Sending presents...

This is laughter therapy.

The boys are watching a cute video called "Pingu." I think it is more fun to watch the boys while they are watching it. :)

A day in the life of Soren.

Summer memories

This is at the graduation party from Odin's preschool. He has one more year there.

Pure fun.

Tante Inger-Lise is teaching us the norwegian way to row a boat.

Videos and random shots...

Odin going off the makeshift jump in our driveway on a fall day.

We ran the Oktoberfest Brat Trot in Burien with good friends, Bjorn and Amber. The boys rode in the cart behind us. Chewbacca helped pull the cart. Bjorn and Amber really just came for the Seattle Sounders game, but we talked them into some Extra Fun in our town.

Soren feels right at home at the neighbors house.

Happy Halloween!

Chewy thought he wanted to be a pirate, but I explained that it wouldn't fit with the family theme...

Here we are at the "must do" house in the neighborhood. Soren finished and declared, "I did it!"

More ghoulish creatures and spiders. Batman and Robin did well.

Ian and the boys carved three pumpkins to share with the 450+ kids that made their way through our neighborhood. We ran out of glow-in-the-dark necklaces after 2hr and 5min!

Here is the happy Schwabs ...er...Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and Joker Family! Safely home and successfully tired.

Learning in the company of brothers.

Soren has started to sit on the potty. He doesn't do much more than read, but it is a start.

Another August flashback...Norwegians!

Gila monster...

Enjoying moments in the sun!

Eating rocks?

Eirik and his sweet baby girl, Siren.

Erle enlightened in the sunlight.

Close up and personal to appreciate Siren's cheeks!

Waiting for the Blue Angels fly overhead.

"I see 'em!"
