Hi everyone
Well summer has arrived in Iceland and is even erlier than usual if anything. We have had a good spring and the lambs came as usual and now they are all gone to the mountains to grow bigger before fall. Everything is as usual here in Tungufell. I have been working alot at school and the last few months has been busy. As you maybe remember I have been a computer administrator at the computer system in our school and our community. Now in August I will start a whole new job in Selfoss as an computer administrator in a big company that serves all the communities in Southern Iceland. That includes schools, hospitals and goverment buildings. Whell my english came in handy as usual but I am having no trouble reading instructions and learning about the new technology in computers. I am very exited to start this job but one of the administrators working at the company hunted me into this work, so they came to me and asked me if I wanted to work for them.
Marianna is now almost 13 years old and is now working at a farm about 20 min driving from us. She is babysitting for a friend of mine and is staying at her home. Einar Trausti is almost 10 and is here in Tungufell working as a cowboy and feeding the lambs that has lost their mother. The harvesting is about to start a week earlyer than usual but I am glad maybe we can go for a summer vacation this year.
I wish you all the best and please make a comment if you read this. Also look at the photos on http://picasaweb.google.com/elitraus

Hi hi
Long time no writing, I have finally been able to start my summervacation even though it should have started long time ago. Now we are harvesting and longing for some rain but it hasn't rained since beginning of June.
Work has been busy and also the new womens choir I am in charge of, we went to the northside of the country in beginning of June to meet othe womens choirs and a choirdirector from the USA named Lynnel Joy Jenkins. It was livechanging to meet her and spend four days in her hands singing an enjoying life.
I was going to visit in Michigan this summer but because of this choir thing I didn't have the time to go but I have not at all forgotten about you guys and am trying to find the time to come for a visit.
I have gotten a promotion at my work and I am now head of the IT department. That means more money for me and more time to do my job. 
We are going to Finland in the midle of August with the school and I am more or less in charge of that trip. That is also why I couldn't got to the States for a visit. To many trips in one summer.
We have decided the family that is me, Svanur and the kids and my mom and dad to go to Tenerife in Canary Islands during the Christmas. That is the only time I can drag Svanur away from the cows.
All though we are all doing fine and I hope you are too.
Love
