A miracle! more pics (see below) without a problem. Rainy days and lantern festivals

New pictures, finally. My computer is behaving long enough for me to post one little blog. I don´t dare load in more pictures lest my computer shut itself down again, as it has done too many times already, but I´ll try again soon. Meanwhile, a small sample of the daily life of Eyrún and Eldar (their best moments).

Here´s a video of little Isadora Duncan doing her thing. The extra bonus feature is that we now have a little Isador too. Take a look and you´ll see... It´s not very long because they get distracted by a puddle of water Eldar had spilled earlier on the floor (you can hear him yelling, AGUA!), but it´s a peek at our future ballet talent :)

Eyrún dancing her own Isadora Duncan style with Eldar and Manu accompanying her at the piano (by her explicit orders of course!)

...and then pictures from Iceland this summer (long overdue as always). I will write later, or maybe mamma and pabbi/ afi and amma can comment too on our trip. These are just a few snapshots of our stay, but I hope it shows how much fun we had as always. We even had good weather!! :)

Here are some more pictures of Eldar, when I published this entry, I realized there weren´t many of him. Enjoy, enjoy :)

Yesterday was our sumarmarkaður at Eyrún´s school. Here you can see a couple pictures of our table, the things that we had managed to make these last couple months, and we actually managed to sell some of it. It didn´t go as well as the last one, since everyone shops more Christmas presents then, but it did pick up near the end. Sara makes the dolls, I make most of the animals (which actually

Too tired to write, but I did get up sufficient energy to load in some pictures. The series down below is very funny, but it came out backwards, so you have to guess the order!

These pictures never come out in the right order, do they? I´ve never really found out how to make these posts look more appealing, but I think that the beauty that these pictures portray should be enough to renderthat fact unimportant. Children are so beautiful,so I guess it´s needless to say that my own childen are the most beautiful of them all :)They are actually known as "the dolls" at Eyrún

Ok, finally my computer allowed me to go about my business, how benevolent of him (her, it? which is it?). So here´s a new video of the both of them, and I´ll write as soon as they´re asleep (one of these days) with new news, like Eldar finally standing up by himself!! (with the help of a table, but I suppose that´s how we all begin...)

Eldar´s first succesful attempt at crawling!Wagner was definitely a major booster... and maybe the little plastic ball was helpful too :)

Since time flies so fast, I thought it would be agood idea to get in some recent pictures. I never got around to loading in the rest of the Xmas pics, but maybe that´s something mamma can do later (if she ever gets around to it, she gets sidetracked very easily, mostly by life in general :)).What to tell of these little ones? Eyrún of course happily celebrated her third birthday in Iceland and

Yes, I know, it´s already February (time really flies fast) and I´m behind schedule with everything, mostly because I´ve been in pain all of January, my leg and back acting up so I could hardly walk. Now I´m finally better, so little by little I´m getting things done. Here are a couple pictures from Christmas and Eyrún´s birthday to start with and then I´ll try to get in some more which I still

I don´t really have any actualy pictures from the jólabasar since in the flurry of getting out of the house with everything else I forgot the camera, but here are a couple pictures of some of the things I was selling. I made zebras, elephants, lions, giraffes and rhinoceroses along with a couple cute little gnomes and handknit sweaters and hats (Eyrún is wearing a hat on the pictures). Sara made

A small video of the pair to keep you posted. Eldar gets me up at six in the morning, so what better to do than blog? Soon I´ll get in more pictures and info on the jólabasar.

The video seems to have worked well, so I´ll try that again, as soon as I have the time, which means after the 29th of November.It´s the jólamarkaður at Eyrún´s school and Sara (my sister-in-law) and I are preparing a booth to sell homemade toys, clothesand Christmas decorations. Between taking care of the kids andhouse I sew and knit, trying to get as much done as possible.It´ll be interesting

Here´s a whole bunch of new photos, seeing that I haven´t posted any in three weeks. The outside world in constant turmoil doesn´t affect these little lives, and their own little world flows on as if nothing were happening. Wouldn´t it be nice to be so oblivious, at least once in a while? I forgot to turn one of the pictures, couldn´t find out how to do that after posting it. Even so, I hope you

A typical afternoon for us, Eyrún eating pinenuts and sunflower seeds while Eldar and I and the four cats sit and watch, in between singing songs, hanging up laundry, and switching Eldar around hisvarious places, either my lap, his chair or his playpen.The cats just love it when we come outside,they´re always around, Mishka mostly to see if she´ll get any food and try to sneak into the house,

