Wednesday - Finally the shipment arrives..... :-)

Around 10:30 in the morning 2 trucks came full with all our stuff. It was like Christmas Eve! :-) We worked the whole day and evening. And luckily when we went to bed in the evening all our beds was installed. It was great to sleep in our own bed again.

I don't know if it was a sign or not, but the first thing that was moved into the house again was the ironing table! :-) Hmmmmm...

They called from the nursery and said I had to pick up Lisa. She had diarrhea. She was so tired when she came home that she falled asleep in the beanbag, in the middle of the day! :-) We ordered pizza for dinner, and everyone that helped us deserved some food! :-)

Week 35 - Started work :-)

Lisa tries to pull down some plums - Vibeke collects for making jam! :-)

Juhhuu - I'm a business women, working 08:00 - 16:00. Or actually, to reach job I leave straight after 7 then I avoid que. Depend, but takes around 15-30 minutes to job :-) It was nice to see all my collegues again. They have been so friendly, I really really appreciate it. I have to admit this week has been quite busy when you need to pick up from nursery before 16:30.... Puhh, it has been long days for her at nursery this week. Well, she likes it and are not complaining at all, so it will be the same pattern this week. Routine, routine, routine! :-)

Except from that I continue with my 5K program. I'm finish with week 6 now, but still I cant understand that within 2 weeks I will be able to run 5K. The race Ruth wanted me to join was this weekend. I'm so happy that she didn't signed me in. Maybe next year, if I continue with running as I do now! So I have not given up, and thats a progress! :-)

On Saturday we celebrated Jens & Kristins 40 years birthday. A great party with good food and liquid. Not home before after 04:00 - last people out! :-)

Except from working every day we continue working in the afternoon. On Wednesday this week we get the shipment, so quite much preparation before that arrives. And also, on Friday Bee (our aupair) comes from Thailand. We really look forward to meet her and get to know her better! :-)

This weekend we went to Bergsagel, Alf's familys cabin around an hour from home. We picked some plums and feeded the swanes.

To Alsvik with Annas class

Straight after work and organizing with the the other kids, Anna and myself drove approx. 1 hour out of Stavanger to a nice place called Alsvik. We were 36 people in total and we had a great day/night together. The only bad thing was actually the weather. It was raining the whole night, and a lot of wind - it really felt like autumn. Anyway, some of the kids had a swim even it was under 10 degree C. :-( grrrrrrr.

We rented canoes and paddled around in the lake. Nice place, its a pity we cant afford a cabin in this area, way tooooo expensive! :-(

Anna and Linnea - Best friends :-)

Week 34 - Various

Lisa and Kajsa at grandparents - Svein rolling at Ikea. Since we sold many things we had to buy new again. And now with new system - we had to pick everything ourselves. 3 trolleys, so quite much! :-)

Around one of the lakes nearby the is a "passifier three". For kids that do not want to give their "soska/passifier" to santa claus or someone else you can hang them on this three. Decorative as well! :-)

"Kongeparken" a great amusement park nearby

Sveins brother with family invited us to join them to the "Kingpark" :-) It was a great day, and we were quite dizzy in betweeen all merry-go-round :-) All except Lisa (she was too young) went to the chocolate factory as well. They made their own chocolate and was so exited!

Anna and Lars started school - Lisa nursery

Nursery is only 100 meters from the beach. Nice location and only 2 years old.

She is very proud and likes to go to nursery. She is very comfortable both with the othere kids and the adults.

Linnea, Anna, Lisa and Lars - Lars in the classroom, beside Marte :-)

They still like going to school, but they hate homework! :-(

Summer Party at "The Haaves" house!

First we joined The Polks party directly on skype from Baku and then we continued our own! :-) Thanks for arranging it. It was so nice to see and speak to everyone again! :-)

Directly from Egypt with new Beduin tent, they invited friends over for their annual event! :-) Smoking shisha in the tent, meeting friends, dancing, eating fantastic food and listen to good music. A great combination that made us stay until early morning! :-)

Even our own "Hare Cristna" visited us! :-)

A great success this year as well! :-).... although Svein had hangover until Sunday evening! :-) hihi
