God morgon!! Hur mar ni? Traden utanfor vara fonster har nu blommat ut. Harligt! Det blir jag glad over. Varen ger mig sa mycket gladje och inspiration. Och var lagenhet ger oss valdigt mycket ljus vilket jag som svensk (eller som New Yorkare) verkligen uppskattar. Var forra lagenhet i Midtown hade ju fonster ut mot en tegelvagg och det ar inte ovanligt har i NY. I Sverige har vi ju ett halvar av konstant morker. Sa den har lagenheten ar underbar.
Forresten, sa har vi nu bott i var lagenhet i ett ar. Wow, vad tiden gar fort. Vi flyttade in den 16 April 2013. Jag verkligen alskar varat hem och har kommer vi formodligen att stanna fram till den dagen da vi flyttar fran New York. Vi bor i en liten bubbla har pa Manhattan. Att hora faglar som kvittrar pa morgonen ar ovanligt har i city. Har nere ar det lugnt och skont. Det beror pa att det i princip bara bor familjer har och vi har en mysig park utanfor. Vi har ju inga barn (och planerar inga heller), men det ar anda skont att kunna ga runt och njuta av en lugnare miljo aven om man bor pa Manhattan i New York City. 

Good morning!! How are you? The trees outside our windows is now blooming. Wonderful! That makes me happy. The spring gives me so much joy and inspiration. And our apartment gives us a lot of light which me as Swedish (or as a New Yorker) really appreciate. Our old apartment in Midtown had the windows towards a brick wall and that is not unusual here in NY. In Sweden we have a half year of constant darkness. So, this apartment is wonderful!
By the way, we have now lived in this apartment for a year. Wow, time flies. We moved in April 16, 2013. I really love our home and we will probably stay here until the day when we move away from New York. We live in a little bubble here on Manhattan. To hear birds singing in the morning i rare here in the city. Down here it’s nice and quite. It’s because of that it mostly lives families here and we have the cozy park outside. We don’t have children (and not planning on it either), but it is still nice to walk around and enjoy the more peaceful environment even if you live on Manhattan in New York City.

Jag fick lite varkanslor igar efter allt gult jag hade hemma for paskfirandet. Gult ar en favoritfarg varje var. Aven att ha fina blommor hemma ar extra mysigt. 
Efter allt godis-atande langtar jag tills nasta manad da jag och Jim ska spendera en vecka i underbara Stockholm. Det ar en stad som ar fantastisk pa varen. Uteserveringar och trevliga promenader. Langtar inte sa mycket efter Sverige egentligen, men Stockholm ar speciellt for mig. Underbart att jag ska fa traffa min familj ocksa. Kommer grata floder over att jag inte far traffa min alskade syster, men jag ar sa glad over hennes nasta steg i livet. Vi pratade pa skype idag och oj vad jag saknar henne! Lilla strumpan!
Jim har varit i Boston hela dagen. Hard arbetsdag nar man far flyga till en annan stad och kolla pa baseboll pa arbetstid:) Roligt for honom att gora lite annat an att bara sitta pa kontoret hela dagarna. Men nu saknar jag honom massor och langtar tills han kommer hem!

I got some spring feeling after all the yellow I had at home for our Easter celebration. Yellow is a favorite color every spring. Also to have pretty flowers at home makes it extra cozy.
After all the candy-eating I’m really looking forward to next month when me and Jim will spend a week in Stockholm. It’s a wonderful city during spring. Outdoor seating and nice walks. Not looking forward to go to Sweden specially much, but Stockholm is special to me. Wonderful to see my family too. I will cry a river cause of that I will not see my dear sister, but I’m so happy for her next step in life. We talked on skype today and oh I miss her! Little strumpan (means: a sock, but that sounds weird in English haha). 
Jim has been in Boston all day. Hard workday when you get to fly to another city to watch baseball during workhours:) Fun for him to do some other things than just sit at the office all day long. But now I miss him and looking forward to when he comes home!

Igar hade jag som sagt tjejerna over for lite Paskfirande. Jag sag ut som en kanin och valkomnade alla med mimosas. Valdigt trevligt och mycket godsaker.
Yesterday I had, like I said, the girls over for some Easter celebration. I looked like a bunny and welcomed everyone with mimosas. Very nice and a lot of tasty stuff.

Idag har jag haft tjejerna over for en sen Pask brunch. Sa mycket godis och mat. Valdigt mysigt. Uppdaterar mer imorgon. Nu ska jag umgas med min man.

Today I had the girls over for a late Easter brunch. So much candy and food. Very cozy. Update more tomorrow. Now I’m gonna spend time with my husband.

Took the girls up to the roof

Efter vi lamnat baseball stadion i Philadelphia tog vi taxi till tagstation. Mycket folk pa taget och det fanns nastan inga platser. Val framme beslutade vi oss for att aka hem. Var hemma i 20 min for att frascha upp oss och sedan ivag igen. 
Tillsammans med nagon som Jim jobbar med och hans fru at vi god sushi pa en restaurang i Midtown. Sedan var det dags for basket pa Madison Sq Garden. 

New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls. Wow, vilka platser vi hade! Jag kunde lixom ta pa spelarna om jag ville nar de gick till omkladningsrummet efter forsta halvan och pa slutet. Chicago gjorde inte sa bra ifran sig och de forlorade. Men sa roligt att antligen fa se dem live. Joakim Noah, min favorit, ar ju en sjukt rolig figur, haha. Han ar som ett vuxet barn.

Nar jag var liten gillade jag, precis som alla andra i varlden, Michael Jordan. Jim tror att det ar for den dar cartoon filmen som han var med i, men nej, jag gillade Jordan innan det och nej, jag gillade inte filmen sarskilt mycket. Att jag sen i vuxen alder kan se det team som han spelade i och det lag som jag satt framfor tv’n och kollade pa som barn, det hade jag aldrig kunnat tro. 

After we left the baseball stadium in Philadelphia, we took the taxi to the train station. A lot of people on the train and barely any seats. Back in the city we decided to go home. We were home for 20 min to freshen up and then out again. 
Together with someone that Jim works with and his wife we had great sushi at a restaurant in Midtown. Then time for basketball at Madison Sq Garden.
New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls. Wow, great seats! I actually could touch the players if I wanted to when then went to the dressingroom. Chicago didn’t do so good and they lost. But fun to finally see them live. Joakim Noah, my favorite, is just such a funny character, haha. He’s like a grownup kid.
When I was young I liked, like everyone else in the world, Michael Jordan. Jim thinks it’s because of that cartoon movie that he was in, but no, I liked him before that and no, I didn’t really like the movie very much. And as an adult to be able to see the team he played with and the team that I sat in front of the tv and watched as a kid, that, I never thought would happen.
