Bjarki’s 11 Year Old Party
[Photos taken on 10 July 2018, posted on 31 December 2018. This is a day of waiting.]
We celebrated Bjarki’s 11 year old birthday with a party at home with family, and some friends. (15-ish images)
Finnur at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia!
[Photos taken on 19-28 June 2018, posted on 30 December 2018. I’m liking this long holiday.]
When Iceland qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup (of men’s soccer) held in Russia, Finnur was on the fence about going, but in the end he applied for tickets, and got tickets to two games: Iceland-Nigeria in Volgograd, and Iceland-Croatia in Rostov. Since we are all about sensible traveling, he flew via Sweden, staying overnight both ways.
While he was away, I held down the fort with Anna’s help, and even made it to the summer house. On the day Finnur returned, Bjarki turned 11 years old!
There are lots of photos here from Finnur, but I don’t really know the story behind them. (150-ish photos total. How did that happen?!)

Big Celebrations and Quiet Times in May 2018
[Photos taken on 20-31 May 2018, posted on 22 December 2018. First day of a 11 day long holiday!]
Towards the tail-end of May we got invited to a Christening, a graduation party, Emma kept practicing biking, we bought a summer house that needed furnishing, and life kept happening at lightning pace! (50-ish images!)

Spring in the Air
[Photos taken on 07-11 May 2018, posted on 03 December 2018. Trying to do small updates and not mega-posts.]
Biking to work, hair cuts, farm-animal park visit, celebration at daycare, and gymnasium opening. It was a busy five days in May!! (24-ish images total)

April Solo Parenting Part 2/2
[Photos taken on 26-29 April 2018, posted on 18 23 November 2018. It is somewhat ironic that Finnur’s has just departed to the UK for another working week in London. ]
The latter part of the week that Finnur spent in jolly old England was about as busy as the first half. I went on a team-building ride with my team-mates from work, went on a nice walk, we attended a birthday party, ate dinner with friends, visited the library downtown, and planted some leeks, among other things!

In-between Yule & New-Year’s
[Photos taken on 27-30 December 2017, posted on 31 July 2018. This post was actually written at home, as I’m feeling I need to wrap up 2017 before returning to work!]
The whole family was on holiday between Yule and New Year’s Eve. We hung out with family and friends, went to the movies, to a show, and tried to generally relax a bit. (12 images total)

Among relaxing activities (for me) was hanging out at the Norðurbakkinn cafe. It’s weirdly difficult to get a symmetric photo of those buildings!

Images From The Past
[Photos of photos taken on 19 August 2017, posted 05 May 2018. It’s still snowing.]
The front room downstairs still needed some attention after the big bedroom-swap, so I attacked the piles of stuff on the bed. Of course I soon feel into nostalgia land, with old class and graduation photos, and some other random darling things! (16 images total)

Found among the piles of paperwork were old class photos. This is my 12 year old class.
Day #11 in St. Brieuc – The Trip Home
[Photos taken on Wednesday 19 July 2017, posted 05 February 2018. Lots of snow in Iceland today.]
Our trip home was pretty uneventful. We spent the evening before tidying and cleaning, reminding me again to ask for a cleaning service for our next airbnb. I’m lazy like that.
We flew from the tiny Rennes airport to the huge Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, and then onwards to Keflavik airport. (20 images total)

Day #10 in St. Brieuc – Shopping & Indoor Playground on a Rainy Day
[Photos taken on Tuesday 18 July 2017, posted 03 February 2018. I just returned from a two-week long work-trip to Canada…]
For our last full day in France, we’d planned to revisit the tree-climbing park due to great demand. Unfortunately, the weather disagreed with our plan with a thunderstorm and rain.

We ended up splitting up, with me and Anna going on a shopping trip downtown, while Finnur took the younger kids to an indoor playground. We then had dinner with Holla and Óli’s gang, who would be staying for a few days longer. (18 images total)
Finnur dropped Anna and myself off by the train station, as there was a massive traffic jam going into downtown. He then drove off to the outskirt of town to visit an indoor playground.
