Haircut Day!!!

We all got haircuts today - some more than others. How fun!

My Broken Finger

Playing football with the kids I caught the ball wrong and broke my finger. I waited two weeks because I thought it was jammed before I decided to go to the doctor and get it looked at. I was in Norway during one of the weeks. The doctor assured me it was broken and scheduled me for surgery last Monday. I now have two pins through my finger and a partial cast.

My trip to Norway

Here are some pictures from my trip to Oslo.

This is the Viking Museum.

Here are some pictures of the Oseberg Ship. It sailed between 850 -820 A.D.

This is the Gokstad Ship. It was built around 890 AD.

Here are some houses from the Folk Museum.

Notice the grass growing on the roof.

These homes were built in the 1700's.

First Day of School

Today was the kids first day of school. Camille started Kindergarten, Brooke third grade and Jordan is now in middle school, 6th.

Summer's over :(

School starts on Monday, August 20 so today was the last day of vacation. Yesterday was filled with helping Jordan with his lawn service company, slurpees, swimming and then Jordan and I went golfing.

Here are some pictures from the pool today. Jackson and Camille have developed into quite the little swimmers.

Families' eldest boys do best on tests

I know this isn't new news to you all, but thought you would be interested in the evidence.

Boys at the top of the pecking order — either by birth or because their older siblings died — score higher on IQ tests than their younger brothers...
