On My Way

Hi Guys. Sorry I have been remiss. I have just been swamped at work and in getting ready to leave. I leave in the morning. Can't wait. I thought I would enjoy this temporary bachelorhood but the truth is I just miss my family. Every day I come home and the house is empty. Oscar's toys are about and I can't not look at all the family pictures and I start to get sad. Not that I took it for granted but I now know how much I enjoy coming home to Oscar and Lena every day. We are almost there though and while it was obviously not an ideal situation, we had to do what we had to do. Lena is doing well and Oscar is doing great. He loves his school and has really learned a lot. He is quite a talker. Of course, he only speaks Swedish. I am going to have to learn more if I want to communicate with him at all though once we get back to the States, I am sure that will change. We have a great girl that has been helping us out a lot too. It is one of our best friend's sisters and she is so cute. She just adores Oscar. Work is going great. We actually might have gotten Citigroup as a client- the biggest bank in the world. Not bad for a little shop like ours. We also appeared in Crain's today and were in the Sun Times last week. I have been doing a lot of work around the house. We painted some rooms and rearranged the kids room. Boy, Lucille, I sure could use you. I will contact everyone as soon as we have any news. As it stands now, we check in for delivery on Tuesday and will probably be in the hospital until Thursday or Friday. I will stay another week after that and return on Memorial Day. Then it is back to Chicago for 3 weeks by myself. Then, I go back for Midsommar and another week at the island we went to after our wedding which is my favorite place to go now. It is like Nantucket in the old days. No cars are allowed. We will be there for the Volvo Cup (one of the greatest sailing races in the world each year) as well as a concert that Pella and his band are doing. It should be great but that is a long ways away. We have much to do before then. I love you all. XOXO. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms here.
