Sweden Celebrations (12 months)
We spent the last two weeks in Sweden (and 3 days in Paris), where we celebrated weddings, birthdays, graduations, sun rays, and anniversaries.
Swedish Pride on Graduation Day
Mom's cousin Joakim gave up a well deserved break from his kids and put us up during our stay in Sweden. Thank you SOOOOO much Joakim. But just before his kids Jesper and Simon left for summer vacation they rode in Joakim's custom VW bug to their school's graduation day.
Anniversary Hotdog
June 13th is Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. We thought it was appropriate to celebrate our anniversary by going back to the exact same Hotdog Stand where Dad asked Grandpa John for Mom's hand in marriage.
Myles 1st Year Birthday
June 14th is Myles' birthday, and even though we will be having a full birthday party at our house on July 13th we still had a small celebration in Sweden on his actual birthday. Hard to believe its been a full year since he was born!

Wedding
Saturday was the day of the main event: Mikael and Joyahanna's wedding. A grand time was had by all.

Paris
The day after the wedding Mom and Dad flew off to Paris for a few days, while Myles stayed in Sweden with the Christol Clan. During the days Dad attended some work meetings and Mom toured the city. They meet up in the evenings for $30 dollar hamburgers. Seriously, Paris is expensive.
Standing Up, Unassisted
Our second week in Sweden saw Myles learn how to stand up from a sitting position completely unassisted without even using inanimate objects for support. With a week of practice under his belt his is now a pro at standing up and walking to anything he so desires. Watch out world, here comes Myles Stanton Miller!
Midsummer
The Friday closest to June 21st is Sweden's "Midsummer Celebration Day". The entire country has the day off work to celebrate the longest day of the year and worship the sun. Every town across the country decorates a "May Pole" and much dancing and celebration is had.
Home Sweet Home
Early the next morning while the rest of Sweden country slept, we flew back home. After traveling for nearly 24 hours we finally made it home and were happy to sleep in our own bed (with brand new sheets courtesy of GrandP's Miller, who stayed in our house while we were gone).
