Finland : Last day

I hate leaving. There is the practical difficulty of gathering things that we've spent the last three weeks scattering around, packing and finding room for all the new things we've purchased, and the sadness that comes with leaving the place and people I love. 

We took the boat out. 

There was a final sausage roast and sauna. Penny loves ketchup and at some point will usually start eating it more as a main dish rather than condiment. Here she's collected a few extra plates and is going to town.

Henry drew a picture of the Moomin house in the cabin guestbook.

And lettuja.

Clothes

It's fun for me to see the kids wearing hand-me-downs. Helena has been wearing this shirt this spring.

It's the same one that Nora had on the day we brought Helena home from the hospital.

Penny's been wearing this romper that I bought in Finland that Nora wore all the time.

And this little green dress always makes me think of my short-haired Helena.
