One year of Norway

Yesterday (Thursday) we marked the 1-year anniversary of us moving to Norway. We didn't have any kind of celebration but we did acknowledge the occasion with a little Pellegrino and lemon toast to this great year we have had.

In the meantime, no baby yet. I think Baby is going to be sensible and wait for Grandma Debi and Aunt Heidi to travel out here from California this weekend! They arrive Sunday afternoon and so I think that Baby will just continue to sit tight until they arrive and adjust to the 9 hour time difference, and then decide to join the fresh air on Tues night or Wed morning. That is MY prediction.

I have continued to thoroughly enjoy the increasingly vibrant autumn colors and lovely weather. Okay, I have been doing some boring stuff too like cleaning and shopping, but only AFTER I have been outside wandering for a couple of hours. On Wednesday I went into the nearby village of Vollen to enjoy some yummy baked goods and a gorgeous fjord view from the Vollen Bakery with my friend Elianne and her two boys Jack (8 yrs old) and Felix (2.5 yrs old). Here they are...
