A Sunday trip around "Hålandsvannet" :-)

A small lake near where we live is nice for a Sunday trip with the kids. Its about 8 km around and the kids like it very much. It was Lisa's first trip sitting in back with me! Our nephews and Lars biked as fast as they could without complaining. Even up the hills! Must be their new bikes. Especially Vetle on his small 2 weels bike. For him it was like two times around, the wheels was so small! :-)


Playing with a boat in the lake - Svein, Vetle and Elvis

Lene, my sister - Vetle, "mor" and Lisa :-)

Emil and Lars had a "pee-breake" :-)

Lars showing his new world map on the wall! :-)


Today he got an e-mail from Sebastian and he was so happy to hear from him! :-) Sebastian said he had been in Bulgaria to see some relatives so he wanted to know where Bulgaria was on the map! Here it is. The only thing we need to do now is to put needles on each place we have been! :-) Mum has not decided yet how she wants to mark the "Atlantic crossing" by sailboat! :-)

Pizza at family Myhres home! :-)

We had a great evening on Friday. Together with some other friends of Janne and Morten we was invited for homemade pizza. In the own (exactly as we are going to buid in the new kitchen). Anna was with us, and we have not seen her since. She thought it was so nice to see Victoria again that she wanted to stay longer! :-)




Approx. 2 minutes in the own, and the pizza is ready - Delicious! :-)

Week 29 - The kids are never home anymore! :-)


Martha and Børge invited us for pizza together with family Emmerhoff. A great evening, and the kids fell asleep one by one! :-) Even it doesn't look like it here! :-)


Lisa helps Svein using the screwdriver - Eating scrimps at my sisters house in sun. Fantastic! :-)


Visiting old grandmum, she was not in the mood today, but at least she got some fresh air! :-)


Having a walk around where we live. Its quite nice to near 3 minutes from the sea where you can walk, and walk as long as you want.... or run for some! :-)


Vibeke, Atle, Ingrid, Alf and grandmum came and visit us in the basement. We ate strawberry with cream. Delicious! :-)

We had a great barbeque at family Storhaug in the week as well. It was so nice to see them again! :-)
Except from this we have been working and working at home. Finally Lars's room is ready now, so he is sleeping in his own room! So proud! :-) That is thank to inlaws + Mum and Alf that helped us with babysitting, painting making curtains etc. etc. Anna's room so also nearly finished. Only need to polish the floor! :-) But the kids are never home. They sleep everywere, so excited to see their friends/relatives again! :-)

Week 28 - Working inside and fun outside :-)


Dad and Svein changing windows - Father inlaw painting the ceiling in our bedroom.

New trampoline in the garden. Juhhuuu. Guro and Linnea was here on Saturday to play with Anna. They jumped and tried to have a swim in the submarine pool. But unfortunately there was to many holes in the submarine so all the air went out again. What a shame! :-)

On Saturday we painted many ceilings in the house. Inlaws helped us allot so we manage to complete painting in 6 rooms. Fantastic! It's so nice when its white and not grey! :-)
This week we will continue with the walls! :-)
By the way - excercised 5 times this week! :-) Can't complain! :-)

As we did in Baku....."on the go".....

Can it be better? Silje called on Thursday afternoon and invited us down for grilled fish (Kveite) and a glass of wine! Svein stayed home with the kids so I went alone :-) It tasted delicious! I'm so happy that some of our neighbours are like our Baku neighbours! :-) This is just the beginning............ :-)

Gunn Jorunn invited us for "lapper" :-)


Norwegian "lapper" is similar to small pancakes - with fresh strawberry jam! jummy, jummy! This is one of the thing I really missed of being away from home! :-)
Svein was so happy when I told him that I missed Gunn Jorunns "lapper" - at least there is one thing you miss with "home"! :-)
