day calendar, but I’ve claimed August 16 for her, seeing as the name of the day — Brynolf — is built, in part, on the word brynja. Per name-day tradition here at our house, we had cupcakes and made a little extra fuss.
After dinner we went to Petra’s soccer practice, where Brynja frolicked like nobody’s business in the fresh air and sunlight. If there’s any justice in the world, she’ll sleep well tonight.

That is just the epitome of what summer looks like! Sweaty red face, messy hair, bandaids, temporary tattoos, shorts, barefeet and a smile!! Love it!
What a cutie! That is pure joy on her face!
