This weekend was my 10 year high school reunion. So, that was strange to think about. On Sunday, evening we had a nice get together with my old group of friends. Jessica Oliver was up visiting from Texas and it was good to see her. She probably had more fun seeing our new baby, Magnus. It was a good evening with burgers, hotdogs, and s’mores…and lots of small children running around.

We had a nice visit from Ruth’s cousin, Suzanne.She came down from Redmond to see a friend in Portland and had time to stop by. It was good to see her and Magnus seemed to enjoy her visit.

A sleeping Magnus is a happy Magnus… in general. Here he is in his new bouncy chair. He is using the “calming vibrations” setting.

Magnus seems to like tummy time, so long as he doesn’t have something else planned, like eating or sleeping. He is getting much better at holding his head up and controlling where it goes.

Today was an eventful day. Magnus took his first trip across state lines. We did a little shopping in Oregon and got Magnus a bouncy chair. We also got this set of Duplos that has a block for every letter in the alphabet. I though it was neat how we could spell “Magnus Thor,” because none of the letters repeat. Then I just kept adding pieces to hold his name together, and eventually used the whole set. This is what I ended up with. Ruth says it reminds her of some sort of Magical Mystery Tour Bus. Ruth also made Cheese Danishes, and they were awesome.

Happy 3 weeks Magnus!
One of the things Magnus likes to do is push himself around with his legs. Sometimes this leaves him in some odd positions. Though he does seem to enjoy being upside down on occasion.

As wet weather continues here in the Northwest, we are still seeing rivers rise. Though nothing is really in danger, thanks largely in part to our system of damns, it is still interesting to see the high water. This is Salmon Creek, but now it is more like a lake.

Happy Birthday, Natalie!
Our second trip to Farmor’s house. Else is Danish, and in Denmark, grandparents are referred to as “Mom’s mom” or “Dad’s mom.” So Else is Dad’s (Far) mom (Mor). She is happy to let us come over and do laundry because then she gets to play with Magnus. Magnus also got to hang out with Uncle Anton. We know it’s only a matter of time before Anton gets Magnus hooked on Star Wars like he did with Daniel.
We took Magnus to church for the first time today. We visited Dana’s home ward and let the ward members there ogle over Magnus. He did fairly well for his first time. Next week we’ll be going to our own ward.
