The thing about having to go between two countries, is that here are plenty of friends and family that you don’t get to see but every few years. People that I grew up with and love immensely. That is something I had to give up with moving here, but I’m thankful to get to spend the little bit of time that I can with people when we do manage to make it to the US.
During our trip in June we were able to visit with friends and family, as I’ve shared other pictures before (on the other blog), but here are the last of those pictures.
One set of pictures with my friend Irene and her son, Jason. (Irene wouldn’t let me take any pictures of her.) *sigh* 
Irene and I grew up together and were best friends during high school. She is a fantastic person and I miss her a lot! Her son Jason is crazy and a talker. ) He and Fredrik had a lot of fun together while Irene and I were about to talk. And the grass in the pictures.. American grass.. REAL grass. None of this hard, crunchy, mossy grass that we have here in Sweden. But REAL, soft, GREEN grass. It made me miss American summers!
Here is a set of pictures with Leia getting to meet her Aunt Melissa and boyfriend Dustin and her cousin Amanda. (Leia only got to meet cousin Amanda, her other cousins, Josh and Craig, were unable to make a trip to come see us.) Leia also was able to meet Amanda’s daughters, Hailey and Savannah.
Aunt Melissa bought Leia her first ice cream from an American ice cream truck.
Which Leia thoroughly enjoyed.
It is always sad saying goodbye, especially because you don’t know when we’ll ever see each other again – if we ever do.
