Vegetable garden

Finally, time to harvest!
Adrian has been waiting for this moment for quite some time, the harvest of his first cucumber. He was really excited and ate almost the whole cucumber straight away.


Earlier this spring we planted some seeds of cucumber, tomatoes, parsley and chives. The chives and parsley has been ready for a while, but the cucumber and the tomatoes took some time. Here are the first, and I guess the only, cucumber we got. The tomato plants are just starting to get some flowers, but as we are going on a four week holiday we wont see any tomatoes this year. The weather has been cold this summer so the plants are still inside.

Tasting the parsley and chives. Adrian likes it a lot! This photo is taken in May/June and as you can see the cucumber plant has grown quite a lot since then.



Daniel is not allowed to taste this year but is watching his bigger brother do so.

The first smile

Not the very first smile, but the first one captured on camera. Isn`t he the cutest?

I love my baby brother

Daniel is four weeks already, can`t believe it! Adrian is still the best big brother.

Our little baby boy, cute as ever. Still looks a lot like Adrian did this age.
Adrians favourite game at the moment is running, watch out! His favourite thing is Lightning McQueen from the Disney movie Cars. Our home is invaded by it at the time. The King is on his hat. I had to put it there in order for him to use it.

17. MAI!

The 17th. of May is the Norwegian national day. It is a day for the children, as they get to walk in parades with all their friends, play different games and eat a lot of sweets. Adrian dressed up in this "bunad" (sort of national outfit, comes in a lot of varietes) which was made for his uncle Robin 20 years ago.

He felt really dressed up and proud! I was really nervous up front if he would agree to wear it or not, but that was no problem at all. Here is a pic from the parade for all the kindergardens in Tromsø.
Daniel slept through the whole parade.But the best part of the day is that it is an "law" that allows you to eat as many ice creams as you would like on the 17.th of May. Adrian ended up eating 3.

Welcome Daniel!

Family of four!
Daniel was born on the 24th of April, 3740 g and 52 cm. He looks a lot like Adrian when he was a baby, in fact it is hard to tell them apart on pictures.

Adrian is a proud big brother and can`t wait to teach him how to play with all his toys. He thinks Daniel is very small, and thus he needs very small toys. He might be excpecting a little too much of his baby brother at this time, lets just hope he not too disappointed of him! Up until now he has been quite gentle and caring, lets hope it lasts...
We have just arrived home from hospital and things are going fine at the moment! The delivery was a lot easier this time around and mum are feeling a lot better than after Adrian was born.

Happy Easter everybody!

Want to wish you all a happy easter! The weather is supposed to be great and Adrian is spending his easter holiday practising his skiing skills, after finally have gotten his first pair of cross-country skies.

Stormy skiing

Adrian and Daddy was out for some skiing with Adrian in his "pulk". We were surprised by some bad weather, but Adrian was well clothed and the pulk stood up to the conditions so Adrian just slept through most of the action.

Snowy and windy, but Adrian is fine!


Sleeping tight.

Reaching the car, quite a bit of snow had assembled in the pulk, but Adrian is warm and cozy inside. A told we were out in the weather for an hour or so, and chocolate and raisins in the car was perfect!