Here is the first weekly post (which Iwill try my best to keep up) that has been requested, for our many friends and family scattered all over the world (really, it is amazing how widespread we are!).Many new pictures where, among other moments, you can see our two future pianists making their debut at the instrument, Eyrún busy at her artwork (she decorates the whole stétt, drawing circle after

Here´s a total mix of pictures, just decided to make a big photo feast, let the imagestell their own story. A couple more pictures from Iceland this summer, and the rest are recent pictures from here at home. You can see the two of them together in Eyrún´s bed (which she is very happy with!) and Eldar all wrapped up in her sæng on another one. Eyrún wraps him up and he laughs and laughs, it´s

I think that it´s finally time for a long overdue blog entry, don´t you? I´ve been meaning to at least get in new pictures since mamma´s last blog, but our days are long and intense and I finish up utterly stripped of energy and feel I can do nothing but flop into bed and see how long my children will let me sleep. Eyrún doesn´t sleep at all during the day and Eldar sleeps very little, and they

I've been home now for about 4-5 days (travelled all day Monday, more or less, as I had a 5 hour stopover in Amsterdam), and so now that I've got all the trip photos into my computer, I thought it best to do a final Spain-summer posting(or 2) to show you all "key" photos. And of course Eldar is first as he is the present "star" of all events. So here he is in his grind, playing with a soft ball

Here is my third day in a row, last full day in Spain as I leave on a 6am flight tomorrow morning. In 25 minutes Manu's family is supposed to arrive for his birthday dinner that got cancelled last Sunday. Every chair and fork has been found and put to use and Manu is now cooking our of 3 pans at once with 2 pork dishes in the oven. It smell like Chrismas! says Úlla. Now we just need to wait and

Good Grief! I'm back on the same day!! Well, there's Heroes-mania going on in this household(we gave Manu the first series of Heroes for his birthday and now it's heroes every night!!), so since I've already watched it, I'm trying instead to catch up on the blog before I leave Spain. And in these 2 photos you can see what the main job of a "working amma" really is all about......soothing them to

Omg, I`m here just one day later!! But then Úlla did point out to me how "old" the photos were that I put in yesterday.......why, Mz Eyrún has a new haircut and our little Eldar is just over 6 kilos....so, here are some more photo:(to the left) Eyrún loves nothing better than to be naked around the house as much as possible.

As with all good intentions, mine to write a regular blog while in Spain went "out the window", "down the drain", or probably, mostly got "waylaid" by two little bambinos that need 3 people to take care of them (as well as do things like cook, i.e. Manu, wash dishes, i.e. Amma/me, and breastfeed, i.e. Úlla and only Úlla...!), not to mention intertain them, and protect them and read to them and

The various pictures above are not in the correct order. The one of all of us sitting down at the table is my first evening at a real meal(the day after I arrived......rather pale and shakey thanks to a very rough ride with an Iberian airplane and then a Spanish taxi from the airport.....need I say more?) Then comes next the one of Úlla and Eyrún entering the school grades for Eyrún's last day at

It´s already been a month since Eldar came into this world. It´s seems both like a lifetime and just a fleeting moment.We´re still adjusting to this new way of life, which can become very complicated at moments, but usually works out well enough.So Eldar is now 4,5 kilos and 54 cm, which is nothing compared to the growthspurt that his sister managed in her first month, 4,7 kilos and 56 cm, but

Too tired to write very much, here are new pictures of our babies, big and small. This Friday, Eldar will already be a month old, so time flies, and I will try to keep up regularly with new pictures.Góða nótt!

Yes, here are some of the men in the family enjoying the warmth of little human heating pads. (Hmmm....now there's an idea......no, child labor laws would not permit it.) Ok, I'm alone (with my sons) at home and obviously my brain isn't functioning correctly as my better-half is out there getting warm. And how right that is that he should see and hold and smell and kiss his(our) first grandson

Our first walk outside all together And here´s Eldar, finally awake! This is Eyrún when she was little (although a bit blurry) so that you can see the resemblance between the two

So finally here are a couple pictures, bu tI have many more waiting in the camera, so as soon as I get them into the computer I´ll post some more. Meanwhile, here are a couple snapshots of our new life with two kids (oh my God!). Everything is going great, Eyrún is being a great little helper, and defends her little brother against everyone (she yells at anyone who picks him up other than us: Mío

Hann heitir Eldar!He was born early morning on the 16th, around 2.30 local time, weighed 3.680 g or 8 lbs and was 50 cm long, around 20 in. He is healthy and strong and so is his voice, which we heard over the webcam connection tonight. Eyrún seems to be quite content with things and has already held her little brother. We hope to get more photos tomorrow. Mundi afi.

