The Stavdals

Look at her! Isn't she just an adorable and irrestistable Newfoundland puppy? She is ours, but is still with her mum and siblings at the Kamperhaugbamsen kennel farm in Halden. She was born on May 12 2009, and is one of seven puppies. In this picture taken yesterday, she is seven weeks old. We are looking forward to picking her up at the end of our summer holiday.

Andreas and his buddy Jacob were given the school project task of making a playback music video for music class. Doing the planning, memorizing the lyrics, the moves and piecing it all together like they did using only a cellphone camera and the editing tool MS Movie Maker, I found impressing enough to share here, with their permission, may I add. It was overcast during the shooting, creating perfect light for the somewhat melancholy song "Incomplete" by Backstreet Boys. I believe they also worked till 5 am before their music video was completed. Pretty good work, in my mind. Take a look!

Huge crowds of people gathered to watch King Harald, Queen Sonja and Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, with her consort Jean-Daniel Lafond, on a 200 metre stroll down Tromsø main street on Thursday, April 30.

At 9 Mathias can already do giants on high bar. He practises about 2,5 hours three times a week. Here you can see the first time he did giants on high bar all on his own. His trainers were proud, and his parents, of course.

The Endo is a free straddle circle forward through handstand, and now Andreas is sufficiently confident to include it in his routine in the Norwegian Cup in Stavanger at the end of February 2009. Here is a videoclip from a practise this week where he did a beatuful ENDO!

Hun jeg er gift med, Katariina, har så lenge jeg har kjent henne rett og slett ikke klart å holde fingrene unna barneklær. Nå har hun nettopp lansert nettbutikk med det klingende domenenavnet litenoglekker.no der hun selger lekkert barnetøy av bl.a. kvalitetsmerkene Kivat, Julia og Jonathan, Drappa Dot og Fuzzies. Tenkte fortelle litt om hvordan vi har fått dette til;)
