Our view and update

Hello to everyone. It has taken a while to figure out how to post from my iPad, but I think I have it figured out.  We have had an interesting move.  It was hard and I really wanted to come back to the states.  I think we are settled, just a few more things to organize and put away.  

I had looked up some things before we got here and one of those things was snakes.  Norway has three, and one is poisonous.  I asked about them when we got here and no one had ever seen one.  Well we went on a hike and the girls were running around this lake.  AN stopped and screamed SNAKE.  She moved back and we ran to her and sure enough there was a snake.  It was not aggressive and just kind of slithered away.  Before it could get away all the Norwegians came running to "see" the snake.  I asked one of them why and they said they never see snakes.  It was of course the European viper.  They are not bad like the snakes in the states.  It is not aggressive and will bite if picked up or stepped on.  Anyway I have decided that we are the 1%.

T and N have started school and they seem to like it.  AY and AN are continuing to be homeschooled. We are trying to catch up from having to miss so much from the move.  

AY and AN have started gymnastics and seem to like it.  We found the atypical coach here.  She really pushes the girls and expects them to do things.  That is not normal for here.  They do not push their kids.  It is a much more laid back attitude.  

We have found a church.  It is not what we are use to and at times is hard to take.  The songs are really hard after coming from such a good church.  

The picture with this post is the view from my kitchen.  You can see the city and the mountains the fjord.

Enjoy your day.