Finally I find a moment when I both have time to sit down and do a new blog entry and have the energy to do so. These days I find myself without any energy at all, I drag myself around the house and fall asleep if I actually allow myself to sit down, just konk right out. This baby is getting so big that it´s complicated to get through the normal tasks of a day and run around after little Eyrún. I

Finally my computer has started to work, at least at some level! It´s been giving us a very hard time, working at snail pace and not allowing pop-up windows to be opened, thus no picture loading possible on the blog. Now we´ve found out that it does have a virus, we only need to find out how to get it out. Anyway, here are finally some Christmas pictures, these are just a small selection of the

Freysi is now in Canada, Vancouver I believe, visiting friends. He brought with him hangikjöt and asked me to teach him how to make jafningur (the white sauce, bechamel).Here goes: Melt 2 tbsp margarine (butter) over medium heat, add 2 tbsp flour and stir well until smooth. Gradually add 1 and ¼ cup milk, stirring constantly, bring to a boil and let simmer for a few minutes. If desired add a

Yes, life goes on and here is a little bit of the future on its way (7-9-13). Úlla asked me to post these sonar pictures so you can see what's causing her to be too tired and hungry these days (where are my Chees-its!!).

Here are some pictures from our short trip to Asturias, the northern region of Spain. We only had a couple of days before Manu started work, so we decided to go into the countryside, staying in a little lost town called Oscos, where cellphones didn´t even work and they hardly knew what a credit card was. It was nice. Beautiful. Eyrún was thrilled with all the cows, horses and of course the

The Spanish contingent has been and gone. Úlla and Eyrún stayed for almost 7 weeks to the grandparents delight. They stayed long enough for us to see Eyrún grow and develop. And she is a quick one!I will not talk about our trip north in the cold, the blowout near Dettifoss in freezing weather, but rather show you photos.

So here is Mammagvc(that's me) writing......Úlla got these pictures up and also the one's below from the beach, while Eyrún sat in my lap at my desk(one of them) "writing" with a warm kúkubleiu.....:þ. And yes it's been WAY TOO LONG since any of us have done anything on this blog (other than Úlla). These days it's all about Miss Eyrún and her days with us. These photos show some of the events

Before coming to Iceland, it was starting to get pretty hot in Madrid. We got a little pool for Eyrún to cool down in, which she had lots of fun stomping around in. The last week before Iceland we went to the beach at Málaga, all the way down south. The sea was very cold and it scared Eyrún with its big loud waves, but she was very happy to play on the beach with the sand and the stones, and

A few new pictures to keep you posted, poor Eyrún seems to be getting a whole mouthful of molars and is very pirruð these days, but in between she eats very happily laughing at her father, and plays with the kitten (who still doesn´t have a name, haven´t found a good one yet).Newest news here is that Mishka finally got spayed, and she was actually pregnant with no more, no less than 10 kittens!

Although this is far from being as exciting as Freysi´s adventure in Thailand, here are a couple new pictures to keep you up to date.And these will probably be the last pictures of the kittens, now they´re 7 weeks old and they´ll be leaving home to go meet their destiny at a pet store. Except for one, The Slug will probably stay with us since he´s turning out to be a very nice cat, and poor Púki

Here you can see Eyrún with her new hairdo!! We had actually never really cut her hair, only her bangs to keep them out of her eyes, and her hair was getting really long in the back. So we decided that since every day is getting hotter than the last, and that Eyrún is not particularly enthusiastic about washing her hair that we had to cut it. So one day I just snipped it all off while she was in

Here´s a double batch of pictures, both of Eyrún and all the kittens. Now, I guess I should explain the story of Mishka´s kittens for those who don´t know it, you see, Mishka has always been a strange cat (she often seems more like a big bull than a feline, you have to actually see her in action to know what I mean), and she´s never taken interest in male cats nor they in her, and she´s never

So here are just a couple more pictures from the trip, there´ll even be more when I have more time :) So the time spent together came and went too fast like always, but we had fun while we weren´t being sick, and Eyrún was absolutely thrilled with so much attention :) Stay tuned for more new pictures, including playing in a new sandbox from afi and amma for the back yard!

