Black & White Wed. Days like this...

-
I am playing Black & White Wed with Lisa from The Long Road to China
Lisa's Black & White Wednesday is the only thing that seems to get me out of my
blogging SLUMP. Thanks Lisa
I think I am OFFICIALLY O V E R winter ....Give me SPRING.. & time on a boat already.
We did have one last (hoping) weekend in the snow... & it was WONDERFUL... spent the weekend cross country skiing & playing in the snow with our babies.
I love DAYS LIKE THESE... Makes me wonder how more we will have, before the children start protesting that they are too big to go out & play with mommy & papa.
I am holding fast with both hands... cause they are growing up WAY TO FAST...





Daddy's little girl...




When did Dane get so grown up?




Tree swings with friends are the best!










Love this Guy!














The car ride home...guess who passed out first????

I looooooove the sun flare you captured in the first photo! Wow! And the eyes on you all are stunning - fun photos! (And though my winter isn't anywhere the winter you have, I'm 100% over it too!)

I so get you on the blogger slump thing. I'm digging deep these days. I either feel like my thoughts are too deep and mushy to document or that I've got nothing much going on...

HOWEVER~~~~If I had as many beautiful subjects as you (including YOU), I think I'd blog non-stop. Your family is awesome and I love seeing a family having pure fun together.

Many blessings and springtime wishes~

Pics are so cute!

I say why worry about them growing up too fast - I'm 39 and when we got one last snowfall the other week I was the first out in the yard building me snowman / ice palace - I figure if we never really grow up why should our kids have to!!

I love the last one, with your son leaning on your daughter. How long did it take before she got annoyed? ;)

I'm over winter too... and it's not nearly as pretty here as it is where you are...

Can't wait to see Spring in Norway, I know you won't disappoint.

Your family is beautiful, so of course all of these photos are too! But I do love the first one, with the sun flare. It's pretty awesome. And I know exactly what you mean about wondering when the kids will be too old to have fun with mom and dad. I'm praying for NEVER! The thought just makes me sad!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

I ♥ Faces -Silhouette... this week is a little different.. we are able to choose one photo to enter... (darn...I had two...) but I think this is my fav.... Eva out at a beach near our home... I love the yellowish clouds & her hair blowing in the wind... She was jumping up & down on the rocks (safety first i n our house...LOL) One of the things I LOVE about Norway are the LONG summer days... this shot was taken about 7 pm... Head on over to I Heart Faces , & see who else is playing! Are you playing yet? if not...WHY NOT? Sooo many neat bloggers who WOW me every week...get on over there...go on ...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
