Greetings! 
Jonas and Elsa are really starting to get into the summer swing of things.  With the weather so nice, it has been such a treat to let the kids run and play in the backyard!  They love to dig, and run, and throw baseballs, kick soccer balls, and play.  It is great!  (the weather has now turned a bit--rain rain go away:)

Jonas and Elsa are really excited because they have their first gymnastics performance.  It is a end of the school year program and they are going to do great.  You can expect lots of pictures and stories in the next couple of weeks leading up to this event. 

Dan spent most of last week indoctrinating Elsa and Jonas about the Norwegian Flag and Norwegian Constitution Day (May 17th).  He tried, unsuccessfully, to get them to greet everyone with a friendly "Hip Hip Hurrah, syttende mai!"  There is more work to do.

Pictures will return this weekend!
God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
