Good Eats

Lucia has gotten a bigger belly since arriving in Norway. Nina has been great to try 67 things in a row for Miss Picky Eater. Witness her belly.

Adventures

Here we are waiting for the bus before a trip downtown today. Brrrr.

Ahem

Look what habit we've picked up in Norway. I think it's the dry air...

Walking in Da Snow

We ventured out on Christmas day for a walk through Gamle Bergen, which translates to Old Bergen. There were a lot of people out, actually. Little Miss did not like getting her hands cold, which apparently changed yesterday when she ate tons of snow. At any rate, here's a quick video of Pete and Lucia walking. Also, there's new pictures at the album link below (previous post). Enjoy!

Fun with a Spoon!

Nina has taught Lucia how to eat with a spoon!

Merry Christmas!

Hope yours is Merry and bright.

Day 4 in Review

Day 4 was good! Well, it didn't start that great: I've had terrible insomnia, so I was up from 3-7 a.m. Norway time (6-10 p.m. PST) just hanging out, unable to sleep despite feeling exhausted. I finally fell asleep, and the next thing I knew, Nina was waking us and letting us know it was 12:30 p.m. Whoopsies.

Today's plan was to meet Pete's friend at the mall around lunchtime; since that didn't pan out, we decided to head to the mall anyway, but pick up Pete's brother on the way. There's been a bit of snow here, maybe 6 inches? And Pete -- believe it or not -- had never driven on snow like this, since when he lived here he didn't own a car. So here's a video we shot while we were waiting for his brother to come out.




And then here's the shot of what the next almost two hours held:



Oooof. Apparently everyone had been stuck at home with the snow and wanted to get out too. Hard to believe in NORWAY, but the town reminds me of Annapolis -- teeny roads in the main town, and once you're snowed in, you're basically stuck.

So anyway. The mall was good. I managed to order coffee in Norwegian, and find a toilet that was free. SCORE. Little Miss had a rough time falling asleep tonight, so we let her stay up a bit later and entertain us with her hat.




We have more taken from tonight, but we gotta get to bed. Cross your fingers that I can actually sleep. :)

Pictures of the Day! And Happy News!

My suitcase has been found and should be here momentarily. Hooray!

Here are some pictures from this morning; we thought it was going to be relatively nice day, but um, watch the video and you can see why we decided to stay in. Brrrrrr!

Testing Video

I have a new camera -- THANKS SANTA!! -- and we're testing to see if it imports video OK. Here goes.
