Dinner with Ragnar, Agnes and their Munchkins
[Photos from Sunday 06 March 2016, posted online 10 March 2016. It hasn’t even been a whole week!]
Ragnar and Agnes (or Agnar and Ragnes, as I usually miscall them, oh brain!) are old friends of Finnur’s. They’re good fun to be around, but live psychologically far away, so we never used to meet up with them much. (They live only 30 minutes away by car, but it involves driving across barren land towards Keflavik airport, making the trip feel much longer.)
Then, during a stroke of genius, we started planning our next meeting before the current one ended, some 6 weeks in the future. Of course, rescheduling happens, but once it’s on the calendar, chances are we’ll actually meet up sooner rather than never.
As it happened, it was Agnes’ birthday (!!!), but they still came over, and we all had a lovely time.
Some photos from my corner on the couch follow… (11 images total)
Agnes, the birthday babe, with her second born.
The manly men cooking and setting the table. They do it so well! 🙂
The third born, fresh from playing outside in the snow with the other kids. It was a gorgeous day outside, I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo out the window!
Dinner about to begin!
The teens are strong in these two. Anna’s “long suffering”-look is almost patentable!
The rest of the kids aren’t quite as life-weary yet, thank goodness!
Post-dinner (tenderloin/nautalund with Bearnaise sauce, yummm!), I spotted Emma with this weird thing on her neck…
Turns out it was a tiny Doc McStuffins (Dóta læknir) stethoscope (hlustunarpípa)!
Father and son.
I spy with my little eye…
… the fourth offspring of Ragnar and Agnes! Happily, she and Emma get on really really well, much like the rest of the kids. Yay! 🙂
