The first few days...

I apologies for the large amount of time it has taken for any posts to be published to this blog.  The first few days in Norway have been busy, yet exciting.  Blake has adjusted to his new home quite well.  The property we're residing in, is an apartment connected to a larger home.  At one time, this property was a functioning farm.  There is a large yard, field area, and a barn for storage.  The apartment is great for Kristine, Blake, and myself.  It contains a large living room/dining area, 1 1/2 bath, 2 small storage rooms, a bedroom, and of course, a kitchen.  Most of the apartment has been updated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.  Kristine and I enjoy the easy access to our patio area with doors leading out from the living room and our bedroom.  This also makes it nice for letting Blake outside.  The aspect I love most about Norwegian homes is that there usually is no carpet and lots of natural light.  There will be pictures of our apartment coming soon, considering that we're in the process of sprucing it up a bit with new curtains, plants, TV, washing machine, grill, a bed, etc...During this time, we're keeping our eyes open for a good deal on a car.  We're looking into a four door car with a hatch-back for Blake.  We're hoping to make a purchase this coming week if possible.
