This afternoon Karl, Matthew and I went to the birthday party of our littlest nephew Daniel, who turned 2 
Great turn out, lots of kids and five big kids (us three plus our step-newphew Stefan plus our eldest brother Palli) as well as the various older family relatives of Sigga and Hafþor.
As well as eating lots of cake, berries and other goodies, we spent some great time outside in the gorgeous sunlight, rolling and horseing round in the lush green grass, throwing the frisbee, chasing after Daniel as he attempted his escape missions again and again.
Lots of fun
Here is the birthday boy with Karl

Karyn and I found out tonight that I am related to her husband, dating back ten generations to the mid 1600’s - very cool
I went flying with Toti and Matthew last night, which was amazing!!! Seeing Iceland from the air was just so so incredible, seeing the lava flows, the glaciated mountains which now have flat tops, the current glaciers, the drainage ditches etc, etc, etc it was amazing So grateful for Toti taking us up in the plane.
Hanging out with some of my brothers and sisters tonight, playing Fisheries (Icelandic board game similar to Squatter for the Aussies, where you have control a fishing fleet and have to survive the obstacles thrown at you - similar to monoploy but not really), talking and heaps of laughing as always.
Tommorow Karl, Matthew and I are thinking of going up a mountain near here, checking out some viking ruins, getting some shopping done and then hitting the night life tommorow night.
I have put up two new photos over on the plog. I also plan on making some new header images as well in the forthcoming days.
Nothing really exciting to say other than, that I am having a great time, Icelandic Beer is quite nice as is everything else
two weeks with only 5mins of internet time to check my uni results - I did great!
heaps of photos to sort through, so much to write.
will get some stuff up in a couple of hours.
quick word to a very special chica in my life - you deserved it!
má ég taka mynd - the phrase that cames out of Birta’s mouth all the time when she sees a camera, it means may I take a photo. Over the course of the weekend, from the 200 photos I took, I estimate over half of them were taken either by Birta or her sister Silja and then sometimes as well Matthew.
All in all the weekend was a great time, the sun shined m ost of the time, the wind was always there and the grass was always green.
Our time was fillled tickling little family members, damming rivers, skimming stones at the beach, eating and singing (a lot), it was filled with laughter,
We are back at Karl’s house now and where we picked up mum’s sister Margaret who is joining us on our trip round the country.
We are off to stay with one of my aunts tonight and then off to visit the west fjords where my parents used to live.
