Finally they finished laying the new decking outside. It looks good now, not as messy as it did before. I wonder what I’m going to put there…..

One of many wild flowers in my garden. I love these.

I love living by the river. I love living by any kind of water, to be honest.

80/365 – July 15th 2010

I went by my parents this evening. My mom made me dinner and then we moved out in the tent (of sorts) and had coffee and sweets. It’s been a while since it’s been only me, my mom and my dad together for an whole evening. Strange but nice. Missing MT a whole bunch.

The Red Rule demanded this picture taken. In this case you might even call it the Blue Rule as the door was just as important as my friends coat, but anyhow. I spent a nice evening in this house, chatting, eating, laughing and even got a late evening walk in the rain.

I’ve read these books several years ago. Now I’ve started up again and added two books to the collection as well. This is #4 of 9, so I have great reading for the whole summer

On my way home in the early evening – after having had three services in three different churches – the sun shone so beautifully at the river. I had to capture it.

My friend Bea is busy preparing for the wedding of her son and (soon to become) daughter in law, she loves making cakes and have several in the works. This is all for the wedding cake, it’s going to be fantastic. I’m leaving my son with her for a few weeks, he’s going to have a great time. I’m going to miss him.

I drove over several small and large mountain areas on my way back home. I tried to take photos of the scenery, but it was not so easy… Loved this one though, with a little capture of what’s behind me as well

……………………………..
72/365 – July 7th 2010

Today was my birthday and I celebrated a little with family. We lit the wood stove (of sorts) that stands in the garden and it worked wonderfully as a BBQ. A great evening with tasty simple food. | here is a digital scrapbook page I did about it |

73/365 – July 8th 2010

Every once in a while I need me a new coffee mug. I loved this green and white polka dot cup, it is my new favorite. Today I enjoyed some coffee, sitting outside just relaxing.

74/365 – July 9th 2010

Any normal evening you’ll catch me surfing the internet, some of the evening you’ll also catch me watch telly. If I only could get around to start blogging again regularly I would be so happy.

……………………………..
75/365 – July 10th 2010

I’ve started walking by the river. I really like it; all the beauty of the nature, the smell and sound of the water, the funny scrapbooking podcast on my ear. An hour well spent.

……………………………..
76/365 – July 11th 2010

It’s been a rainy day. I love the light in the evening.

63/365 – June 28th 2010

I’m so glad we didn’t hang out at home until it had been to late for a bath. That happens sometimes. But today we managed to get out of our house and drive to a great place for bathing right by my parents house. We even got my mom to come, she brought coffee and cookies and we spent a few hours by the lake together.

He’s not as eager to go out and play in the rain as he was when he was little, but he still loves to make his own dams and rivers on a good rainy day.

……………………………..
65/365 – June 30th 2010

Sometimes the sunset really is strong in color. I love how the river reflects it.

……………………………..
66/365 – July 1th 2010

Today we visited IKEA and MT got to try out how a Loft Bed feels. He’s warming to the idea, but still thinks he has an alright bed as it is. I don’t agree, so come fall we’ll be back buying this one. | Note to self: I have to make a blog post about this day and the trip to IKEA, not often we are told to leave the building, I’m just saying… |

……………………………..
67/365 – July 2nd 2010

Every now and then MT asks me to come and play some football (soccer) with him. This time I tried to capture us while playing. The photo is just a strange one, but it makes me happy.

……………………………..
68/365 – July 3rd 2010

He insisted on taking a bath. The water was cold, so this is as far as he got. But at least he got to try.

……………………………..
69/365 – July 4th 2010

After driving all night we were greeted by the morning sun on the ferry taking us over to the north side of the fjord. It’s so good to be with friends for a couple of days, an so great to be in the western side of Norway again. I like it here.

MT is so looking forward to three days of football school. He’s jumping up and down of pure joy and doesn’t even care that he doesn’t know the other kids of his age group that much…

……………………………..
57/365 – June 22nd 2010

From my walk by the river, lots and lots of beautiful flowers along the way, I really liked this bright yellow one even thought it’s a bit blurry…

……………………………..
58/365 – June 23rd 2010

I went by MT’s football school today at lunch time. And this is how they cool off the children it’s been a really warm day. MT is having so much fun and learning a lot about the play too. He had so much fun following the sprinklers around the field, jumping up and down. And when he came up to me afterward he was dripping wet from top to toe.

