Moving

As we prepare to move from Oslo to the USA, my heart is full of feeling about what we will leave behind and what is to come. We sold our home a few weeks ago, and it was a tough process. Preparing the place for photos and viewings was quite an experience, and we even had a home stylist come to us and tell us how to decorate our place for the sale! We had to buy in new pieces of furniture and make the place spotless and perfect. We even renovated the bathroom. Aidan commented that the place looked like a hotel, that´s how sterile we made it!

Daniel has had a tough time lately with his gastrointestinal issues, but I think he will turn a corner soon. It seems that 10 rounds of antibiotics and a possible milk protein allergy might be our culprits. And we are committed to a better diet for him and the entire family. We´ve dropped refined flours and bread, and will try and eat less sugar, more veggies and fruits, and of course no dairy products for Daniel. He has had a really tough time with lots of sickness, and it has affected his mood and patience. My heart goes out to him when he´s hurting, and I can´t wait for things to get easier soon for him!

Daniel is a funny and smart little guy, and we adore him. He is slowly adding words to his vocabulary, and can understand almost everything. He loves trains, and still calls them "vuggas," although he also says "frain" now. He loves his stroller, a Mountain Buggy from OTH, and often asks to sit in it. He calls is "wogen," as in the Norwegian "vogn."

Aidan is doing well, but is nervous about moving and starting school - especially since we don´t know which school he´ll be going to yet. He had a really sweet kindergarten graduation party at Årvoll Gård, a nearby farmstead, and we´re so proud of him! Here he is at the party.
