Jonatan lost his third tooth: he already has two new bottom teeth, but now he will have to do without one top one for a while 

We just got back from our last camping trip this summer: friday evening and saturday the weather was wonderful, sunday the weather was awful (at least in the morning), but we had a great time with the two main ingredients for a perfect summer weekend: good company and good food.  

What's cooking in the witchs pot?  

Icelandic Summer: we had a wonderful weekend in the south of Iceland, not far from Skalholt, from left to right: Brynja, Valdimar, Gretar, Nonni, Berglind and Tota and Jon Svan standing behind them 

Brynja Oskarsdottir with Pjakkur which is the new dog Thorarinn got, he is truly a lapdog, I am sure Rachel (Leah s friend) would just LOVE him.  

You can never be to careful with milk: Hulda Kristin Valdimarsdottir  

Boys! Arni Brynjar Valdimarsson  

It�s a dogs life! When Nonni layed down on the blanket, Snupa - Valdimars dog - did exactly the same..hilarious! 

So we are digging up our backyard, and putting in sand instead. It is not completely finished yet, but we are getting there. 

Between our garden and the neighbours' , Nonni and Bardur have made a fence, which is starting to look good (we still have to make repairs to the cement underthingie) 

last picture today: the plants we planted last summer have grown quite a bit in the wet weather we have been experiencing 

Esjan-July 22nd, the weather was perfect, and this time all four of us made it to the top, as opposed to 3 years ago when we did not trust to let Jonatan go the last 50 meters. The trip up and down including stops, lunch, a few small mishaps and picture taking took about 3 hours. 

Yesterday, there was a huge sail ship in the Reykjavik harbour, attracting hundreds of curious people (including us) who were enjoying the first wonderful summerevening with SUN here in Reykjav�k this summer!  

In this picture Jonatan is warming up for Italy, posing with two Russian sailors, just as he did with two italian policemen two years ago 

Jonatan caught 4 fish. One was sooooo big, it tore the wheel from the fishing rod and disappeared into the water!  

Thorarinn Jon Svan- son with the first catch of the day: it was his birthday (he is 9) so it is very appropriate that he caught the first one.  

163 days til Christmas - do I need to say more 

We visited the christmas house in Akureyri, and this little "turf house" was outside in the garden.  

We were looking for the sun, but spent most of the time inside our trailer, playing games and trying to figure out whether the weather was going to get better or worse....3 days in Akureyri and ONCE we managed to eat our hot dogs outside, all other meals had to be consumed inside the tent... 

Summer in Iceland: these kids have been playing together a lot lately, both inside and outside...Elin, Enok, Jonatan and Jakob Martin 

This past weekend, the first big summer weekend, we went for our annual family reunion weekend trip to Husafell, and although this time we were not all there, we still made some good memories, as my husband calls this. From left to right on this picture: Halli, Brynhildur, Kristin Fjola, Asthildur, Kiddi, Steingerdur, Helga Maria (not looking), Jon Bergthor, and yours truly. 

Johnny with his wild hair!  

Of course, Elin, our experienced jockey had no trouble with horse. 

Jonatan went horseback riding for the first time in his life at Bjarnastadir. After 10 minutes he knew everything there is to know about it - at least that is what he said. The horses name is Dora 

Pottenkijkers: Asthildur and Kristin Fjola
