Welcome to our blogg.

We thought this would be a nice way to keep our friends and family updated about what we are up to! And for us to have some kind of diary, to save for the future when we move back home to Sweden. We choose to write in English so all our friend could read it=) (and it's also good practice for me)

About us

Dubai
We are a family of four, and one dog and six guinea pigs (and one cat that lives in Blentarp, Sweden) We moved to Dubai a year ago, Henrik is working here and Ingela is a housewife and both children are in school. Victoria is 7 years old and Cornelia is 5 years old. They are in grade 1 and 2. When they started school here, Victoria just started school in Sweden and didn't speak any English and Cornelia where still in kindergarten in Sweden and didn't speak any English either. Now a year later they speak English and writes and read English as well. They also learn Arabic in school. After some difficulties it seams like they enjoy school and our life here, and that feels very good. If they like it here it's easier for us to also relax and enjoy our stay here in Dubai. And now we have one more member of our family, a streetcat named Stripy, Findus, Nisse, Tiger and Findus=), and also one more guinea pig has died, so 5 guinea pigs left.

Enja van het wantishof 28/8-2005 -- 1/2-2011




A beautiful doberman girl who we had the pleasure to know for 5 1/2 years. She just died a couple of weeks ago, leaving a big empty space. She was my companion during the days and we have been walking many miles together and running also.
Nothing is the same here without her and everything feels just empty. 
I will miss her so much, she was always friendly and happy, too happy sometimes and to eager also sometimes=), but always positive, always willing to do something with us.

Miss you a lot Enja!!
