One penny for your thoughts

Seems like a babies look carries all the wisdom in the world :)

August the performer... ++

Meeting family

Sanna got to meet her cousins Nora Annie (7) and August (4) this weekend. They loved her!

Hipp hurray!

Today is Sanna`s first celebration of Norways national day, the 17th of May. She sleept through most of it, but the parents felt very proud to spend the day as a family for the first time. Hipp, hipp hurra!!!

Tired...

After a bath I get pretty tired...sweet dreams....

Just loves to bath

Bigger than me...

Sivert did visit here the other day. He is Sanna`s cousin and is 5 months old, born on the 3rd of December. When they grow up together they will be very close in age. At this point though, Sivert weights the dobble of Sanna`s weight and is a lot longer than her. So I guess there will never be a huger difference between them any time later in life, than today :)

Today in the US we celebrate motherhood!

From my house to yours... Happy Mother's Day!

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

Happy little girl...

5 weeks old today!

Little princess

Black and white pictures can sometimes better capture some of the magic and timelessness a little baby gives us. So here is one, have a lovely day everyone!

Sharing with Everyone - Velkommen!

We are now officially OPEN to share our journey with everyone... if you've been following along as an invitee, thank you for your visits! It has indeed been our pleasure to share this blessed journey with you.

Team Minnesota & Team Norway have decided it's time to share with other friends and family. For those who wish to "start at the beginning" you can find that under BLOG ARCHIVE and November 2007.

The transfer gift

When we visited Minneapolis for transfer last summer, we got a beautiful gift from Julie over a grand dinner at the Melting Pot, down town. It was a yellow body with a red bear on it, for good luck... and now 9 months later, Sanna is wearing it - and she looks yummy in yellow!

Sanna`s first bath

.... oh`boy that was lovely....

Officially Closed

 Room 106 is officially closed for the month of April. We went for one final happy hour and a quick dip in the hot tub. Thanks... from Minnesota!

...and Miss Sanna is 4 weeks old today! Thinking of you all in Norway as we pass this little milestone. I suppose it's about time that I finish up her birth story and get it posted.

Soon. I promise.

Give me your little finger!!!

Sanna prefers the little finger to the pacifier any time... we have a little job ahead of us convincing her otherwise :)

We are blessed with summer like conditions in Trondheim. It is the warmest April since... a long time. Global warming? We enjoy it at this stage anyway. Tulips are just about to burst out in full bloom. The outdoor deck is our second, no first, living room these days. Sanna sleeps out in her stroller, wrapped in the "dead sheep". We check her temperature every now and then. We don't want her to be too warm or too cold.

Wish you all a wonderful 1st of MAY!!! HURRRAYYY :)

Love & pink hugs from Tommy and "SaHanna" :)
