We knew we had made a bit of a scheduling error when Patrik picked up the phone tonight to hear his mom say hello. It took a bit longer before we realized what had happened, and Patrik asked if she was calling from the air. Nope. They were in Vancouver, waiting for us at the airport. We thought they were coming tomorrow! We threw ourselves in the car to pick them up and felt oh so bad that we hadn't been there to meet them... But the good news is that we get a whole extra day with them overall.
Patrik's momma had a little old sewing machine that she got for her 5th birthday, in the 1920s. She had always said that she wanted to pass it on to her first great granddaughter, which turned out to be Anna. Momma died last Christmas eve, and so Anna and she never got to meet each other, but Solweig brought that sewing machine with her and gave it to Anna tonight. We will make sure she knows who she got it from...
And finally, happy names day to uncle Daniel :)
