Experiences of a Jewish family living first in Isafjordur and then in Skagastrond, Iceland. In September 2008, my husband,our 7 month old daughter, Zelia, and I came to Isafjordur. Jumping in with both feet, we have discovered not only a beautiful, but warm and welcoming place. Now an employee of the Marine Research Institute studying seals and lumpfish, we are thrilled to be back in Iceland! This time we brought our dog Jack and in August we welcomed Lazer into our lives.

Patterns
Zelia LOVEs to play with these mats and beads....this is what she made the other day. Took me a moment to understand. :)

longer days
Wow, it is just mind boggling how quickly we get the light back here. This morning Zelia slept in until 9 (we had a late night last night)and there was already light outside. It isn't pitch black out until about 8pm at this point. Wild. Exhilarating. Relieving.
Feels good.
Also feels good that about 60 women from Skagastrond have signed up and have been attending our health intensive. Tuesday - Pilates, Wednesday - circuit training, tonight - weights. Next week? A whole new schedule!
check out the pictures from the first day!

Lazer is 6 motnhs old, Zelia is sick and Jacob goes to London
The 3 year appointment was very sweet and I was especially proud of Zelia and her self awareness. Sigga was sitting with her and asking her questions. She was being very shy and not answering. I finally asked Zelia if it would be better if Jacob, Lazer and I waiting outside of the room and she said 'yes'. We left and she stayed happily talking to Sigga. Sigga did tell me that Zelia answered her only in English, Sigga spoke only Icelandic. At one point she pointed to pictures and asked Zelia to repeat after her, for ex. stór bolli and Zelia would answer big ball. when she was finished Lazer had his 6 month check-up, but the vaccination hadn't arrived so we will go back.
I also chatted with the doctor...I have been having headaches since he was born, 6 months, so we will take some blood tomorrow and see if anything comes up.
