Thank you Mariana!

Mariana has been working on a new flyer for the Fruity Keiko shop here in Oslo. This is the final version and i think that is it so cute! On the bottom if this image is too small you can see photos of each of the FK's. Nice touch!

Frozen Fjord!


Last week while Nick Brown was here in Oslo visiting us, we went on a shivvery walk down to the Fjord. Now i kind of thought that, ok the fjord freezes, but probably in places where the water is still, and no boats go by. Not so! The Fjord is frozen all over the place. Of course it was BELOW ZERO, and had been for a while. There is ice all over the place. You can see the sea guls sitting on the ice. And we couldn't break though it with big snow chunks no matter how hard we threw them. Apparently the city of Oslo has installed underwater pipes around the very edges closest to the buildings, filled with warm water, to keep the ice away from essential stuff.

It made for a beautiful afternoon, (of course the sun helped!) snow over everything, ice and blue sky. I guess that is why people come here on vacation. (or even to live.)

Introducing....HAM!

Posted by Picasa

We have a new member of our family! No, it's not Nick Brown! Nick was visiting us last week from England, and was the inspiration for this video, filmed by August. It's always more fun when more kids are involved!

We have actually had Ham for about 2 months. He is from Oslo, and was 36 days old when we got him. He is a good boy, and always eats his supper plus any other chewable items you leave in his cage! He tended to bite a bit when we first got him but he has now figured out what is food and what is hand. Although, one time he did actually bite a piece off of Jim's computer mouse. He recognized the interloper!

Ham is all white and loves dates and walnuts. August has to clean out his cage every 3 days. We thought about taking him out into the snow to see how he would like it but were a bit worried that he might dissapear! We love Ham!
