My birthday boy - 4 years old!

Here is my birthday boy, yesterday he turned 4 years old! One of his biggest wishes for the day, was to get a Star Wars laser sword. His grandparents gave him that! He was so happy :) I think it was the most popular toy he got, besides for a Ben Ten "watch".

Anyhow, despite the tough days for us now, with my husband (my sons father) in hospital we had a really nice celebration. He got cake and lots of presents, and we had a lot of children and parents to celebrate the day with us.

Well I am soon off to my daily visit at the hospital... it's really hard, but I need to go. Just to see him and hold his hand. Even though he's all asleep in a medical ventilator, I pray and hope he hears my voice. Maybe it comforts him to hear me talking to him. The nurses all say that the last sense you lose before you fall asleep is your hearing ability. Have a nice Sunday!

{Celebrating May 17th National Day}

A couple of photos of my sweet boy celebrating our National Day. He was so cute with his new clothes and his small flag.

{Wedding card - Wiff of Joy} and a photo

I've made this card on request for a co-worker and a friend. She's attending a wedding this forthcoming Saturday. I made a card size 22cmx15cm, quite big. The stamps are from the new Wiff of Joy (wedding and baby collection). The idea of making the couple in a frame is borrowed from Camilla. I hope she doesn't mind me doing that. The paper's are from my scrap drawer. Other supplies are: stamps from Stempelglede (wedding), charms from Unik Hobby, ribbon from Panduro, and Prima. The pearls are Kaisercraft and Melissa Frances.

Inside card:

Last, but not least is a photo of my little family. We went to Drammen (city outside Oslo) Sunday to visit my sister in law.

{Card on request and a photo}

I was asked to make a card for a co-worker who just got her second baby for 2 weeks ago. I hope to send the gift and card to her this upcoming week. The paper is from Papirdesign, lots of nice sentiments on newborn baby boys... I just cut out some sentiments and it was quite a quick card this time.

This photo is from the Summer party in my son's kindergarten!:

{On the horse!}

My son in the park Saturday. He wanted to sit on a horse (statue). He gave me the biggest smile, and I took this photo with my mobile phone. Cute, isn't he? The weather was much better Sunday, but I didn't take any photos then, only my husband. I don't have any of those photos here. :) Enjoy your Easter holiday!

{Learing how to stamp?}

Today my son and I bought some crafting stuff for him. Some 'plastelina', Hama beads and a stamp set for kids. The stamps were actually quite nice. My son borrowed my Versa mark ink. Lot of fun for us both! This is perfect for me, since I can get some crafting done, when he's sitting next to me! :) And he sits quite still for a little time!

{Vacation in Vietnam?}

This photo of my son was taken in Vietnam, outside Nha Trang (south of Vietnam) February 2008... We went with boat out to a totally desertet island, with only a small family living there. A 'private beach' and eating sea food in the families back yard... Peders dad took this lovely photo when our son sat down on the stairs...

It was a lovely vacation, with a lot of sun, lovely food and very happy days with our friends there.

Yesterday we got an invitation from our Vietnamese friends - they live in Oslo - to go with them and spend some weeks this summer in Vietnam.

They are going there to celebrate a family members 70th birthday. And they asked us to join them. So, if we get the time off at work, and some other things turns out right, maybe we'll go!!!

And I remember last year, I thought there would be at least 2 years 'till we would go....

Oh... I'm looking forward to sun and summer - and maybe in Vietnam with our friends! :)
