Johan's summer program

Last night was Johan's summer program. He's almost done with first grade. It's kind of strange - when he started school in the fall, I still felt like I had a little kid, because first grade here is kind of like kindergarten in the States. But now, he's going to be a second grader, and that's a completely different thing. He's a kid now, not a little kid anymore. Now I feel like all of my kids are getting so big...

Lynusklubben's Football camp

Last Thursday Anders and Johan were at Lyn's football camp for members of their kid's club - Lynusklubben. Some of the Lyn players were there to give the kids some tips, and they got some cool football jerseys. Espen was there the week before when they had the session for the older kids.

Global Warming

It's 5:00 pm, and it's 84 degrees. It's June. In Oslo. In Norway. 60 degrees North of the Equator.

More orienteering

Johan got a slight injury when he tripped and fell against a rock, but luckily they had a first aid table set up with someone there to fix him up.

Espen the orienteerer

Yesterday Espen and Anders were in an orienteering race. I'm going to post some of the pictures I took, but until then you can check out this link online. Scroll down about halfway and you'll see two great shots of Espen in action.

Tessy turned 25 yesterday

My beautiful sister Tess turned 25 yesterday. I didn't talk to her, but I have been thinking about her so much. I always feel like I have a special connection with her birthday, since my high school graduation was on her 5th birthday. I can't believe you were only 5 then, Tessy - or that you're 25 now. I love you a lot and can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
