Solveig has been busy! She’s home for the semester from Meredith college, here’s a few pictures from her sculpture class.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Solveig and I went to a cookie decorating event and Sonja made me Candy cane earrings. Dan is really enjoying his record player with the amps and speakers he built a while ago. His office is still in our dining room, but it works and we never …
It’s December! We’ve started Advent Calendars, which I do for the kids every year! When all 4 of them lived at home I bought a somewhat big LEGO set then sat down and split it up into 24×4 steps following the manual so that each day they’d build a little each and it would be …

Anja’s birthday was yesterday and we went to a build a bear store and she found a Pikachu!! (She’s REALLY into Pokemon now, she collects the cards but doesn’t have a set, she just likes the cute cards, then Bjorn got her a starter set and he got one too so they can play together) …
