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.

Zelia's 2nd Birthday
Although the day before we left Boston we had a large brunch with friends and family to say goodbye and celebrate Zelia's birthday early, we had a perfectly lovely birthday on her birthday here in Skagastrond.
Zelia and I made cookies from Emita's cookbook, very similar to Odi cookies and I made a skyr cake. Johanna and her children, Gulli and Birta came and they all just played and played in the kitchen, with her balloons, it was perfect. Gulli and Birta are 9 year old twins and like so many Icelandic children just love to play with younger kids which is SO nice. Perfect 2 kids for the second birthday was just right.
The rest of the pictures are just from playing around the house and outside, making cookies, hallah, playing in water, getting ready for Shabbat and other daily chores.
