This coming week is sportlov<\/i>, or winter sports holiday, in my part of Sweden. Not being winter people or<\/i> sporting people, really, we don’t generally put the free days to especially good use, I’m afraid. Tage has gone to the mountains with his cousins for a weekend of cross-country skiing and other wintry activities, but he’ll probably be the only one of us using the break for its intended purpose. We might, might<\/i>, take Tage and Petra up to the little ice rink one day for a bit of skating, and it’d be nice if Lydia got out to one or another of the slopes with her snowboard, but honestly, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for either thing to happen.<\/p>\n
I had hoped, earlier, that we’d be making a trip down to Stockholm during the break to get the kids’ American passports and citizenship registration sorted out, but I let time get away from me and haven’t gotten all the paperwork gathered up for that yet. I really need to get on that soon, though. We haven’t reported the births of any of our four younger kids yet, and Tage will be nine in just a few months. Nothing like putting things off, I guess. At least we can get it all taken care of in one trip, but I cringe to think what chaos — what expensive<\/i> chaos — that trip will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
