some catching up

back in november, we visited old friends in tyler, tx. jesse caught me trying to sneak a nap while the kids were being entertained by the flat screen.



then, jesse had a birthday bash to christen our new apartment in graduate student housing. here's og enjoying some of the hyde park fudge chocolate cake.

then we had a post-thanksgiving photo shoot with am. here she is with her favorite digestive: leaves!



and that brings us up to the browns. patrick, kathryn, ezekiel and zipporah stopped by on their way back to albuquerque from the east coast. it took og and zeke about a nanosecond to get reacquainted. we had hours of fun touring the various playgrounds at our apartment. there was also a running contest to see who could give the other's sister the most kisses. it was nice communal living for the last week.

All Hallows' Eve

Here are a couple shots of our favorite Penguin and Ladybug, along with the following day's candy tally (Mom was trying to explain the concept of the 'candy tithe' that our church is holding).

back in Austin!

Here's proof that we're back in Austin. Well, I guess you'd need to be able to recognize Uncle Dave's backyard, but anyway...

We're crashing with Dave while we get acclimated to English-only conversations and knäckebröd-less meals. We'll keep you posted as we figure out what we're going to be up to. Right now, grad school and part-time brewing for Tim is looking promising. We're also busy scoping out the Austin parks for Og and Am.

Scanorama update

Well, we are back in Bergen now. We had a great time in Sweden and enjoyed our return to Oslo. We have one week left, and then it's back to the US. Here are some pics:

Oslo

All right. So we are now in Oslo. We had an amazing trip through the fjords and followed that with a lovely week in Geilo. We accomplished mission 1 of our trip which was to return to an out of the way mountain cafe for some traditional cream porridge. It was all we could have hoped it to be. Tomorrow we head to Dalarna to pursue mission 2 which is to retrieve a cheese plane we left there last year.

No pictures this time but I'll post some in late September.
