Well, I finally was able to get my computer hooked onto the internet at a friend of my mother’s home. So, I was able to get some pictures up. I have a lot more to get up but it’s a start!
We are having a good time, but are hoping the weather gets a little better soon. It has been very rainy and cold here the last several days, so we haven’t been able to play at the park lately.
Well, gotta run…. enjoy the new pictures!

Just checking in and wondering if anyone is reading my posts here. Would love to see some comments!
We are still doing well in Ålesund. Lanie has learned to climb stairs on her own, with me very close by of course. She gets a lot of practice since we are on the 4th floor. Her favorite thing to eat here seems to be polser and somedays that is the ONLY thing I can get her to eat. She must be taking after her father, who ate a lot of polser when he visited Norway.
Well my time on the computer at the library is about up, so I will post more later. Still haven’t been able to get on a wireless network due to a problem with my AC adaptor. I have ordered a replacement so once I get it I will be out looking for a wireless network again! Then maybe I can get some pictures posted!

Today, we were out shopping at a shopping center in Ålesund and decided to stop in a kiosk (convenience store) to get a couple of polser (Norwegian hot dogs – so much better than American hot dogs!). While I was paying, apparently Alana decided she wanted a Kvikk Lunsj ( a candy bar similar to a Kit Kat). I didn’t notice and neither did my mother until we got down the hall to sit down and eat our polser. Alana had started eating through the wrapper to get to the chocolate! I did go back to the kiosk and paid the 11 kroner for the candy bar and everyone had a good laugh. I’ll definitely be keeping a closer eye on her in the stores from now on! I took some pictures of her with her booty, and will post them as soon as I can!

This is the first chance I have gotten to get online to post anything, and unfortunately I won’t be able to post any pictures yet, but hopefully, soon! We are having a great time here in Ålesund, and Alana seems to really be enjoying herself. We go walking into town every day and she just loves to be outside. So far the weather has been very nice and we haven’t had too much rain.
The plane trip over was a bit of an ordeal, but Alana did very well through it all.
I have to get off the computer now, but I will write more later, and as soon as I find a wireless network I can log into I will post some pictures!

Tomorrow Alana and I are leaving for our big trip to Norway! It is Alana’s first trip out of the country and we will be gone for 6 weeks. We will be traveling and staying with my mother in her hometown of Aalesund. I am excited and anxious all at the same time. Alana and I went to Pennsylvania just over a week ago, and I have been busy trying to get ready for this trip for the past week. Of course, I am still not ready and will be up most of the night to finish what I need to.
I know everyone left behind here will miss Lanie and I will try to get pictures posted while we are there if at all possible. I hope everyone else has a great summer!
