Yesterday Margaret celebrated her birthday - FELIZ CUMPLE MARGIS! 
Today Melissa and her class had their christmas party, and they hade made a great show to entertain parents, brothers and sisters and grand parents. Everyone enjoyed the performance and the children were proud ans they received the thunderous applause ;o) 

Yoselin's 3 months is over

Next week Yoselin, Melissa's youngest aunt is going home to Peru after a 3 month visit with us here in Norway. She has been here to learn a little bit more about our small corner of the world and of course to help Zulema during the pregnancy and the birth of Storm.   Last night we all went out to eat at a restaurant in Son and today we're going bowling in Ski. Creating some last moment memories before Yoselin waves good-by to us and goes back to her mom in Lima.

Friday 28'th Zulema and Ståle could celebrate the arrival of little Storm.  Melissa has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her little brother, and as you can see from the photos  - it was love at first sight. And  i am sure that somerwhere Mishelle is also taking part in excitement.  While Zulema and Ståle was at the hospital, Pelusa spent a couple of days her with us - but i think she knew something had happened, because she kept trying to look for her father.     Melissa has spent the entire week home from school, as she has been suffering from Mycoplasma ( giving her a really bad cough, nausea and headaches ), but hoepfully the antibiotics she is taking will help her get through quickly.

autumn days and Halloween weekend

Storm - 1 day old

First off; Congratulations to Zulema and Ståle - yesterday ( 28 ) Storm Amaru was born, weighed in at 4,3 kg!  Welcome Storm!  
Melissa and Mishelle are now proud sisters to a little brother.

This weeekend is also halloween -weekend, and Melissa went to a party yesterday with her friends from school. She was dressed as a vampire queen, and told "scary" stories. - Later she paid the price with fever and an ear inflammation that kept har awake most of the night. Even so, we made the decision to go and visit the newborn in hospital today. Melissa loved it, but turned ill again so the visit was kept short.
On a side note... even Mishelle now has a pumkin head at "her place" .. she 2 needs to celebrate in style  ;o)))

Well, there is no doubt - winter is approaching!  Last night the thermometer showed 5 degreees below zero and Melissa has began using her winter jackets.  We have also prepared Mishelle's place with autumn heather, the only plants i think that look good and can endure the cold. 
Melissa has had some trouble this past  2 weeks with a bad cough, but yesterday we went to see the doctor and received some medicin we hope will do the trick. Melissa has suffered for a long time with a cold, and one of the things we hope to determine is whether or not she may have asthma. I hope this is not the case, but since she has had trouble for such a long time,we want to rule out that option!


Wishing u all a wonderful October month

A week of work

This week has been a busy one. Here at our house we are trying to get the roof top sealed, my grand mother changed her appartement and we helped her move. Fortunately my mom made us dinner on sunday - my favorite; meatballs and cabbage stew! Mmmm

Working on the rooftop....

Relaxing

Being the owner of a house = never going out of work..    Now we have taking on the challenge of discovering why there is a leak in our roof. Once the roof tiles came of , it became clear as daylight WHY we had a leak. Or rather condensation as it turned out. At some point the carpenter ran out of materials and took a short cut - he used plastic under the roof tiles.. Not the best idea he had i think. Well, anyway with the help av some good people we are now 1 day a way from finishing the repairs. Just in time for winter?  ;o)

Autumn days

The rivers runs high in Norway these days

Melissa happy 2 see the bus on a rainy morning

One more week at school and Melissa starts her autumn vacation - let's hope the weather will be better then..  These last few weeks has not been good, and the rivers have gone beyond their limits more then once.

An amazing day

Melissa loved the speed

Yesterday we spent some 4 fast paced hours at http://www.rudskogen.no/  together with the Organisation for cancer sick children.  All the drivers from the streetcar community was there, and took everyone for a spin or 2 ( even us adults got our childhood dreams fullfilled ).  Even though the weather was rather cold, we had an amazing time there - and Melissa had a great big smile on her face when we left.
