I guess I should really update our blog, since it has been like two months... yeah, I am not that great at doing this whole thing, but I will try and do better. 

We are now in Norway, which was an awful, awful trip, but we are here and although it has been almost 10 days of sickness - I think we are on the right track to wellness. I am just so thankful that we have 5 weeks here to make up for the last couple weeks of "He.. double hockey sticks". The trip would have been great, but Mika was really sick, and I mean really sick. He could have been on a "World Vision" commercial I am sure of it. He had the flu, and it hit him hard. His eyes were so swollen and full of goo that most of the time you couldn't even see his eyes. His fever was very high, and I could not get it down and we were flying across the world. It was bad. His ears hurt him so bad, and his face was so sad and miserable. I felt like an awful parent and cried a lot during the flights. The worst part was that we had a layover in Zurich for 15 hours... All Mika wanted to do was sleep and so thank God, the airport there had a baby room with cribs and toys and everything you need to take care of your baby. So note to those traveling lots... Go through Zurich if you can. 

So maybe I should back track a little... Magnus finished school and then we cleaned and moved out of our house on the lake once again. May 12th we went to Oregon for a couple of weeks and had a great time down there catching up with family. Mika really enjoyed his Grandma and Auntie Nora. Then we came back up to Canada for Magnu's Graduation, which went really well and Magnus once again came away with the highest awards the college offers. The Governor General Award and the Bachelor of Business Award. We then do a road trip to Calgary to visit friends, which was Great! and then on to Saskatoon to visit some other friends. We left from Saskatoon to Norway. A crazy trip, but we are here now and enjoying the summer here in Norway.  Although a little too hot for me at times ( I am a coastal girl at heart I think ), it is good to be here with the family. 

So that is our little update, and I will hopefully put up more soon.
