Finnur and Anna on the other hand were out and about: Finnur reclaimed his passport from the US Embassy with the required update, they visited Finnur&#8217;s grandfather, and then ended up at my mom&#8217;s place.  Around 5pm, Finnur&#8217;s siblings and their human accessories all gathered at home-base to a) celebrate Finnur&#8217;s dad&#8217;s birthday, b) say goodbye to us and c) say goodbye to Steinunn who will be spending the winter in Denmark doing her graduate work in psychology. <\/p>\n<p>After the party was over, and Bjarki finally succumbed to sleep after all the excitement, we headed out to say a formal goodbye to my dad, and then ended up at Gu\u00f0r\u00fan&#8217;s and Snorri&#8217;s place for a quick chat, that was originally envisioned as a game session, but postponed due to Bjarki&#8217;s late bedtime.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tuesday<\/b><br \/>Finnur and Bjarki spent the day at home-base.  Meanwhile, Anna and I braved the dubious looking clouds and headed to grandma Hrefna&#8217;s summer-house (50 min driving distance) to pick berries.  We picked quite a few before it started raining, after which I ventured out alone in full rain-gear up the hill for some more.  It was lovely and I&#8217;ve already posted a couple of pictures.  We drove back into town around dinner time and donated some berries to my mom.<\/p>\n<p>Bjarki took his sweet time falling asleep for the night, but when he finally did succumb (10pm-ish), we took off to Holla and \u00d3li&#8217;s to give \u00d3li a Happy Birthday-hug. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><b>Wednesday<\/b><br \/>We slept in to about 10am.  Around 2pm I took Anna to visit Hj\u00f6rd\u00eds, to finally see her newest little boy, Helgi, who shares my birthday!  Afterwards we headed to N\u00f6kkvi and J\u00f3hanna&#8217;s place for a family meal &#8211; a delicious seafood soup plus ice cream for dessert.  I don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;ll ever wean Anna off of ice cream for dessert after this trip!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Instead of waiting around for Bjarki to fall asleep, we this time took off around 10pm to visit Gu\u00f0r\u00fan and Snorri again, but this time we actually managed to play a game: Munchkins.  Finnur won the first one, and I won the second &#8211; it helped having a Really Impressive Title (No Value) of Doom!!
