Hi everyone

Well now christmas is over and we are back to Iceland after staying on Tenerife over the holydays.  We had a really nice time, we drove around the island and up to El Teide the highest mountain on Spain.  We also just enjoyed time and went down to the beach and swimming in the ocean.  How nice could it bee??  My parents were also staying at the same hotel so we had a good time with them also.

Now we are having some snow, some people would say that this is the most snow that has been since late on the last century and that might be right.  Today school closed early because of the snow but there is a big snowstorm coming and we have around 50 cm (20 inces) of snow on the ground ready to blow all over the place.  As you know that have visited Iceland we don't have any trees to make the wind blow slower so we are expecting around 20 m/s (45 mph) of wind.

Hi everyone

I haven't been busy writing on the blog but I have been busy doing everything else.  The weather here in Iceland has been more then disscusting the last months rain, snow, rain, wind, snow and soo on.  The sun has officially left us, I hope it is in your country and it better be in Tenerife but we are going there to meet her on friday.  I just said to Svanur the other day "we sure made the right decision last June when we ordered the trip" this is the darkest winter I have ever known.

Well despite of that we are all just doing fine, I work alot as a computer administrator at the school and the kids are growing and doing all kinds of things for fun.  Maríanna was just playing at the National museum (Árbæjarsafni) last weekend and I did send you a link to the video I made but here it is again "Video" if you click on the Public gallery you can also look at some more photos from us.  I will also put in some photos from Tenerife.

The life on the farm is like usual feeding the animals, milking the cows and so on.  I just bought a new horse for Einar Trausti and I also bought a young horse last year for my self.  Hopefully they will be good horses but the horse Einar Trausti had before was a bad one and not good for riding.  I bought him a nice 4 year old mare named Toppa.

Hi again

I have put in some new photos in the webalbum and you should be able to see them hopefully.

Christmas this year was like usual, my mom and dad stayed with us on Christmas eve and I went to Church on Chrismas day to sing.  Then we had the family together at my parents house. The rest of the holyday vas eating and sleaping and a litle walk to take photos and try to have room for more food.

New year we had a mass in our litle church and people from around came to the ceremony.  On new years eve we went to our neighbours house in Foss and there we had fun together.

Now the school is starting tomorrow for me and Thursday for the kids and the same routine is starting well probalbly for the best.
