Bye bye Auntie Sonie

We had to say goodbye to Aunt Sonja on Wednesday. After 3 months of having her around to read books to the kids; help with the dishes; have endless discussions with Ava about a variety of princess topics; and, most importantly, giggle with me about Swedish salads (iceberg anyone?), the ridiculous number of hair salons in Sweden, and the 80's fashion revival, it's a transition for us to be a family of 4 again. We miss her, but sort of understand that she has to go and start a life of her own in Seattle now that she is all grown up. I'm sure she'll miss getting whacked in the head by Julian with a board book every morning, but not as much as we'll miss her!
