Made in Reykjavik: Fall fell in Reykjavik

We are getting into the swing of fall. I love this time of year, especially here in Iceland. The days are starting to get a bit darker, the weather a bit crisper, and the leaves are almost gone from the trees. Makes me feel like making soup and reading books. It always seems like fall flies by. I am feeling very excited to go to the Northwest to visit friends and family...only a month and a bit to go until we fly away! I´ve been trying to talk with Elsa about flying away on an airplane and going to Grandma and Grandpa´s house and we´ve been looking at a lot of pictures and practicing saying family members´names. I´m not sure how much of it she understands...we´ll see.

Kids grow like crazy. Elsa is a full-fledged toddler, and Finn has started to roll (making him even more ball-like than his round self already was!). Elsa is learning so fast...how to entertain herself in the car, drive a tractor, and keep her little brother busy. For his part, Finnur Atli has started to eat solid-ish food before he goes to bed, and we hope that will help him learn to sleep better at night.

We took our first whole-family trip to the summerhouse last weekend, and had a wonderful time. We went in the hot tub, and took lots of naps, and played outside, and we (Elsa) rearranged the whole house.

I´ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking for me this time...we have lots of errands to cross off our to-do list today!

Skyping with the grands...We will see you (for real and not in the computer) so soon!

Happy Finnur on his tummy
