Sailing away

OK, we're good to go...

A little bit nervous about what we've gotten ourselves into

Much better with mummy near



Cecilie driving

With Mr Nilsen at the helm we reached 7.7 knot

One hot pregnant woman

Some proper sailing grub...

This angel is reserved for Mr Lars

Latest from the pool

Well, Mr Lars still doesn't master the butterfly, or the crawl, or the breast stroke, or doggie paddle, heck he doesn't even know the rudimentary elements to floating, but these mere trivialities doesn't stop him, oh no only water in his nose stops him...

At the beginning of the summer we couldn't get her out of the baby pool, now we can't get her out of the pool at all, except for "splashing daddy big time" activities...

...and as soon as he learns how to swim this guy will be golden. Until then, a total liability!

August Mix

OK, object lesson time: if your child is being weaned off his naps, DO NOT leave him alone with mummy's purse at nap time... (yes, that is a becoming shade of Desert Rose lipstick)

Yma is visiting with her parents and brother, from England, the girls are having a blast, they are truly kindred spirits and spent SIX hours playing house in Cecilie's room!

The $1 fan that really makes life worth living...

This one would be the headshot then, for a bright Hollywood career, we might need to photoshop that background, maybe.

Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jigg

Shelley and Jeremy Satterlund

Three stooges (long gone, those halcyon college days...)

Where I spend my days...

Adieu Florida

No problem dealing with delays when there are clouds to climb...

...and airplanes too...

Merry going round

The polite wave...

The ride in the park: Cecilie & Victor

The jokers: Lars & August

More water...

Water Park

August & Victor emerge victorious...

Out flying...

The gang under the crazy tree with the thousand trunks...

Next generation entertainers, with music, lyrics and some smooth moves

Going fast

Amusement Park

Forget about rides, give me an antique fire engine, any day...

Not sure how to read those expressions...

Going for a ride

When Lars becomes a millionaire I can pretty much guarantee he is having one of these in the back yard

More Florida

Showing off the spoils from Wal-Mart: Monster Trucks & Princesses

Olympics, here she comes! A huge deal since a month ago she told her swimming teacher she "wasn't fond of jumping"

Lars, grumpy about not being a big kid
