busyness

What a crazy last few weeks! The absolute biggest highlight has been Eirik and Lina who came for a visit. They were here for a little over a week and we enjoyed every single second of it! Elias was so excited to see them and loved playing with his aunt and uncle. He even started speaking more norwegian, which was great! We had lots of fun exploring different parts of the Vancouver area and just hanging out. It was incredibly sad to see them go :-( anybody else want to come???!!

One sad happening in the middle of it all was that my gramma was admitted to the hospital after falling. She was pretty touch and go for a while, they even had to revive her at one point, but she is now doing better. Unfortunately she will no longer be able to live in her apartment. So this was all a bit of a shock.

We have all been a bit sick as well. I had bronchitis and am still trying to recover from it. The kids have been coughing and not 100% for over a month now, so that's a bit tiring. Elias has actually been using an inhalor to see if that will help him.

My parents have moved out now so we are in full reno swing. We have ripped out the carpet in the living and dining room and will be installing hardwood floors this weekend in those areas plus the kitchen. Yay! We're also in the middle of painting the rooms as well, so we've had some late nights.

Other than that, we are enjoying life. Aksel is getting close to walking. He is letting go sometimes and standing. He is also obsessed with light switches, and is even saying "off"! Elias and him are having lots of fun together, and definitely starting to fight a bit as well!