59/365 – June 24th 2010

Sometimes and evening photo is all I can manage, it’s been a busy day – and a busy busy week.

Last fall they had to dig around the house since there was some trouble with a damp cellar. Now they are finally here to clean up and finish the job. It is so nice to see the ground flat and even again. I look forward to see the grass taking over…

61/365 – June 26th 2010

We where playing outside, throwing a ball over the table. He was throwing in all kinds of directions and I told him to play nice. “Me, I didn’t do anything”, he told me with a fake smile.

62/365 – June 27th 2010

Today I had service in this and one other church. I love this old church, it’s beautifully built and quite old. It was a beautiful day as well.

O.K. so here we go again with the iPhone photo project. I’m still shooting a photo a day,
but I’m sooo behind on my uploading (Seems familiar?!) Anyway…

I’m changing things up a little, but you can still jump over to Flickr to see the photos larger if you want.

50/365 – June 15th 2010

I played the catch-up game with my photos. I’ve been good taking a photo with my iPhone each day. Not so good about uploading and writing a few words to accompany the photos. This was a looooong day at work, it was good to come back home and spend some time in front of the computer in the evening to regroup and recharge. It’s going to be a busy week.

51/365 – June 16th 2010

The last church council of our local church was held in one of it’s members home. This is such a beautiful place, I just had to snap a little photo of the view. It was a beautiful day too.

……………………………..
52/365 – June 17th 2010

The children and teachers at MT’s school invited us parents for a summer party. With hot dogs, coffee, talking and playing. All of the children got role in a musical play, MT got to dance, and it was so fun to watch them. Here he is trying to smash the ball right before we went back home.

……………………………..
53/365 – June 18th 2010

MT is officially out of 1. grade. He is starting summer vacation.

……………………………..
54/365 – June 19th 2010

Today MT went to stay at the farm with his Grandma and Grandpa. His cousins were visiting too. I had to work and missed it all…. Here he is waiting for Grandma to pick him up, we met up on the half way there since I had a wedding ceremony to be back for. I miss him when he’s away, but I’m so glad he gets wonderful summer memories to cherish.

……………………………..
55/365 – June 20th 2010

Today we had an outdoors service celebrating Gods creation. Afterwards we went on a little hike looking for wild flowers in the fields – and on the side of the roads. We had fun, the weather was warm and filled with sunshine. My mom and dad, my sweet niece, my uncle, aunt and cousin all joined us. A good day.

O.k. I admit it. I’ve been trying out a few different approaches on the 365-project side of things, and I haven’t been absolutely perfect in any of them. But I’ve still had some fun and learned a whole lot about me, photographing and blogging. So I’m not afraid to try it ONE MORE time This time I’m using my handy with-me-to-almost-all-places-camera; my cell phone. It doesn’t take super good photos,  but this is about preserving memories from each day and not about capturing images for wall hanging…. or so I tell myself I’m using the ShakeIt app for iPhone to turn my photos into Polaroid (mostly because it’s fun to shake the phone and for the most amazing sound it makes… hehe). To make the photos more alike (kind off), I’m planning to use this approach for the next year. I might change my mind later, but I can live with that. I’m kind of used to being me by now and I love to change it all up from time to time. So I’m not making any promises…

Her is the seventh week of the project – in photos and a few words:

The clothes hung outside for days while I was waiting for sunny weather. It never came, so eventually I took them in…. (June 8th-2010)

I always need some Sudoku at bedtime. I love to figure out the difficult ones, but sometimes I just have to sleep on it a couple of nights before I solve them… (June 9th-2010)

~~~ 45/365 ~~~

I stopped by my parents on the way home. A beautiful day, and my mom cooked me dinner. Nice! (June 10th-2010)

Love to have a few flowers around me. (June 12th-2010)

~~~ 48/365 ~~~

Having some fun with MT. Playing a sort of catching – throwing game over the table. Great to have the Sunday off and just be together the two of us having plenty of time to do whatever we want. (June 13th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 49/365 ~~~

