This is us









































































Mark and Victoria:
Our kids, perfectly bilingual, and (with great objectivity by parents declared) probably the brightest kids around:

Isak Oliver - 5 and a half, is obsessed with cars (knew them all by make at age 3). Also spends a great deal of time considering eternal things, good and evil and longs for the millennium when there will be no more wars, but in the meantime imagines (and practices) conquering all evil singlehandedly. Currently attends Kindergarten, the youngest in his class, but tallest, to no one's surprise. Has awakened his mother 2-10 times per night since his birth on a rainy July day in Sweden, with no signs of stopping before college....

Elina Matilda - 3 and a half, named this name before anyone of us realized Barbie christened their Fairy Topia lead by the same (Swedish) name! It does not bother our daughter however, who dressed up as a Fairy this Halloween but was greatly disappointed when the costume failed to bring her skyward. She's sweet as few, loves to draw on any surface, including walls, tables etc, and can take any of Isak's friends in wrestling.

Anja Helena - (pronounced Anya) 6 months. Happiest baby in Oklahoma as long as Mamma is around. Like all Fisher babies, her stranger anxiety developed at 3 months, as opposed to 6-7 like the books say. Our new pediatrician said it is not due to undue spoiling (as some have said) but because they are smart. Way to keep a patient happy, Doctor!

Sadie - labrador retriever, almost 8 yrs old, well trained and the prefect pet. (Victoria's first baby).