This is Mundi calling from Madrid. We came here a week ago to find 5 new kitten´s, only a day old. Couldn´t get very good photos.. The weathear has not been great but we had a good day at the zoo. Lots of illnesses including an ear infection, examination of patient documented here. More pictures to follow soon.

So just a couple more pictures before mamma, pabbi and Darri come for their visit next week!So here you can see when she looks like her pabbi...(in my old náttföt)...and when she looks like me!(more or less when she´s serious she looks like me, when she´s being goofy and funny she looks like her father) :)

Here are the new Eyrún photos, yaaay!! And yes, I think she has changed a lot in just a month. Today she´s fourteen months old, it´s hard to believe that just a year ago she was this beautiful helpless little creature. Now she´s this huge beautiful little girl that runs all over the place without even stopping for naps anymore, she´s that busy learning about this world. Her newest achievement is

The weather here seems to be turning into something similar to Iceland, it changes every couple days and you never know what´s going to happen. The weekend before last we had three days of 20 degrees. The Monday after that it was snowing. Now it´s a little warmer and it´s raining. I think it´s great, actually, it reminds me of home.So we decided to enjoy the good weather while it lasted and took

Just a couple new pictures of Eyrún at her daily work, playing and exercising, and showing off her new front teeth. The newest thing that cracks her up is putting her shoes on her hands, she thinks it´s hilarious and shares her joy with us, showing us over and over again how she does it while laughing out loud. It´s great.

Although a bit late, here are finally some Xmas and Eyrún´s first birthday photos!! Thanks to everyone for the presents, they were all great. Here she is opening and playing with some of her many gifts, I´ve actually stored some of her things to give to her bit by bit, so that she doesn´t get an overload and refuse to play with any of it (give her a shoebox and she plays happily with it for

A few new pictures of our everyday life: Poor Kisa who now can never have more babies, we finally took her to be neutered, and she was actually pregnant again! (can´t remember if I had already told you guys this, but here goes again then), she escaped one morning when in heat and bam! got herself knocked up again. So the operation was a bit more complicated than usual, but everything went well.

So here are pictures of my new haircut like I promised, and me with a very similar haircut when I was little (how old, maybe 5?). Don´t seem to have changed very much, have I?A few more pictures of Eyrún, before and after cutting her bangs too, as they were getting into her eyes already.And here we are already in December, the month of Eyrún´s birthday!!

Eyrún is now almost 11 months old and so big it always amazes me to think of how tiny she was when she was born. Now she tires me out just walking up the stairs with her in my arms. It´s easier to have her walk up by herself, which is one of her many favorite things to do now, she grabs my hands and always lifts up her right foot for every step. She´s still walking with the aid of furniture and

It´s already November and Eyrún´s afi has come and gone, almost like the wind, the stay was so short (it seemed even shorter than the last time, even though it was the same length). But it was fun and well worth it, Eyrún remembered him well, smiling at him from the beginning and smiling and laughing all the time until the last day. She seemed to know that he was leaving and that that was nothing

So finally I was able to get new pictures posted! I am definitely sick of this blogger, it never works until the third or fourth try. But all is well here, Eyrún is becoming a huge baby, now almost 10 months old, she´s crawling all over the place like crazy with her own special crawl which you can see in one of the pictures; with her right foot stepping on the floor she drags her left leg and

So finally this worked (stupid blogger, it really gets on my nerves!!)!! So here you can see our bedroom and what will later be Eyrún´s room, and the curtains that mamma made!! On the second picture of our bedroom you can see what the curtains do for the room, changing it into a darkblue that feels like being underwater, the greatest feeling while you fall asleep.And then of course the routine

So here are some more pictures, our living room in daylight and in afternoon light, and then the Spanish cousins, the three little ones together, the one in the middle is 15 months old and the other one is 13 months (Diego and Miguel), and Eyrún who is now 8 and a half months, all looking the same size :) On another picture is Eyrún with the two oldest cousins, Daniel and Marina, who are 6 and 3

So finally I got the pictures up on the blog, yaaay!!!! So here is the Eyrún slash kitten batch, and I´ll probably post some more pictures soon. But they aren´t they cute!!! (Eyrún and the kittens, that is.) The kittens are just opening their eyes these days, finally looking like cats instead of little dragons, the white ones were all white when they were born but now they´ve started to get the

So here are a few other photos that fit into the series that Mundi has put on the blog. I'm also trying out posting pics from the same file to see if my doing it (from my computer) will allow one to click on the photos and make them bigger.News? Well , everyone is busy trying to get adjusted to school and other such things. And we will all try to get more blogging done....for now, let pictures

We have a lot of photos from the summer, a summer with Eyrún. Here are just a few, more to come.