It’s been a lot of not so good weather the last week. Rain, rain and gray. It’s been plenty of this to think about and to prepare too, so this time I took my photo in the evening. (June 14th-2010)

~~~ 36/365 ~~~

On our way back from the football (soccer) matches this week. We drove by this farm with lots of Lamas. I think they are the coolest animal, and I’m so glad to finally just stop and take a little photo. (June 1th-2010)

I wish I was out there on the tiny lake in the canoe. It’s so much fun, and it’s been far too long since last time!! (June 2nd-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 38/365 ~~~

I brush by this bushes everyday on my way to and from the office. The smell makes me stop and smell it once more. Love it. And the blue sky makes me happy too. Bright shiny early summer day. (June 3rd-2010)

For a while there I got to be bare feet in the grass. Loving the summer feeling. Have really been enjoying the warm summer weather as of lately.

Had my first wedding in the stave church. (June 5th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 41/365 ~~~

Me in the mirror. That’s a thing I like to do from time to time.

I had two services this day. One in the stave church – and then one in the afternoon at our local church. It pretty much took all day, but I got time to play a little with MT and ate some delicious dinner (June 6th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 42/365 ~~~

In the early afternoon MT ran over to our neighboors to see if anyone wanted to jump in the trampoline with him. He soon came back and told me that he had no time for jumping, he had to watch a show at our school with E. Mogeno. I had completely forgotten all about it, and even though I mostly felt like staying home the rest of the evening, I knew he’d love the show. So we did. And he loved it. Mores surprisingly; so did I. (June 7th-2010)

Another Football Match Tuesday. This time he got to try out being keeper; and he loved it (most of the time). (May 125th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 30/365 ~~~

I went on a little trip with my colleagues down to the sea side. Nice. The walls of the room where we stayed were paper thin – and we girls had to keep our voices down… Not so easy. LOL. (May 26th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 31/365 ~~~

My dad brought me my bike. Nice to see you old fella. One of these days I’m going to give you more air for the tires. Then we might get going somewhere. Lots of great bike trials around here! (May 27th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 32/365 ~~~

Ah, not a paper on the floor. Pure bliss. Our living room as of late May (May 28th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 33/365 ~~~

We went to a football cup in the neighborhood. The team did some really good matches, but lost a few as well. MT was keeper the whole time and did well, even though he didn’t catch them all. He was a bit down about that, but we figured even a super good keeper misses a few balls now and then – and he’s just seven and new to this keeper business – so lets not aim for the sky. He loved the price, though, it’s proudly placed on his window still. (May 29th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 34/365 ~~~

He was trying to kick the football while standing on his hands. I have no idea why (May 30th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 35/365 ~~~

Once a week MT goes home from school. Because of the big road he’s not allowed to walk here alone – so I go and meet him. Today he made a run for it. (May 31th-2010)

~~~ 22/365 ~~~

A big day. Playing his first two football matches of his life. Jumping all around the football field out of pure joy for the game. (May 18th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 23/365 ~~~

Today was sunshiny and warm. Some afternoon showers came, but not much. MT was eager to start his football training and brought his new ball since I was in a meeting and he had to wait for me after the training was finished…. (May 19th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 24/365 ~~~

It started out this beautiful sunny day with warm, warm weather. I was so happy to hang the laundry outside and did a little bit of that and a little bit of this, sorting my mind after a busy week. In the early afternoon I started sewing on a gift project when suddenly a thunder storm came. I jumped to my feet, closing down all things computer and telephone. Then I was ready to jump out to save the laundry and the rain started pouring down and I got soaking wet trying to save my now really wet laundry (note to self: next time let it hang, the sun is bound to come back sooner or later). It rained hard for a while. I almost forgot to get MT home from school. (May 20th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 25/365 ~~~

Today we had White Sunday service in church with the youths of our neighborhood (ages 6 to 15). It was nice  (May 21th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 26/365 ~~~

