The long wait is over .. Battlefield 3 is finally here, and I got it! 
Dad had made a pre-order for two copies of BF3 Limited Edition. Of course he claims he needs to play these games to better understand what I’m doing, and to keep up with me. I personally think he’s doing it because he enjoys to play them almost as much as I do Anyway .. awesome awesomer awesomest .. perhaps not the most correct conjugation in the world, but hey .. you get the picture!
Clear a path, I’m going in!
As is common around here, this weekend has so far been very busy, but in a good way. On friday, Filip went to Melinda’s birthday party. It was a huge success, but a bit tiring for Filip since “he was chased by all the girls”. Today, Alexander’s team had (as usual) two football matches. They lost the first one and won the second one. After the game, we chilled for a while, and then went for a coffee-and-cake-break at Kafé Russin with Dad. We stayed out for several hours, going to the parks and fooling around in general. Right now, we’re chilling with Mom and having some candy. Tomorrow, Alexander has another football game. Rumors has it we’ll be having Tacos for dinner tomorrow, yay!
So, having hit fifth grade and having been nagging to Dad about it for the past six months, I guess it was about time. Starting today, I will try to get my hands dirty with my very own WordPress site: HoBo101.wordpress.com. I’ll play with uploading pictures, adding posts, and what not. Dad also showed me how to add new entries via my SmartPhone, which was kind of cool. Of course, now I actually have to write stuff there too
Today was the first day with just us and Dad these Summer Holidays; needless to say we spent a lot of time down by the water. Swimming, jumping, filming (with the GoPro), and having a blast in general.
There’s a pile of rocks some 50-75m out in the water that Alexander wants to swim out to. Dad told him it was OK only if we did some practice runs in more shallow water. So Alexander practiced like a madman (!); he did eleven laps of 25m for a total of 275m. Not bad at all.
Filip continued to improve on his swimming, both on and below the surface. We spent a total of four hours by the water. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it, right?

And it wasn’t even my birthday… in fact, it was the day before Filip’s birthday. We had some visitors (Tanya, Dan, Victor, Oscar, and Aunt Yvonne) to celebrate Filip’s birthday. They were here for one day, so we decided to do all the celebrations. After Filip was presented with his birthday present, Mom and Dad pulled out a “Rabbit” out of their hat for me. It’s so nice to finally have a “smartphone” that works properly and that doesn’t produce serious lag when playing things like Angry Birds
Bye bye HTC Wildfire, and hello Samsung Galaxy Ace!
It’s a done deal; our formal vacation is on and we’ve had our first archipelago bath of the season – whoa!
Yesterday we finally picked up our Miniature Lop (“Dvärgvädur”). We named him Bowie already at the store! There were a zillion things we had to get for Bowie. One cage for the apartment, one for the cottage, and a heap of other things. He was actually a little bit too young to take home, but the store owner wasn’t there, so no one could ask him if it was ok or not. We’ll see how it goes He has, of course, his own photo album, you can find it here: album.homrighausen.se/Family/pets/bowie/.
Aaaahh… the Summer Holidays 2011 are here!
Let the fun begin!
Ice Cream. Sunshine. Swimming. Playing. Laughing. Archipelago. Parties. Friends. Football Camp.
Lazy Days!
It doesn’t get much better!
This last weekend we finally got a long weekend at the cottage; there were no football matches, no birthday parties, and no other scheduled activities. Whoa! We were very fortunate with the weather and spent a lot of time playing with water balloons. Dad and Alexander played several games of Pentago, something which they both enjoy a lot.
