Thomas 17

Seen this picture before? Yep, almost the same one, only one year after. Thomas is 17, which means Pondus is seven, both still going strong.

Waking up with gifts and cookies is pretty much standard procedure in this house, but there was no party in the afternoon this time. Too busy, so the celebration was today instead. Farmor, Farfar and all the Sviland people came over for Turkey dinner, needless to say that we're all still stuffed!

Reb in Minnesota


I went to Minnesota for two weeks at the beginning of November. All six of us kids were there and it was amazing to see the whole gang together again. Here are lots of pictures from the trip.

Orange is the color of the season and here are Cornell, Patti and Grandma modeling a few of the seasons jackets.

We had a few days of snow and here are Mardee and Mom on a short walk in the early winter wonderland.
Mardee and Grandpa out in the snow.
Here are Conner and Mardee getting ready for a walk. Conner handles the cold weather rather well for coming from sunny Califorina just for deer season. Mardee did quite well also, considering she has been in Key West for half her life!


Tony, Dad and Bill out in the woods wondering where all the deer are. We had several beautiful days up there. The boys were out hunting every day and caught and gave away several deer.



Here is Dad with one of the many deer caught this season.

Back inside the house, the old (literally) Cecilia crew is together again fr a group photo. We had a photo taken in the mid 80's that we tried to reconstruct. We had several takes and this is the best one of them all.

Reb, Tony, Bill, Cecilia, Mardee and Raymond.

Daniel is going to school in MN now and he came up two weekends while I was there. He is so much fun, here he is giving Grandma a hug.
Mike came and drove me to Tali's where I spent the night on my way home. Here are Tali and Mike at the Keene farm where Tali will be making her home. Big smile!!
Last but not least, here am I together withTali at their beautiful farm. What a place!
It was a great trip and so much fun to see everyone. I didn't get a picture of Carolyn or Darcy as I only had my phone camrea with me. I took lots of video and maybe some day I'll get time to put together a short video clip here as well. Untill then, thanks everyone for a great time.

Love Reb.
