This park has a community garden, which Jonatan and Fridtjof are happy to participate in. It has some great harvestables they're missing in their garden.
Sigurd has made quite a few new acquaintances today, and had a lot of fun.
Fridtjof heads home with the children at nightfall, but Jonatan stays a little longer when his father shows up. They haven't talked in a while!
The next big thing happening is Anna growing up to a school child. She has the whiz kid aspiration.
Quite a bit has happened with the house lately. They moved all the fruit trees to a new orchard in front of the barn, which they are almost done renovating.
They've built a greenhouse for most of their herbs and flowers, and a new entrance on the main house.
The new entrance area doesn't have much furniture yet, so it's a great place to work on school projects.
A serious conversation between the two youngest family members.
P.S.: Imagine Jonatan and Fridjof's farm when Seasons arrives!!!!! I can't wait to get them a proper greenhouse and have autumn colors in their neighborhood.
The Selnes family are totally settled in the new apartment now. Kimi is still staying home with Jesper most days, and painting whenever she feels like it.
Lennart is coming home from school in a horrible mood. On days when his mother is very present in his mind, school drains him of all his energy.
On these days he's not happy about having to help take care of his brother.
Another night when he's out with Roxie, they run into some Renegades at the park. There is a bit of confrontation, but Lennart doesn't take the bait when Max Villareal is playing tough with him. When they turn to leave, Lennart and Morgan exchange a look of friendly curiosity.
Roxie seems to have interpreted Lennart and Morgan's exchange of smiles as flirting, and she is grumpy with him for the whole rest of the evening.
Winnie is also with them, and she needs some attention too. They play pirate ship for a while - there are plenty of fun things to do in this park.
When they're about to go home, Morgan shows up again. She's a lot more friendly now that she's not with the rest of the Renegades, and they talk for a bit. She seems nice!
Lennart is in a much better mood nowadays, and always comes home cheerful from school.
He's started exercising with the weights in their gym room. Although it will take a while before he's as strong as grandma Kimi
He's started spending more time with Morgan, and hardly ever sees Roxy any more.
They're basically dating now, although nothing physical has happened between them yet. Lennart needs to take these things slow as he's obviously been vulnerable ever since his mother died.
Kimi doesn't appreciate the news of her wife fighting, so she insists Tara take a day off from her hectic job to spend a day at the spa in Windenburg and hopefully get some inner harmony.
Ah, they really needed this.
But Kimi is so tired from all the toddler care, she falls asleep in the mud bath.
They get the sauna to themselves, and can't resist the opportunity for some steamy romance
In the Kalani-Kauffmann family there are now two energietic toddlers. Sigrid is so cute! Since Pedro was adopted right before Sigrid was born, they are quite close in age.
The two toddlers love listening to Jonatan's stories.
And they love being read to.
Pedro can already run around easily and build towers with the blocks, but Sigrid is just starting to learn basic needs. Fridtjof enjoys teaching her, she's always so happy and cheerful.
Fridjof has a new hobby: Flower arranging! He's installed himself in the greenhouse with everything he needs to make beautiful arrangements. They grow all their flowers inn there so they can survive all year around.
He's completely obsessed with this activity and can often stay in the greenhouse for the whole afternoon.
The children enjoy playing chess in the moonlight.
And trying out the new swings that their parents have installed.
Since it's still warm out, the toddlers are able to play with some water outside.
Sigrid loves the kiddie pool!
While Fridtjof watches the toddlers in the yard, Jonatan takes the opportunity to have a quiet morning by the lake behind their lot. The cat has joined him - probably in the hopes of getting some fish.
When the children come home from school, they immediately start talking about their new scouting activities. Sigurd even has a uniform.

And meet the other new family member, Pedro! They wanted more children, so they adopted this little guy.
Sigurd hasn't quite warmed up to his new little brother yet.
But Solveig is already a great baby sitter.
They've built a greenhouse for most of their herbs and flowers, and a new entrance on the main house.

His belly is growing quickly, and they're all so excited!
It's not as easy now to run after the toddler in the yard.
But he can still do all kinds of work around the farm.
Solveig has brought so much joy to the family! They still miss Pernille, but they couldn't have been happier with their new best friend.
Anna is an active and curious girl who likes exploring the neighborhood and meeting new friends.
She also likes mentally challenging games, so she and Fridtjof play a lot of chess.
Anna is already in love with her new sister.
Lennart is coming home from school in a horrible mood. On days when his mother is very present in his mind, school drains him of all his energy.
On these days he's not happy about having to help take care of his brother.
But he loves Jesper more than anything.
It certainly helps.
He's even started to date a little. Here he's at the art center with Roxie.
Roxie is a sweet and funny girl he's met at school and is starting to like very much.
Roxie seems to have interpreted Lennart and Morgan's exchange of smiles as flirting, and she is grumpy with him for the whole rest of the evening.
The grandmothers are up too, so they have a pleasant family breakfast.
Then Lennart takes Jesper to the park to play with him.
Best friends!
When they're about to go home, Morgan shows up again. She's a lot more friendly now that she's not with the rest of the Renegades, and they talk for a bit. She seems nice!
Morgan is also at there, and she approaches to listen to him play.
They get talking afterwards, and find a seat in the cafeteria to get to know each other better.
They enjoy the conversation so much they decide to get a drink and stay a bit longer. Lennart is so glad to find someone he can easily talk to!

Also, Jonathan and Fridtjof's house is now available for download on the Gallery. My ID is the same as my nickname.
The large open spaces in their neighborhood is as good as any park to play fetch.
Lennart's brought Morgan home with him after school, and they're working on an electricity project together.
When they're done with the projects, they watch a movie. Then they hug goodbye before she leaves.
Tara's had enough too.
You don't get on the wrong side of this old lady!
She wins the fight, of course. Let's hope this teaches him a lesson.
Ah, they really needed this.

Lennart on the other hand, has some way to go...
The two lovebirds stay behind for a while after the other friends leave.
And finally! They have their first kiss at last

The entire second floor is furnished now, and Sigurd has a proper piano to practice on.
Both of them also enjoy the outdoors like their parents.
So the family is quite large now, and Jonatan and Fridjof have decided that four children should be enough.
And fall has finally come to Windenburg
Jonatan has some new pets! He bought two beehives, one of them is inside the greenhouse and the other is outside by the herb garden.
So far it's a very sunny fall with clear skies, so the children do their homework and school projects outside and don't need to wear jackets yet.
He's completely obsessed with this activity and can often stay in the greenhouse for the whole afternoon.

They wander around the island for a bit and take pictures.
Then they set up their camp overlooking the sea.
It's very dark now, the sun sets quickly this time of year.
