Hear that sound?

It is the sound of rejoicing in scattered places across the globe at the following news:

As the technological wonder that I have become, I am happy to announce the following link which allows for longer videos than this blog seems capable to handle. Henceforth, when I have videos longer than a minute they will be posted on my Vimeo site. Yes, that's right. Go ahead and join in the cheers. Those of you who have been checking daily, even hourly, for more footage of a certain trio will be at least temporarily satisfied. This first glimpse was shot on a cold March 5, same day as the tire swing video, below. Isak was still tired from the flu. HERE.

No thanks are necessary. Your happiness is enough for me.

Elina's 4th Birthday Party

The last few days leading up to Elina's party we had the following scenario: all three of our cars broken (but we're down to only two thanks to Mark), a backed up sewer line, a broken clothes washer and on the morning of the party (30 minutes prior) I ran an errand in a borrowed car (mind you, our own were not working) and I got a ticket! Mark was roto-rooting the sewer line at 8 pm the night before the party. I'll spare you further details. I frosted the cake at 11 pm to the sound of much evil critiquing of my "Hello Kitty" artwork. I let Mark have a go on the pink cake I had just frosted. Please comment on which Hello Kitty you think was best, the brown one or the pink. Thank you!

Birthday Morning

Elina turns four today and her wish came true. A pony baby! She's been thanking me all morning long.

A Walk in the Park

I just arrived in the Age of Technology and figured out that I can upload videos! Who would have thought? Actually, I was not aware my camera even had the video function, with sound and all! Very embarrassing to have discovered this so recently. Time to invite my parents to this site and join the ranks of moms who without restraint publish every minute detail of their children's daily routine. I should place a boredom warning to anyone entering this site that does not happen to have emotional investment in our kids.

Isak seemed to have recovered from the flu yesterday by spending the day pestering Elina and practicing combat moves with his new LIGHTSABER. They both wanted to go to the park, but the walk proved long and by the time this footage was shot he was spent (as you can see).

Enjoy!

The Trio

Possibly the best kids in the world. Isak five and a half, Elina almost four, Annia ten months.
