Apologies for the longest blog hiatus to date. It turns out that having a job and two toddlers can tire a person out. Who knew!? Time has flown by since my last post in the summer. All the leaves have turned and fallen off the trees. The days are quickly disappearing. We had snow flurries for the first time just yesterday. I do love this time of year...it makes me feel like curling up with a blanket and a book and a cup of tea and watching the weather. It makes me feel like making soup and pies.
Elsa and Finnur Atli grow like crazy, but I don't notice it until I look back at old photos and videos from a few months back. When I see Finn do a puzzle or stacking blocks or playing with his sister, it is hard to imagine that he took his first steps just a few months ago. Elsa is wonderful. Her Icelandic vocabulary has exploded, so we are at the point where she is teaching me new words all the time (Actually, she yells them at me, SSSLLOOWWLLLY so my stupid head will hear them!)
Good thing about waiting to long to blog is that there a loads of good pictures :)
Elsa and Gunnhildur putting together a puzzle. (Elsa is wearing Langamma Vilborg's earings, since it was a special occasion; Langafi Halldor's 100th birthday celebration with his descendants!)
Finn eating pancake like a champ
Oh yea. We went to Barcelona!
And ate a bunch of ham...
And even saw Lady Gaga in a meat grinder
And the big beautiful Gaudi chruch
I like the lizard!
Tumi was a 10 on the excitement scale outside the Barcelona/Real Madrid game!
On a touristy tour with a bike
Then we found this spot. That was really nice :)
And Sessa watched these two beautiful children while we were away!
Now they have matching sweaters
We bought a pumpkin and carved it!
Tasting didn't end well....
My new desktop!
Fall at the zoo!
We all like the pigs the best, I think
And some old ones form this summer.
Finn fell down and got a nasty scrape!
And Elsa put underwear on her head and said, 'That's silly!'
My boy can eat!
Elsa's new favorite game: play with the kitchen sink bubbles!
