Wednesday, October 14

A typical new day.

Early morning baking.

View of the glacier.
Picking pinecones



And the twins at work.



Top excitement today was the run-away sheep in the garden and the fantastic crispy autumn weather. Now the little ones are asleep and I'm checking up on emails, reading the news and drinking cortados. The sun is flooding in through the windows, with a spectacular view of the Hardanger Fjord and the Folgefonna Glacier.

Life is far from dull. Life as housewife rocks. I get to hang out with my children, run around outside, do waldorf watercolour painting,- all at the same time I get to read counter insurgency briefings, Hezbollah papers and do my masters research.

Jasmin had her first real visitor a few days ago. Her first real friend, who goes to her Kindergarden, and happens to live right next to us in the new house. Having a dialogue on how much freedom to give a four year old, concerning running down tot he neighbours alone, playing outside unsupervised.. Been using The Parenting Passageway a lot lately, which I highly recommend.

  1. For en nydelig utsikt dere har! Jeg skulle gjerne ha vært hjemmeværende noen år, men hvordan få råd til det? Du har så rett i at det er langt fra kjedelig :-D
