Here we have gathered my extended Norwegian family. My cousin Wolfgang is not in the picture, but his wife and two  German-Norwegian off-springs are. Wolfgang and my American husband were the only ones drinking beer.

We had just returned from the neighborhood pizzeria and therefore continued with wine on the balcony. It was a relatively cool evening for August anyway. I see Lena rubbing her hands for warmth in the photo. We had to get some blankets soon after. So much for hot nights in August…

We had a wonderful time seeing each other again after more than five years.
