It has been a long while since we did any posts. Hopefully we can start again. Here is a short clip of some family time in a cabin in hedesunda in 2011. Enjoy!
Hello friends! We are back from holiday! We hope you all are doing good!
It has been a good time these last months. In our last post we told you about Fireslam, the first offical event of the House. Jeff Garvin joined us from Canada and we got to enjoy “The Sauce” of Daddy and see many miricales take place. You can read more about that report here. Really cool stuff! To see Jeffs own video click here:
The spring and summer season has been a time where we have gotten to know the different people at The House and grown closer to a many here. We celebrated midsummer with a big party at our home and devoured some fresh mustard herrings & potatoes, a real swedish tradition. Since our arrival here Mikas has also been able to spend much more time with her grandparents and she loves it. They have been a tremendous help & blessing to us, given me and Linda opportunites to have some time to our selves now and then.
Scisso is the her Grandparents dog and has become a good friends. She usually lays down next to him in his sleeping place and hangs out when staying there.
This summer I ( Bas) had a opportunity to work some for Jerusalem which as fun. A bunch of graphic designs and a short commerical was made. We toured with them to a couple of places here in Sweden and helped out with the merchandize, selling t-shirts and CDs, getting to know them better. Most of the summer we have been working though and have had regular routines with our family. I now work at Avero AB, a company that sells trampolines & private workout machines. In the beginning of the summer I was working with client calls but as the season went on I had the opportunity to start doing much more of their graphic design and filming. All of it resulted in that I now am working fulltime there to be responsable for their graphic design and media needs. Really fun and really challengeing. There is big area to effect and bring about some good change. Check out my workblog for updates on the creative stuff.
Our only holiday was in Öland this year, one week total.Öland a long island on the east coast of sweden. We togehter with 30 families and other from The House went and had good times. 2 days sun, 2 days rain and the rest cloudy… I let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy and stay tuned!

Today is the 1st of May…big holiday here in viking country where summertime is launched by burning huge bond fires and singing songs! We haven’t done much today, just chilling with my two babes in kid- playland & in mikas room with the legos. Linda has left me for a dance performance tonight and is hanging out with her girls. Looking forward to mika sleeping and me diving into some some editing on a short film we’re doing with the house! Have a good weekend! – Bas

Hello Friends and family!
It’s time for an update on our family. Much has happend since we posted last. First a miracle, Jeroen and Sandhya are alive! YES! After waiting forever for a new post on their blog they finally posted a small stupid video and we can finally stop worrying about them. Love you guys!
A couple of weeks ago we had a nice visit from one of our good friends Tomas who we know previously from Stockholm. He came and hung out a couple of days with me while Linda was in Stockholm meeting friends and spending ALL our money 
Good times
Also I have gotten a new job! YES! After over a year without one it was a much needed change for me. They are called Avero AB and sell trampolines, pedal cars and exercise equipment. So this summer I’m gonna become a trampoline expert. Who would have thought? Me starting to work fulltime has brought Linda to be home more with Mika than previously. She is enjoining it though she really wants to have more work in the long run. As some of you know she had applied for a really good job at Bilda and got to go for an interview. Unfortunately the job was passed on to someone else.
3 days ago we had our first outdoor barbeque with the neighbors and enjoyed some really nice weather. Jurgen, the man in the family loves to try new things and threw a gasoline bomb into our grill ( see pics) The fire was all over. He later helped us out with some special EFX in a movie shoot. Good stuff Jurgen.
Mika is talking alot now and we are hearing new words all the time. Here are some: Pan-ki ( Pancakes) To-ki (Crasy) loo-li ( funny) Bebi ( baby doll) glausher (sunglasses) are just some. For all you mika fans we hope to post some more videos of her soon again.
I (Bas) just spent 3 days shooting a short film for The House. We are soon hosting “The Fire Slam”, a gathering of people since we have a guest on visit, Jeff Garvin from USA. Together with Alle, one of the leaders, we wrote a short story and with a gang of people we were in the forest for two days filming. Sun has finally hit Lindome more than one occasion and we are looking forward to warmer weather and for the new season that is awaiting us.
Much Love to you
Bas, Linda & Mika

Mika hanging out with her good friend bah-bitch ( her word for baby) in her new palace. When we finished her room she ran in and started screaming and pointing to the walls and cozy teddy bears on the shelf Linda had painted for two days. Hey, if we are Kings and Queens in the Kingdom, she is defently a princess!

>Finally Mikas room is finished! We want to thank our neighbour Jurgen for scraping wallpaper to 3 in the morning, our landlords Anna & lars for paying the material and Kenneth, Lindas dad for all the hard work and lending of tools. Love ya!

last week we renovated Mikas room. We have been working on it for 1 month now, scraping wallpapper, 4 layers, paint and other stuff. it has really been Lindas project as she has had a vision of a “princess” room. I guess it’s every mothers dream is to give her daughter a castle of her own.
