Filling in the November 2015 Hole
[Photos from 1 to 26 (!!!) November 2015, posted online on 16 March 2016. This is what guilt looks like!]
This past autumn somehow, slowly but surely, crushed me.
By the time the kids were taken care of by 9 pm, I was totally done for, and blogging (which I enjoy, darnit!) rarely happened. Documenting our busy summer months took half of forever, so when I looked back over the year in January, I discovered I’d posted ZERO things from November. That hasn’t happened in years…
Since November (and the autumn in general) still taunts me, I’m going to try and give it a little love. I hope you bear with me! (42 images total)

The Tail-End of October 2015
[Photos from 19 to 31 October 2015, posted online on 7 April 2016. The Icelandic political situation is depressing.]
Just photos from the tail end of October of last year. Bits, and bobs, as usual. (20 images total. Note the first version of this post only had 11, as it didn’t include Halloween.)
Monday 19 October 2015
A charging post was installed at my workplace, and I decided to finally test it out. It seems about as efficient as the one we’ve got in the garage at home.
An Autumn Day at Home
[Photos taken on 10 October 2015, put online on 11 October 2015. Current stuff!]
I realized with some surprise that I’d yet to take a single photo of the autumn colors. So right before heading off to Canada for a week, I got two of the kids to go outside and pose for photos.
Earlier in the morning I also took some photos during ‘computer time’, except the tablet Emma was going to watch was out of batteries, so she ended up painting, the poor thing. Yes, this post only has photos of the kids. My privilege. (24 images total)
Kids being unusually cooperative for two seconds. And yes, Emma’s begun to figure out how biking works, but she’s very slow still.
Airport, Dinner, Art (FFF-style), and Kids
[Photos from 01 to 05 October 2015, posted online 26 March 2016. Yup, that’s the wrong year.]
My digging into the photo-vaults continues. This time it’s October 2015.
This post has me driving my mom to the airport, us visiting friends for dinner, me going downtown to look at some art and hanging out at a new cafe, and the kids being cute. (27 images total)

The State of Things – Fall 2015 Edition
I spent so much time trying to finish blogging most of July, that August seemingly never happened. Hoping to start fixing that soon. But, in the meantime, a quick status update, going from youngest to oldest. Emma, the rascal, has potty trained herself, and now goes without diapers except at night, or on long carRead more
Daily life, Lots of Bjarki and Emma
[Photos from 12-14 September 2015, posted online 23 November 2015. Procrastinating like crazy!]
More random photos from the phone. Snapshots of life being lived, I guess! (10 images total)

Life Trundles on as September Begins
[Photos from 1 to 10 September 2015, posted online 18 November 2015. The stubbornness is strong in this one.]
Just a collection of random snapshots from the first ten days of September as life returned to “normal”. (10 images total)

The Rest of August
[Photos from 22 to 30 AUGUST 2015, put online on 15 November 2015. Dark days.]
I’m collecting the end of August into one post. We did a thing or two, but nothing massively massive. (25 images total)

Anna and Emma at the Subway stop leading out of the city. Our destination: the summer house in Laugarvatn with some friends.
Spring?
These lethargic pictures from last week are making me lethargic just looking at them so here is some happier fare! Bjarki finally went to daycare today after finally having a full fever-free day yesterday, after five days of fever-episodes. What is it with our kids and waking up with little to no fever, only toRead more
A Lethargic Week
This past week, all of us but Finnur have fallen ill. Anna took the first shift, waking up warm on Monday, and then spending ALL of Tuesday sleeping (‘Can I go on the computer?’, ‘Yes’, ‘zzzzzz….’) before being mostly herself again on Wednesday. As she was getting better, I succumbed, and spent Wednesday afternoon untilRead more
