Haakon and his new gravelmaskin


Here is Haakon. Farmor bought him a new gravelmaskin to add to our collection of heavy equipment. He really wanted to show grandma and grandpa his new toy.

Haakon and Anders - brotherly love


Here are the boys. I am not sure if Anders is trying to kiss him or bite him. It is hard to tell. Today Anders realized how hard the coffee table was as it collided with his head. He is really quite the crash pilot right now.

Marius and papa


Frode just got home from a training camp. He was really missed by all of the boys!

Haakon and Anders


Here are the boys hanging out before bedtime books.

Helping Anders


Here are the boys helping their little brother. He has a new car that he can sit on and push around. I think the big boys like it as much as the little one.

Two farmers overseeing the combine


Here are the boys in the tractor making sure that they are doing a good job. Haakon is pretty happy to have his bike helmet back.

Stor Combine


Here is the very large combine that is harvesting our barley just before the rain comes. This is for the grandparents that have been hearing about this large machine.

Haakon ready for fishing


Haakon was getting ready to go fishing with the boys with the exception of Anders. It was a great day at the cabin for all.

Anders up at the cabin


We went up to the cabin yesterday. Here is Anders enjoying a great fall day up there.

Our sandbox


We also finally have some sand in our sandbox. It is perfect for the new toys that have arrived.

Marius with his bike


Marius is riding his new bike. We waited all summer for it to get here. We bought him a new bike before we left AK and finally the container arrived last week. It was like Christmas here. The boys are so stoked to have some of their toys, books, bikes, etc.

Anders berry picking


Here is Anders picking blueberries.

Frode berry picking


Here is Frode using the best berry tool around.

Marius post blueberry feast


Here is Marius. He was supposed to be picking berries and putting them in his bucket, but if you can see his teeth they are purple!

Anders standing


He also worked on pulling himself up to get a little workout in over the week

Anders working on his smile


Here is Anders. He worked on his smile during our trip.

Stone throwing


We had quite a bit of down time while we were there so we threw rocks and did what normal boys would do!

Sjusjoen birdwatching


We were near Lillehammer in the middle of August and here are some of the pictures from our outing. Frode had a camp there and we went along for the ride and we were able to pick up the Subaru after his camp. No longer a one car family - well sort of, but that is a different story.
