Helsinki

We recently traveled to Helsinki, Finland. It was super cold with snow and ice everywhere! This picture was taken from the Suomenlinna Island Fort off the coast of Helsinki. The sea was frozen solid except for a narrow path that is used frequently by the ferry's. Odin enjoyed the company of many friendly folks we visited. Here he is with Miaja.
We are back now in Umeå and as usual, Odin is playing with many of his Swedish friends. Cornelia came over to visit and Odin was super excited to see her. So excited he tried to kiss and hug her...she wasn't so sure she wanted so much attention!
Odin has great balance! Papa says he gets it from him. He has no troubles climbing up on the rocking horse and staying up without holiding on while it rocks, but mom wasn't comfortable snapping the picture until he grabbed the bookshelf.
