Hello mom!
Today morning one of us left, but in the afternoon we got more company again because a new toy arrived.
Totoro. left here today. He goes to USA to his new host.
We said goodbye to him, and wished a safe and confortable journey.
And then the new toy Cody Otter beaver arrived here. He told very interesting stories about his travels. He has a travel memories notebook with him, and he showed it to us. It was nice!
Love,
Lina

Hey mommy!
Guess what? I ate together with Kurnau something really Finnish thing: karjalanpiirakka (a Karelian pie).
Kurnau told, that nowadays in the most familiar and common recipe is to make Karelian pies from a thin rye crust with a filling of rice. Butter, often mixed with boiled egg (egg butter or munavoi), is spread over the hot pies before eating.
And mommy, I have to say: These are good!!! You really should try these some day!
After eating the hole Karelian pie, Kurnau asked if I would like to have a tea party.
So, Kurnau invited all others to come to drink some tea.
And we had a great tea party! We talked, and laughed to each other. It was really nice way to spend the afternoon.
Mommy, just take a look at the pictures, and you will see how much fun time we all had.
Love,
Lina

Hello mommy!
Today three ToyVoyagers left. BarryO went back to his home in USA, Suomi-boy started his very first journey and he is travelling to USA together with BarryO, and the third toy who left here was Suomi-girl who is travelling to Germany.
I hope they have a safe journey, and they arrive soon to their destinations.
Love,

Hello mommy!
Finally it has stopped raining outside, and I could go to little walk there.
Mom, can you see the white house in the backround?
It's the house where Kurnau and hostmom mmm105 are living.
And there's me, too, living while my visit here.
Look what I found! So many raindrops!!!
A group photo of us
This is one of the many buildings in Jyväskylä, which has designed a World-famous architect Alvar Aalto. More info about him you can find for example here. A small interesting detail I want to share with you: Jyväskylä is the city where are more buildings designed by Alvar Aalto than in any other country!!!
Very near was a playground. And offcourse we went there!
Mommy, look! I think I'm the very first little sheep who has sitting on the bird's head!
Then little bit swinging...
...and then sliding!
wiihiiiii!
And then (offcourse) all together!
WIIHIIIII!!!!
It was fun! So FUN!
Look how happy I am!!!
On the way back inside, I climbed in the tree.
Can you see me?
And if you are wondering what the light in the backround is, I can tell you it's the sun. Yes, it has started to set down already.
And mommy!!! Watch VERY carefully the grass! There's a real wild rabbit there!
Others who were there wanted to come to sit in the tree, too.
It was such a nice day!
Love,
Lina

Hello!
I had such an exiting day today. Hostmom took me and other toys with her and went to drive a car. And guess where we went? We went to visit hostmom's friend. Yes, we all were there.
There was a Tupperware home party there. Do you know Tupperware? I think it's popular in many countries. They have good quality things to use in every-day-life.
I met many nice other people there, and we made some smoothies (and drank them) and some croissants, too (and offcourse we ate them, too).
It was nice!
Love,
Lina

Hi mommy!
Today Kurnau showed me really great thing. We went to see the monitoimitalo (it's like a sport center), and especially the pictures in the wall of that building.
They are so cool!!! Look, there's human pictures doing different sports!
Kurnau teached me some Finnish words about sport.
paini = wrestling
tanssi = dancing
lentopallo = volleyball
painonnosto = weight-lifting
voimistelu = gymnastics
jalkapallo = football
juoksu = running
Love,
Lina