Finally we´ve gotten up enough energy and new pictures to post a new blog! Eyrún and I have been in Iceland now for two weeks but Manu just arrived last Saturday, almost Sunday morning after long and tiresome battles with Spain´s beurocracy (always the same problem with spelling that word, not sure if it´s right!) and crazy passive agressive people who do nothing to help. But that´s finally over

The Spanish summer is here and we´re hot!! It´s actually not even as hot as it can become yet, which is making us dread the weeks to come and looking forward to our time in Iceland!! We leave in only three weeks, but before that time we have to sell our appartment, but the new house, pack and move, and all this depends on if we can really sell our appartment which we don´t know yet. Further

Doing what she loves the most these days: daily gymnastics, sitting on the couch and being with her pabbi (with a very punky hairdo on that photo, I might say)!She is now 5 and a half months, and is definitely the biggest baby that has been seen in Spain, according to people´s reactions here, leaving the Spaniards astonished when learning her true age!

(These two photos on the right of course, like always, are not in order, you have to look first at the bottom one, then the top one)Here she is sitting up....but....not for very long!Here she is to the left, "talking" to the Icelandic branch of the family

Having fun with pabbi! (þetta er andlitið hennar þegar hún er að hossast)Litli snillingurinn okkar"As I was saying, this Bach piece that I am about to play really isn´t that difficult, you only have to know what to listen for. I of course have been playing piano since before I was born, so I should know what I´m talking about..."

This is Eyrún´s newest thing, she´s found her feet! Now she does this kind of leikfimi all the time, even sticking her toes in her mouth once in a while!She´s getting so big, not such a helpless little baby anymore, she picks things up with amazing rapidity now, bringing anything and everything up to her mouth to "know" it, she flips over ever so quickly, only getting her arm stuck once in a

Of course these stupid pictures never come out in the order they´re supposed to! Anyway, to see the evolution of Eyrún´s newest accomplishment you have to start with the last picture, then go to the one just above it, then to the first one to see that she now knows how to roll over all by herself!! (And the fourth picture I threw one for Salka´s sake, seeing that she likes Eyrún´s hairdo, in this

Enough silliness! (or actually, in other words, more silliness, just from other family members than mamma (who is the silliest of them all!)) Eyrún´s back in all her glory, in clothes and out, already four months old and almost weighing 8 kilos! A true viking baby, right?

New pictures of the love of our lives, the apple of our eye (in Spanish that phrase is the girl of our eye, in this case, very fitting), the ever smiling, ever happy, most beautiful baby in the world.......Eyrún! (and her mother too in one of them, but that´s just by accident.)We had lots of fun this weekend with Ágústa who came for a four day visit from Denmark where she´s finishing up her

New pictures documenting Eyrún´s budding life!Here she is, already holding up her head and doing a very good job of holding herself up on her stomach. We help her flip over to exercise her muscles, but she´s getting very good at it and is stronger every day, any day now she´ll flip herself over.She has definitely become the center of attention of our household, (even the cats know that although

Here´s Eyrún with her afi!Pabbi came for a too short of a visit (only four days), just enough time to check in on Eyrún to see how things were going.They made great friends, Eyrún seemed to remember him, although she was a bit shy to begin with, but soon enough she was having long conversations with him, smiling, laughing, giggling, gurgling, shouting and squealing, in short all her repertory of

So here are some new pictures just to keep you guys posted. Eyrún has grown a lot since mamma/amma was here visiting, she now weighs almost 7 kilos and is 61 cm. And now pabbi/afi is on his way on Thursday for a short visit too.Lots of news to tell, but too complicated and exhausting to explain while we still don´t know how things´ll turn out. Enough to say that we´ve found our dreamhouse, it´s