MT helped me write down what we needed at the store. He added a few things on his own too, like lots of candy and a magazine with toy gift. Then he drew a few faces and wrote important above. I love that he’s starting to put the words together and hope he can find a way to write down all the stories he love to tell The day was spent cleaning the house and chatting away on Designer Digitals (at least I did), MT was outside playing and spent some time in front of the TV too. (May 22th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 27/365 ~~~

White Sunday was glorious in more ways than one. After church we spent the day relaxing in front of the computer + in action out on the lawn playing football and such. So nice to spend time together. In the evening we moved our beds upstairs and to the bedrooms far away from the morning sun MT was not so sure if he liked the idea of moving bedroom, but when the bed was in place and he got to decorate with his favorite things, he had some great fun. And he told me he slept really well. (May 23rd-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 28/365 ~~~

The heath and the early morning sun made us move upstairs. At least for the summer. MT got to use his new bed covers that he got for his birthday and was a happy camper. This is after the first night. Later I hope to paint this room and make a few images for the wall. But so far it suits him just fine. (May 24th-2010)

He got to take his bike to school in the evening. A few parents gathered to help clean up the place after fall and winter. We call it dugnad. And there is usually some cake  (May 11th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 16/365 ~~~

It was late before MT could play his online games. We had to clean and tidy up our house before our guests arrived. They came a quarter past midnight. MT greeted them by the door – so happy to see them. Then he went to sleep – seriously tired. (May 12th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 17/365 ~~~

Enjoying company and the new football
We [finally] celebrated MT’s birthday with family and friends. (May 13th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 18/365 ~~~

A beautiful day with lots of sunshine. Relaxed and laid back after some really busy days. I even had time to play some outdoor sports with MT in the afternoon. Sweet! (May 14th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 19/365 ~~~

MT got bored today so we played a few card games in the afternoon. Too bad mummy won 3 of 4 of them.  (May 15th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 20/365 ~~~

We drove by my Grandparents old house today. I wanted to show MT where his great grandma lived when I was a kid. I have so many good memories from this place. It used to be ocher yellow and the garage is new. (The current house owners were looking at me standing by their driveway, so I only took a snapshot before we moved on.) Glad to have captured some memories anyway  (May 16th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 21/365 ~~~

Celebrating our national day. Great fun (no matter how grumpy he looks in the photo..)! MT loved being there with his class mates, after the procession there were games to play and ice cream to eat. (May 17th-2010)

A while ago MT planted a few sunflower seeds. Finally we got them into proper pots. It’s still a while before we can plant them out. Wonder if they’ll survive… (May 4th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 9/365 ~~~

We had some time walking home from soccer practice. We went down to the lake. And MT got to throw a few stones in to the water – and I got to snap a few pictures. Loving the afternoon light. (May 5th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 10/365 ~~~

I only took one photo today. Or, honestly, I took a bunch but with my big camera… MT got to hang out with the youths tonight, he love to do that and the youths are so kind to him and lets him join them when playing games. Nice! (May 6th-2010)

He was so proud of himself for only using one hand while riding his bike. I was more interesting in the sun rays and how his hand and they [almost] met…. (May 7th-2010)

~~~ 12/365 ~~~

I went by to help my dad some more at the farm. This time I got the honor of driving our old blue ford. It has no windshield, so it was windy – but not as dusty as I thought it would be. While I was working the field I listened to a couple of podcast from my favorite scrapbook show: the paperclipping roundtable. Got to love multitasking work and hobby…. (May 8th-2010)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ 13/365 ~~~

We celebrated my nepiew’s Confirmation today. A beautiful day together with family. MT was proud to put on his new Ethiopian Folk Suit and told me: Now I feel like a real African. (May 9th-2010)

We went to the farm to help with the farming again. MT was happy to bring the class teddy Oskar along. They even got to sit in his uncle’s truck. So much fun (May 10th-2010)

O.k. I admit it. I’ve been trying out a few different approaches on the 365-project side of things, and I haven’t been absolutely perfect in any of them. But I’ve still had some fun and learned a whole lot about me, photographing and blogging. So I’m not afraid to try it ONE MORE time This time I’m using my handy with-me-to-almost-all-places-camera; my cell phone. It doesn’t take super good photos,  but this is about preserving memories from each day and not about capturing images for wall hanging…. or so I tell myself I’m using the ShakeIt app for iPhone to turn my photos into Polaroid (mostly because it’s fun to shake the phone and for the most amazing sound it makes… hehe). To make the photos more alike (kind off), I’m planning to use this approach for the next year. I might change my mind later, but I can live with that. I’m kind of used to being me by now and I love to change it all up from time to time. So I’m not making any promises… Anyhow, here is the first week of the project with photos and a few words:

~~~ 1/365 ~~~

It was MT’s own idea to stand like this. I love the colors and the feel of it. I took a few photos this day, but this is my Favorite with a big F. I had fun exploring our home and garden with the new apps for iPhone, trying out a few different versions – but settling on ShakeIt app for the 365-project. We had some warm comfy sunny weather this day. (April 27th-2010)

This was a cold and wet day, so different from yesterday! On the way back home I captured the rain on my windshield. (April 28th-2010)

~~~ 3/365 ~~~

Another warm and beautiful day. Crazy how the weather changes from a day to another. I went to a meeting with the other pastors in our area. On my way back home I just had to stop by this mountain lake and snap a few images. Wish I had my big camera with me, though, this could make for a good big photo on the wall…. When I returned I met two Confirmant groups in two different churches and had rehearsals for the coming Confirmation services. It still amazes me how different the youths reacts to church and faith. I’m both intrigued and worried about it, but mostly it makes me want to learn more about what they believe in and share my belief with them even more. (April 29th-2010)

I love this guy. And his BIG smile. I love him when he’s not smiling too. (April 30th-2010)

He was so proud. And loved sitting with Grandpa in the tractor. Looking forward to see him learn what farming is all about, watching Grandpa work is a good beginning as well is getting into the action… MT was at the farm from Saturday to Sunday so I could fully concentrate on the big Confirmation services ahead. (May 1st-2010)

Yay. I got the flag up. All by my self. A little proud of that. A beautiful day, both people-wise and weather-wise. In the evening we visited some friends of my parents for coffee. Nice that as well (May 2nd-2010)

~~~ 7/365 ~~~

I’m so glad I finally got to help my dad at the farm, if only a little. Driving the tractor up and down harrowing the field. I wish I could help him more. MT found courage in himself to go down and get to know one of my parents neighboring kids – and had a lots of fun playing soccer and jumping on their trampoline. A good day (May 3rd-2010)

….or something like that.

I wanted to write a post earlier, but I wasn’t able to log into the blogs dashboard on my PC. Due to a paper hiding somewhere unknown to me. (These last couple of weeks have really been a period where things I need get lost – or hidden. Frustrating.)

Anyhow, I just wanted to let you in on my latest photo project. I’m doing well; and have so much fun! shaking up a poloarid on my iPhone each day. I know they aren’t the best photos, but using the camera that I have with me almost everywhere sure capture a few more moments while they are happening.

No need for: hold that smile till I come back with the camera or do it again so I can get it documented. Oh, well, I still say it sometimes, but that is only because sometimes I want to gave the possibility of printing a huge photo of my kiddo

O.k. I’ll be back with more later. But if you can’t wait for it, last weeks photos are all up on my Flicker (see sidebar for link).

See you around!

Okay, moving on with the 365-project! I might be back to add a few more words to the photos, but for now I focus on finding one photo a day. I’m a little too much behind….

Monday 23rd:

It’s alway fun trying out someone else’s toys MT had a blast on our very mini-vacation. We said our goodbyes to our friends and after an relaxing morning we headed out of Oslo. On our way home we made a stop at IKEA and at my brother’s. Two important places in our world I had to work in the evening, a youth club and MT joined me. When we finally got home we both were terribly tired and full of impressions from the weekend, but so happy we got to spend it with friends and family!

Tuesday 24th:

A super busy day with lots of happening and interactions at work. It went nice, though, and I got a lot accomplished. At home I didn’t do much, other than snapping a photo of this gorgeous yellow flower that I bought at IKEA yesterday. I’m not sure it’ll last long, so it’s nice to have it here alive in a photo (at least – I haven’t been good with flowers lately…)
