Week 3 - Still cold, going skating :-)

The ice was great, very slippery so impossible for "Elvis" to join us on the ice. He was like "bambi on the ice" :-)

On Saturday we had some hours on the ice with Sveins brother and family. Olav, Lars's friend from class slept over from Friday to Saturday, and we had so much fun.

Åge made hot chocolate! :-) Lars - a bit grumpy! :-)

Olav on the rock - Lisa and Kajsa in the middle of the lake.

Svein skayting with Lisa in the pram, he was like a kid on the ice! :-) And of course, carring his camera on his back! :-)

Another week has passed, trying to tidy a bit at home, and working on preparation and getting prices for the "new kitchen". Excercised 3 times this week, including Karate with Anna! :-)

Still detoxing - its hard, but I will continue all the way until I'm in Caribbean. Only 3 more weeks! :-)

Week 2 - Starting to get back on track......

Its been a great week. Lars has started his Karate lessons with Emil (next week both Anna and me will attend as well) - I bacame aunt again :-) - Exercised 3 times - had party with friends and celebrated Norfryds 40 years birthday. A great party with delicious fresh scrimps! Jummy

Also another great news in the family - Our cusin Hege is pregant, her due date is in July and we really look forward to follow her pregnancy. First cusin in the Svangtun family that is expecting a baby :-) So if you need any equipment please let us know! :-)

We really enjoyed skating, whole family except Lisa, she was in the stroller and by feet!

On Saturday we enjoyed our local lake called "Hålandsvannet" with many of our neighbours, and on Sunday we went to "Store Stokkavannet" with family Storhaug.

A great week with alot of sun. It was quite cold, but if you are in activity, than its no problem! :-)

Relaxing at home :-)

Lisa knocked out in front of the television - Bath time! :-)

Congratulations to Vibeke and Atle! :-)

Its just fantastic, and he is so cute! :-) Today I became aunt again! Jonas was born 13:41 - weight: 3965 gram - 52 cm long, and 36 cm around head! I was so lucky to join them during the hole delivery. Vibeke did a great job and did not use any anaesthetich at all. It was the most fantastic experience ever, except from giving birth to our own! :-) I am so proud, as I write I am still full of adrenaline! :-) I even cut the umbilical! :-) Congratulations both of you! 13. of January is noted in the diary! :-)

On Friday family Hellands visited them at the hospital.

All of us wanted to hold him.
