Picking plum from the tree! :-)

Jesper (our nephew), Lars, Anna and Lisa picked plums from our trees. And the best of all, they tasted delicious! :-) They were so happy, they even used the ladder to reach to the top of the tree! :-) Now we have 2 big plastic bags in the freezer for pie! :-)

Thanks to Kelly and "Nonna" for great package!

On Friday we got a surprise in the mailbox. We had to run to the post office (no driver to pick it up) :-) and quess what? A package from Kelly sent from USA! WOW. We was so exited that we couldn't wait until we came home. Lisa was in 110 :-) Mum just as Mia has! :-) New pink sparkling shoes. Can it be better? :-) NO! Lars got some Star Wars toys and Anna got a coin purse and some earrings. She has not seen them yet because she is not home before next week. But I told her and she was so exited. She said immediately! "To me.... oh, they are so kind!" :-) And Lars he has played with it aswell and said thank you very much!

We had to go home and find a small princess dress that Lisa could try together with the shoes. A bit to big, but Lisa was so proud. Just as Evie has! :-) She says that to everything. Just as, just as..... :-) She is just soooo funny! :-)

We really hope to see you here in Norway once. And to you Nonna, you are welcome with or without Kelly, you know that! :-) But on one condition, that you teach me how to make a good american cake - hihi - just kidding, you are welcome without conditions! :-) Call us on Skype one day that would be great! :-) CU :-)



And except from that I continue with my training program for the 5k running. On Monday I'm in week 4 :-) Improving, but still a loooong way to go! :-)

No signs of the shipment. But we are getting closer and closer to the target, so give us a couple of days and everything will be ready before the shipment arrives!

Week 31 and 32 - Back in business again! :-)

Lisa loves to cuddle with granddad! - Emil picked some flowers to me. The biggest bucket ever! :-)

Kristin and me went to town on Friday to celebrate Jens turning 40 years! :-) We had a nice evening with good food at Sting and 2 fantastic strawberry Margaritas before we went home. To save some money I took the bus home. It was really boring even it took only 20 minutes. Its hard to be so spoiled that you are used to call Zaur and he will bring you safe home, and now I had to join a crazy busdriver that drove soooooo fast! :-) Puhh, and the worse thing is..... I have to get used to it, this is the real life now! :-)

PS: Look at my great shoes! I wear Kelly's old shoes as often as possible. I simply love them! :-)

Emil and Lars went to football school this week. Sorry to say but Lars "give a shit" about football, and he said it was really boring..... so no new David Beckham from Stavanger! :-( Emil was more interested than Lars so I think he will continue playing. Svein was just laughing, he got it probably from him. No interest at all! :-) Maybe we can ask if he would like to start on ballet or something like that? :-) hihi

Week 30 - We went to our cabin in the mountain :-)

Mum, Alf, Lars, Anna and Ingrid went on Sunday and Lisa, Emil, Vetle (my nephews) and myself went on Wednesday morning. In our new car with integrated dvd's the trip was quiet and without any trouble. It was fantastic! :-)

We had a great week. Svein came up the following weekend and stayed for 3 days. A bit grumpy because he had to drive the old Ford Mondeo, but anyway, I was driving around with kids, so no question! :-) hihi

We went to a great zoo an hour to drive, and the kids was so exited. We was not very lucky with the weather during this week. It was more or less rain the whole week. :-( Anyway, when the sun showed up a couple of times we manage to paint a bit and also change some materials on the roof. Allways some maintenance. I thought I was going to rest from painting, but so wrong I could be! :-)

Family Scarborough from Baku visited us in Stavanger

"Grand opening" for the new Weber grill! Exactly as in Baku, and as expensive as before! :-) So approx. 550 manat if not more.

It was very nice to see them again, and we had a great day together. Bente & Ivar Magne with family came also for a couple of hours and it was so nice to see everyone again. The kids was also happy, and it was sad to leave eachother later in the afternoon. Hopefully we will see eachother soon! :-) We had a walk around in the neighbourhood and down to the sea for catching some small crabs. A really sunny good summer day! :-)

Week 30 - Anna and Lars sleeps in Ingrids house!

Lars in action!

They did many things when they were there. Sat on Atles motorbike... Hmm, one of mums favourite :-) drove 4 weels bike and looked at hourses.

Hipp Hurray for Svein Terje - 40 years today! :-)

We have invited friends over for coffee, tea and cakes at noon today. Unfortunately we woke up an it was raining, raining and raining. Upps, what do we do with all the people inside in the house, no furnitures and not finished anyplace. Well, we have to find a solution! :-)

Anyway, 40 years "far" thats no problem for you. You look fantastic young anyway :-) Have a great day!
