Visitors from England



It's been an eventful week for little Milly. From last Friday until Tuesday this week, we have had Andrew's sister and the family visiting from England. So Milly got to meet her 3 cousins, Arthur, William and Tilly, for the first time. That was a real treat, and she very much enjoyed all the attention she got. Maybe a bit too much... Now she's back to the old boring days with only mummy to entertain her... It was really nice having the Mansers here, and we all had a brilliant time.


As for updates on the little "flump" (daddy's new word for her...). She has now started going to bed a bit earlier, and isn't quite so difficult to get to go to sleep. Which means there is a little bit more alone time for mummy and daddy... hurra... She is smiling and laughing a lot these days, and has started 'talking' to her self when she's lying on the mat.



There was a request for a picture with mummy in it, and finally we have got one of the whole family.

They start early...


There is no doubt which club Milly supports (although she didn't really have much choice...); there is only one United!

2 months old.....

A big event this week. On Thursday, mummy and daddy were going to the local music festival, Øyafestivalen, and bestemor was coming down from Hamar to babysit. So the big question was, was Milly going to accept being fed from a bottle? And would she behave for grandma? As it turned out, everything went absolutely fine. Grandma showed experience counts, and both got her to sleep a lot of the time and fed her 4 times, so mummy was able to stay at the festival the whole evening without having to pop home once! Which mummy enjoyed a lot, and even indulged herself with a beer or two...

Milly is growing quickly, it's amazing to think she's already 2 months old :-) She has started to really take an interest in what's going on around her, and has lots of funny facial expressions and keeps us amused by coming up with new ones all the time. She is smiling a lot, laughing and has started making sounds, which sounds like she is trying to talk to us.

First trip

Ok, we just have to admit it. We've been rubbish at updating recently. The only excuse is that Milly and mummy have been away for a few days. Milly has been on her first trip outside Oslo, to visit the grandparents in Hamar. We went up on the train (which was a success, as Milly slept most of the way!), and daddy came up to join us after a couple of days. It was nice to go up there, we got to see lots of people and spend a bit of time with bestemor and bestefar.

Now we have the Huby's visiting for a few days, with the little 'Womble', which is really nice.
I've added some more pictures for the followers, just to show that there is progress!

Getting organized

Not long after the agreement to acquire the land for the cabin was finalized, the transfer of the land in North Lane went through, so we sud...
