View from our house

We have had some cool light in Trondheim lately. At night the moon has been full and twilight has creates a glow. We have also had a ton of winter weather which I am so done with. At least it makes for some beautiful pictures.

New Things

Anders is really getting big. After what seems like months of teething he finally had a tooth break through and then another one broke right after. Teething has been a real trial for the little man so we were soooo happy that something finally happened. He is also getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth, uh oh! We better watch out I think crawling is just around the corner. The little guy tummy crawls all over the place right now so it's finally time to baby proof. His new words are ba ba and na na but the favorite is still da da. Ma ma is only said when pissed off, go figure. The first tooth.

Standing like a big boy!!
Both teeth and a happy boy :)

Birthday Girl!

Ave turned five in March! Five, I know I can't even believe my baby is getting so big. All of the sudden she is a little girl and I get glimpses of the woman she will one day be. There are so many big thoughts in that little body some days I just laugh at the questions she asks. Everything intrigues her and sometimes she asks really difficult questions. She is the most amazing big sister and I'm so proud of her for that. It is like Anders has a second Mom. Although I did catch her one day pushing his fist lightly into his face while she said, "stop hitting yourself." So we will see how the relationship develops. Happy Birthday my baby girl you are the best thing that ever happened to your Dad and I. Birthday dinner, she choose shrimp and pasta.
The cake, she insisted on it being strawberry with pink frosting. Ave had a wonderful day and received many great presents. Thanks again to all our family that paid crazy shipping rates to make sure she had a wonderful day. She even got Burger King for lunch ( a huge splurge in Norway, like a $30 splurge.)

Sunny Snow Days

We've had a few days of sun over the past couple of weeks. When the sun comes out in Trondhiem one must get themselves outside. Ave enjoying the sun on our deck.

He needed sunglasses too.


The two monkeys. They really like each other.

Valentines Day

We went with a fondue theme this V day. I love fondue! Ave hated the chocolate fondue (too bitter) so she ate the pound cake and fruit.
The cheese was a bigger hit. We made taquitos and had broccoli and french bread!
