Easter Remains, Hair-Cuts & Spring Growth
[Photos from 22 April – 30 April 2019, posted online 13 October 2019. October seems to be speeding along faster than September did. Time is weird.]
The kids got their Icelandic chocolate Easter Eggs very shortly after we arrived home from the airport, having just returned from the UK.
Life-as-usual returned abruptly the next day, with the added dimension of hair-cuts for the kiddos, a birthday party, and kiddos going outside after dinner to play with the other kids in the street.
My ‘actual’ camera even got to go out to play a bit! (30-ish images total)

UK Easter Break
[Photos from 18 – 22 April 2019, posted online 07 October 2019. Hey, it’s a brand new week!]
Early on a Thursday morning I made my way to Keflavik airport, and flew to London, arriving early enough that I could take the kids to a trampoline park in the afternoon!
The following days, Anna and I went shopping, and the two of us also journeyed to London where we met Pétur & Signý for lunch, and saw Hamilton!
On Easter Day, the kids got huge chocolate eggs, we ate fantastic food, and also took the younger kids on a walk, and to two playgrounds. Anna claimed she was too old for those outings!!
On the Monday after Easter Day, we hugged our hosts goodbye, and flew on home to Iceland, where happily the weather had turned for the better. (80-ish photos total!)

Easter Approaches
[Photos from 09 April to 17 April 2019, posted online 05 October 2019. Lots of strong wind overnight, now it’s pouring with rain. Fall is here!.]
With Finnur in Toronto, it was survival mode for most of the week. Shortly after Finnur arrived back, the school Easter break began, and that Sunday he took the kids to the UK to visit and stay at their granddad’s place for the week, while he worked at the Google office in London.
I remained in Iceland, as I didn’t have any vacation days left, but used the peace and quiet to tidy up two kiddie-rooms that had completely gone over to the trashy-side. (Side note: Why am I solely responsible for the kiddie rooms? How’d that happen?!) (45-ish images total!)

Winter? Spring? Sports!
[Photos taken on 01 April to 07 April 2019, posted online 30 September 2019. The past few days have been positively balmy in Iceland, so nice!]
Winter wasn’t quite ready to succumb to spring, but slowly and surely, it had no choice. The family kept being sporty, and one date-night happened. Then Finnur took off to Toronto, and I took the younger kids to the farm animal park, and discovered it was it was in the process of being renovated. (25-ish images total.)
