Tuesday was hubby’s birthday, but the kids had surprised him Saturday with a present, a record player and Solveig had bought a record for him. It’s funny how records are coming back in style. I guess it’s partly because you then OWN the music, though we have TONS of CDs but never listen to them …
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) …
Today Anja is 9 years old! She’s our youngest and was the smallest when I gave birth to her. Her siblings would say she’s spoiled, but…. I don’t know 😉 She’s my little snuggle bug and loves to hang out with me all the time, probably because she never went to public school or has …
Last Saturday I did a craft show, I haven’t done one in years, it was OK but not great, but my friend was next to me and her kids and mine hung out together, so we weren’t bored 🙂 I’ve tried to “tame” our pumpkin patch, that’s not producing pumpkins nor watermelon, but instead our …
We had a fun Halloween Those of you who know me, know that I don’t really like Halloween, but last year and this year I allowed them to go trick or treating but we only did our neighborhood, which ended up taking 2.5hrs and they got GOOD candy! ha ha Sonja crocheted a hat for …
We ended up having a birthday WEEKEND for Solveig! Of course we made Danish Layer Cake and we actually made another one because her sculpture teacher at Meredith has the same birthday, so Solveig wanted to bring her a cake too and share with the class, then she also brought a quilt for her and …
My oldest daughter Solveig is 20 today, she’s artsy fartsy and a great big sister, a good student- a senior at Meredith College. She’s majoring in Psychology and Minoring in Studio arts at Meredith, and next semester it’s going to be all art classes! She’s really done some soul searching and found that she doesn’t …
Last weekend we went to the beach for a few days to get some vitamin SEA and some nice rest and relaxation! The weather was nice, in the afternoon we were actually able to go into the water, we didn’t expect that in October and hadn’t packed swimsuits, but Dan, Bjorn and I went in …
Grandpa passed away Wednesday morning, 11 days after Grandma….He was right, when they lived at our house back in May and she was not well, he told her, she lived a good long life and whenever she’d die, he’d die soon after that… and he did! It was kind of odd this time, Monday morning …
Thanks everyone for the condolences. We have gotten grandma cremated and decided not to any sort of ceremony, because we sort of did that as a family Saturday when she passed away, and she had outlived all her friends and family and that had really made her sad the last few years. And with grandpa …
