E is for Eva.. EASTER & the Eagles Nest..

-
E... yes, another favorite! ... I bet you are wondering now if there are an letters that I don't like...
(ask me in a week..LOL)
(pronounced Ava)
Surgar and spice and everything nice... that is my baby girl Eva...


Nah... don't let the long hair and bows fool you...
she is a total Tom-boy who will allow me to dress her up
 this little girl is one tough CHIC.. self suffcient, who can get the job done.

.

Watch out boys... cause she is ready to kick a little butt...
Eva is a  ray of sunshine in our life...  she looks a lot like me... but is very much like her daddy...
I think Eva will end up being the child content to put down roots.. and grow where she is planted
Eva is thoughtful and kind... and always has a surprise for me when I return from my business trips. and is friends with EVERYONE...
I love you baby girl!
 you make my heart smile Everyday...




EASTER is HUGE here in Norway...

Many started their EASTER holiday LAST Friday...
leaving the office saying GOD PÅSKE
 Giving of Easter eggs full of candy to friends is family is common. Though Easter is a religious holiday, many do not celebrate it as such. Many people retreat to their cabins or go skiing since this is such a long holiday. Easter is synonymous with vacation in Norway, and is one of the most anticipated holidays here as well.

Places we have been that start with E? ...
We have been to Estonia, Edinburgh and Egypt...
 the Eagles Nest  ... 
which also happens to be one of my most popular posts-



The Kehlsteinhaus (known in English as the Eagles Nest). The house was commissioned for Hitlers 50th birthday and took 13 months to build. It lies on the tip of a mountain (the Kehlstein), 1834m above sea level and is one of the most popular attractions in southern Germany.

What beautiful eyes your daughter has! It was lovely to read about her!

Isn't it odd how much they love easter in Norway! I kept wandering around Nille totally shocked by all the Easter decorations, table ornament things, chocolates, feathers, just everything! I would love to see what a Norwegians person's home looks like right now, if they're buying all of this! :)

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...

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...
