Steen built a new place for our firewood today. It looks great!

Curious about what dad is doing.



England

Its Sunday. Just came home from church. A little earlier than usuall since steen didnt feel very well. Now they both are sleeping. My two cute boys. Steen and Daniel. Its very quiet.

For a while I have thought about sharing a few photos from our trip til England last month. Steen was asked to be the best man of Allan when he got married. Allan is a good friend and co-worker of Steen. He married an english girl - Amber. And now they live in Denmark. But the wedding was going to be in her homeland, in the city of Poole.

At first we thought it would be easier if steen went there alone. He wanted to take a week of and see some of the places and people he met on his mission. He served in England London South mission. I wanted to go home and see my family in Norway while he was gone. Then we found some really cheap tickets, so we changed our mind and made it a family trip instead. Daniel loves to be with his dad, so we decided to go all of us even if it would be a little more complicated. First of all Daniel got his own passport. It was sooo cute.

The trip went very well, we had a good time together, and the wedding was fantastic. An english wedding with a lot of danish traditions mixed in. It was so fun to see how the englishmen adapted the danish tradition.

For me it was also very exciteing to see Steens old mission field and meet his old friends there. We met a lot of nice, hospitable people.

We also got the chance to visit London temple. I enjoyed it very much.

Oxford. We didnt bring a push-chair, so Daniel was carried around everywhere.

Stairs in a church tower. Many steps.....

Built a long time ago, for smaller people.

Daniels blessing

Time passes by. The first Sunday of May, our little boy was blessed in church, and got his name - Daniel Emil Hylander. Actually he had a name before that... Since we were going to a wedding in England in the beginning of May, we had to give him a name and get a passport before that. We talked about the name Daniel before he was born, but we wanted to see him first. After he was born, we were thinking for a long time. We wanted the name Daniel, but we also wanted him to have two names, and it was hard to find a good name that could fit with the name Daniel. So finding him a name wasnt very easy..... But we finally made the decision, so we could order him a passport.

And then the first Sunday in May we had him blessed. My parents and a few of my brothers and sisters from Norway came to visit us that weekend. And my grandmother. It was good to have them here. Steen gave Daniel his blessing. Daniel was crying all the time, so it was hard to hear what was said. But he got his name, and he got his blessing. And we all had a nice day with family and good friends.

My cute sister Ida turned 9 the same day! She got a build a bear the day before.

My little brother Sondre ready for church.

Siri is a very good babysitter. She played a lot with Daniel, and he enjoyed it very much!

Helsesøster på besøk

I dag har helsesøster vært hos oss. Lillegutt er blitt veiet og målt. Han vokser og blir så stor! Han er nå 9 uker, og er 5600g/59cm. I Danmark kommer alltid helsesøster hjem til familiene, det finnes ikke noen helsestasjon. Jeg synes det ser litt gammeldags ut, når de veier barna i en tøybleie, men det fungerer da fint :-)

New Year !

Its already January. Christmas is over. We had a good christmas time. Steen had a week of work. We stayed home in our house, and Steens mum came over for christmas eve. I got a really great gift from my parents. It came by mail, and it was a printed album from 2010. That was a good suprise! I looked through it many times that night.

New Years eve was celebrated with friends. Steen made the best salamond ever!

Monday morning Steen was supposed to go back to work. But it didnt work out that way. Our little baby boy was born that morning, and he got two more weeks off work! Pretty good timing :-)

He is very cute, and he treats his parents very well. Most of the time he is sleeping or eating.

He doesnt have a name yet, but we are working on it. Hopefully we will soon make a decicion.

We have now enjoyed two weeks together at home. Tomorrow Steen will go back to work, and me and little baby boy will have to find out how to use the days home alone!
