Real life – the first 24 hours


I went to bed early and had a good night sleep. Not sure why I look like I would benefit from far more sleep….


I was summoned to the day’s first challenge at eight – looking after Kristian who is still sick…


He is a little proud that he has been driven in an ambulance with sirens and blue lights. The little toy-ambulance he received as a gift at the hospital almost makes it worth being sick. I did try to do something useful…


But Kristian had other plans…


I did my best and I was very helpful during the building of the Lego…


But…I was not much fun when it was time to play with the Lego so I was told to find something else to do while he played with the Playstation.

Talk about real life…


She can be thankful that she went to Trondheim with her mother…


The messy genes must be something she has from me. After this sight I needed something strong…


…and some fresh air…

The weather doesn’t look good but who cares:) I got a fire going and I have warm coffee. ( and a computer). Real world? What is it about that anyway?

Wedding album and more wedding album

I am obsessed with finishing this wedding album now. Wish I could stay at home scrapbooking until I was finished but one or two pages a day will have to do.

It is the day before the day…

The mother and the grandmother of the groom makes sure there are good food to be served in the barn for the guests…

 Finally the day arrived with sunshine. While the bride was up bright and early to be transformed into the beautiful swan she is the rest of us had breakfast with the groom…

I guess the young couple did more than copying songs the night before because at breakfast the groom told us they had decided to have a third child. 10 months later our baby Tor Magnus was born so they kept their promise. The father of the groom was most worried about how to get the best photos in church. He had all the reasons to be worried:)

We had a beautiful morning. There were clouds in the distance but it was clear that this bride would have no rain in her wail. But before the bride is showing we have to get organized in church. Okay…someone is taking care of that…

Now we must be ready for the bride? Or…maybe not…

Move more & eat well } week 7

This is the third week I`m logging the same weight since I started this journey and I have had my meltdown. Thankfully – all I could find in the drawers was almonds, apples and strawberries. Still I was able to add one day`s worth of calories to today`s ration. Let`s just say – so that happened. Tomorrow is another day.

Still working on the wedding album and yes I am getting closer to the actual wedding. We have had our meeting and greeting with family – party…

…and grandma has given her little angels  a bath. Even the bridesmaid is cleaned up…

I always wish I could sing and dance

…but like the men in my family I do not sing or dance. The new generation seems to be doing both. At least this one seems to plan a future in the dance…

Yes I can see a great future there:)

I am born into a family where no one can sing, but she can sing…

You got to listen to her:    Opptak

How to dance the waltz

The men in our family have a hard time with the waltz and that`s one reason for a high stress level before their wedding. These days we are reliving it once again as we repair for the next wedding in August. I have heard some talk about a dancing class and maybe that is a good idea? Two days before the wedding in 2008 we did not need dancing classes because we had our own teacher…

Grandpa Ansgar sure knows how to waltz. I`m not sure how much the groom learned from this session but I am sure he had fun:)

We woke up to snow today – hopefully it will be gone tomorrow, and little Kristian is doing fine.

Get well soon Kristian

Our little boy was rushed to hospital this Saturday. They think it can be pneumonia. Hopefully they take good care of him and he will be home soon.
