Sorry I have not blogged in a few weeks but I think life is getting pretty normal. Sondre has been busy with both school and football and he has not been feeling too well for the last 3 weeks. He has had a nasty cold that just does not seem to want to go away. He missed one day of school and the big football game vs. Wayzata last Friday. They lost...their first loss of the year--must have been because Sondre was not there.
In a few weeks it is Senior Night at a football game and all of the players that are Seniors and their parents are introduced. They are doing a catalog of the kids and wanted a picture of when Sondre was younger so we used this one (cut out of a picture that Synne set me before Sondre came)...look at what a little cutie he was.
Sondre as a kid (not sure how old he is)
Sondre (17)...his taste in suits certainly has not changed. :)
Tomorrow we are all going to Winona to watch Alex play UMD (University of Minnesota--Duluth)...we rented a house (way cheaper than a bunch of hotel rooms) that sleeps 12 so it will be perfect for us. Courtney, Ryan, Amelia are coming with Scott, Sondre and me and then my nephew (Ben) and his girlfriend (Ala) will join us there since they go to college in Winona. Alex will join us after the game for a bonfire and Scott's famous roast beef sandwiches. The adults may have a beer or glass of wine too.
We have had unseasonably warm weather so it still feels like summer...which we love. Sondre is getting ready for winter and ordered a new winter jacket from this great little Ski store in Wayzata. He said it is so much cheaper here in the US so I guess it is a good deal. Not sure when the cold weather will hit, but he will be ready.
School seems to be going well...his grades are good and it does not seem to be too hard for him. Once football is over I am sure there will be more time for social activities but the coaches keep these kids pretty busy with practice and games. He is trying to decide if he wants to play a winter sport like Alpine skiing. More to come on that. Scott is going to strongly encourage that he join the ski team. The coaches love Norwegians on the team...they think you all were born with skiis on our feet. :)
Will blog again soon....hope you are all doing well!
Alix and Scott
