For the tech-savvies, we have decided to host the family blog on our on domain. And switch over to using WordPress instead of Blogger because of its slick and easy control panel :-)

Hope this is not causing to much frustration for you...

Planting this season's flowers

Rachel and I had a really nice daddy-daughter time this afternoon. In fact, we have had the time to hang out together a lot lately since Maria is doing a Norwegian course. She has been taking classes four times a seek for six weeks now. She'll take the final test next Saturday. That will open up the door for her to study at university level here in Norway. Here is a picture of Rachel and I setting the flowers and another of her playing on the balcony.

Rachel is standing up!

Rachel has just learned how to stand up on her own. Check out the movie!

Playing in the snow

Check out this video. We had lots of fun playing in the snow today. The weather has been REALLY nice lately. The sun is starting to stick around much longer now than a few weeks back...

Torn muscle

I tore my left calf muscle half way through my workout session this morning. It was not a very pleasant feeling. Don't worry, I won't use it as an excuse to take it easy the rest of the week. Nothing can stop me now. Running up-hill didn't hurt that much but otherwise I felt it every step.

The good news is that I broke my own record for the 7 km lap. I did it in 44 minutes and 6 seconds. I plan to increase the route to 10 km when I am able to run the 7 km in 40 minutes. It seems as that won't be to far away. Maybe in two weeks...
