Friends

Saturday was a sad day (in the morning) for my son. For a week his grandparents had stayed with us, now it was time for them to go back home. He didn’t quite understand why; couldn’t they just stay forever?? He cried and shouted when they left. Told me he didn’t want this, for a […]

Do you want to participate?
Here are the “how-to” and the rules:

sunset

I tried to capture the sunset tonight, it was yellow and pinkish, and had a wonderful light.
The photos can’t compete with the real thing, but it’ll give you an idea of how it was
And there were more pink than the photos show as well, and a little bit lighter too!
I so want […]

safe

Another photo from our walk last Sunday. MT had great fun walking with Grandpa and Grandma.

This is one of my favorites from that day, even though it’s from behind. I hope he felt as safe as it looks

a little bit of blood..

My poor kid had to take some blood tests today. I dreaded the thing from the morning, but tried to stay calm so not to scare him. First we saw the doctor, a nice doctor, he gained MT’s trust and was able to listen to his heart beat, check his belly and more. Thankfully everything […]

MT and the cat

On Sunday we went out for a little walk. I took a lot of photos, and some of them turned out nice
We had a cat following us some of the way. MT found that very funny and he loved to stop and bend down and pet the cat… I think I’ll […]

Today I’ve been to town and got a few things fixed.

I can now drive my car, legaly, with 4 passengers. I’ve bought a car seat for MT and a new stroller (got it on sale, yea!) to use on longer walks and in stores. And some other small stuff for my home and […]

Emby,emby!

My son has had a emby day. Emby is Amharic (not sure if I spelled it correctly, though) - and means: I don’t want to. In between he has been so good and laughed so hard while playing with his grandparents. But there has been to many emby’s to say it’s been an easy day […]

“New” car!

I drive a “ware-van” with only two seats. According to Norwegian law there is a lot of taxes to pay for a new van registered as “person-car”, so I’ve saved some money just having the front seat. But now my van is over 10 years old and I can put up the seats in the […]

the journey

I’ve been home for almost a week, it’s about time I start writing some about the journey to Ethiopia.

It all started with me leaving Sognefjorden behind and travelling home to stay for the last days before take-off. It was a wonderful day, but the fact that I had to travel with bus instead of […]

Bathboy

I was sure that I had been given the only African boy that didn’t enjoy water and baths.
Every time I’ve put him in the “tub” (plastic kind before we got home…) he has said no.no.no!
So I was dreading the bath this morning, since he already got angry at me for not getting out […]
