Sunny, Sunny AZ!

Well, we finally made it down to AZ last night. Our 2 day driving trip was pretty uneventful, and the kids did such a good job while we were driving through the day for the first time, instead of through the night like when they were younger. Silje didn’t get car sick this time, which helped too. Elias has been feeling great, and so have all the other kids, but Knut started feeling sickish at the end of the first day driving. He woke up with a slight fever in the morning, but alas, we continued on, and here we are. Knut is napping a bunch and is starting to recover. The kids should be napping, but they’re having a tough time as they are still so excited.
I have just a few pictures to show. I’m sorry I wasn’t that great at taking pictures during the drive. But here we are, and I’ll try to remedy that. My sister, Heidi, and her son Jack came over this morning, and she took some pictures that I’ll try to get later. I didn’t get the camera out until she had already gone home to put Jack down for his nap.

Here’s Silje and Grammy hanging out and reading books. I’m not sure who’s having more fun! Silje asked Grammy if she had any dress up clothes, and Grammy lemented that she did not. I asked mom if she still had my old flower girl dresses from when I was little, and Mom was so excited to see them get some use again. Here Silje is wearing the dress I wore to my mom’s cousin’s wedding, Pam and Stewart. It’s not a really good shot of the dress, though.

This picture of Knut is crooked because I don’t know how to fix it on my mom’s computer. Knut slept, woke up and read, and is now sleeping again. We’re all hoping he feels better soon, especially Papa who has saved some T-Bone steak just for Knut for this visit that is marinating now.
