7 Sep 2015 – A Weekend of Birthdays Celebrations

Fri: May is 37 today and how is it possible when it seems like yesterday that she was born. Happy Bday to my beautiful second-born. Took Olai to his day care thinking he would be quite excited as they will be celebrating his Bday there today since the daycare will be closed for the weekend.

On the door there was a sign wishing him a Happy Bday and the flag was out. Alas he was quite unhappy telling everyone clearly that it was NOT his Bday today but it was his mother’s Bday. This sweet child definitely has a thoughtful disposition and how I just wanted to give him the biggest hug…

Moved on to do some grocery and flower shopping. All’s well that ends well. May picked him up at daycare and they decided to celebrate his day on Mon which will make a wonderful long weekend of celebrations for my youngest grandchild.

Sat: happy 4Bday to my youngest grandchild who is now bi-lingual and really wonderful to hear him speaking Norwegian to his father and then turning around to speak English to May.

Olai who now has a very slight resemblance to his father, Bjørn – before his 4th bday I could only see May in him…

Sun: M&B are very brave to have 12 daycare kids over for a 2hrs bday celebrations. Even I stayed away from the backyard and took pix from the balcony!

Blessed with beautiful weather – a good time was had by all on the trampoline, soap-bubbles, chalk-drawing, football. They left happy with stomachs full of hotdogs, marshmallows, cakes, etc. Olai is full of energy and excitement to start his 4th year in his life journey.

And yes, my life revolves around Olai when I am here 🙂 🙂 🙂
