Sledging in Bergen

We are on a short "working" trip to Bergen where we will be taking a DISK personality profile licensing course - beware, we shall be tracking you down and testing you shortly!

Meanwhile, we managed a little bit of recreation - with a day's sledging & skiing near to Gullbotn, about 40 minutes from Bergen. Eden absolutley loved it!!



Tias has enjoyed splashing in the bath more than being out in the snow.

Long-lasting; value for money

Hey, today we thought we'd share with the world something that has been part of our family for nearly two and a half years now, and that is a bottle of Mothercare Conditioning Baby Shampoo! It was bought for us at Silje's baby shower party before Eden was born, and is the only bottle of baby shampoo we've ever had, and now, sadly, it's empty after bathtime tonight. We mark the end of an era (and recognise the fact that we produce kids with very little hair - its not that we never wash them!)

Too much time on our hands!

Surely this is what you must be thinking! Anyway, decided it was time to change the look of howes-house a bit since it all got a bit messed up cos the webspace that we used has gone now anyway, so it needed a bit of attention, why not play a bit too. Hope you like it!

(ps. we chose the colour scheme in honour of our new car... a vauxhall zafira...which is maroon!)

Picture is of Eden, Tias (check out those cheeks!) and Kirstyn Hoile fitting snugly in aforementioned vehicle!

Our secret identity

Silje as Queen Amidala (Armadillo?) and Nick as Han Solo at Gareth Duffty's 50th birthday party!

A good fun evening - comedy thing was we met up with very good friends Andy & Christina Larkum - he was Han Solo and she was Queen Amidala.

Today is a lazy Saturday at home - Silje slept until 10am! Luxury.

Visitors!

Hi there. We've had a really tough and testing week with Silje's sister Eva Mari and her fiancee Haakon visiting us. We are so exhausted by their visit that we can't even be bothered to write about it, so you'll have to see what they've written about their trip instead...

(only joking about it being a tough week - we've had lots of fun and they have been very well behaved house guests!)
