Family

My “cousin” Lotte was born!

Today, my "cousin" Lotte was born! She is not my real cousin, but since my mom and her cousin (and Lotte's dad) Einar are so close, they have decided that I can call her that! We are going to visit Lotte on friday. Einar, Linda and Lotte, congratulations!

My mom starts working today.

Today, my mom starts her first day at work after being at home with me since I was born. That means that me and dad are going to be home alone from now on. I am looking forward to this, but I think my dad is a bit nervous...

My dad is home from now on!

Today was my dads last day at work for a long time! First he starts with the normal six week father-time, then he has three weeks of holiday. After that he has one year off for child-care! My dad and me are going to have a lot of fun until april 2010!

I met my great grandmother!

My aunts Suzanne and Sarah, mom and dad and me went to visit my great grandmother in Barger Compascuum to wish her a happy newyear. She was very happy to see me! My dads aunts Sinie and Loes also came, and I got my very own lucky suitcase.

My first visit to the Netherlands

On Saturday the 27th we left for the Netherlands to visit my family there. The flight went well. I only cried a few minutes and then I fell asleep! Finally I could visit "Oma", "Opa", aunt Suzanne and aunt Sarah! "Oma" had found toys that dad used to play with when he was my age. I was very happy to play with them in the same playpen that my dad had used. Aunt Suzanne and Sarah also played with me and "Oma" and "Opa" sang Dutch songs and read books for me. "Oma" and "Opa" had also made a nice new mattress in a small bed for me, but unfortunately I refused to sleep there.  I just wanted to lie next to mom and dad, and I was driving my mom and dad crazy since their bed was only 1,20 m. Every night I was awake at least 3 times... Well, I was very happy during daytime. I tried different vegetables that "Oma" and "Opa" boiled for me. On New Year's Eve we had a nice day! We visited the sheep. I actually saved one of them. She was lying on her back when we came, and would probably have died if I had not insisted on seeing the sheep. The fireworks were very loud, but I slept through all of them! The flight home went very well. My parents sang for me and I was smiling and playing the whole flight!!!!

I celebrated Christmas at Ålgård

We went to stay at "mormor" and "morfar" 's house at Ålgård. My parents had brought luggage for two weeks and lots of presents. I enjoyed celebrating Christmas Eve together with "mormor", "morfar", mom, dad, uncle Asgeir, aunt Siri, Marta, Gudrun, aunt Eli, uncle Lars and Emma. We were so lucky to finally meet father Christmas!!! I got many nice gifts and I was happy to play with Marta, Gudrun and Emma. My parents and I slept 4 nights at Ålgård, but I cried every night, so I didn’t really sleep much. I was obstibated, and I had pain in my ear. Anyway, we had a nice time at Ålgård!

Emma and I were baptised!

Today Emma and I were baptised in Gjesdal church at Ålgård. "Mormor" had made a nice baptismdress from her own weddingdress!  I was quiet during the whole sermony except for crying during one song. We celebrated our day at "mormor" and "morfar"'s house at Ålgård. We were 25 persons. I got many nice presents! There were lots of sandwiches and cakes, but I only wanted breastmilk...

Visit from “oma”, “opa”, aunt Suzanne and aunt Sarah.

My grandparents and my aunts from the Netherlands came to visit us since I will be baptised on Sunday. They came by car and brought many presents again. It was so nice to see them again. I had grown very much since last time I saw them. My aunts will stay for the weekend and "oma" and "opa" will stay one week.

The baptism of Gudrun

“Mormor” and “morfar” were my babysitters

My mom went away a few hours since she wanted to visit her friend Eirinn in Stavanger. After half an hour I cried a lot, and "mormor" and "morfar" had to call my mom to come home...
