Three years and four months back this heart-braking young beautiful boy changed our lives :o)

A few months ago we found out he is on the Autism spectrum.... Well, for weeks I did not sleep or eat!! I tried to convince the doctors they were wrong by calling them, showing them my son and EVERY other possible thing I could think of!!

Finally I got to terms with it... I read 16 books about Autism and how to deal with "it" - read everything I possible could find on the internet.....

Now - after this time has passed I can smile when I think back... (have called the doctors and apologized for this strange behavior which obviously they are used to :)

I finally saw Alexander again as "he is" - a perfect little boy that needs different things then his brothers... BUT OMG how much his small steps makes us happy...!

We did change many things in his/our lives - what we eat, how we look at things, how we talk to him....... hm... almost everything.... but things are getting back to normal, except what we eat...

Conclusion..... Difficult times make you look at life from a different "angle" and make you learn to appreciate things that maybe you took as granted before....

Alexander has taught me soooo many things - and I absolutely love him with all of my heart... to me this little guy is PERFECT...!

(his autism makes it hard for him to be around new things and people... he does not speak as he should but slowly he is learning. He does not accept people until he is very used to them BUT... he understands far more then he should, draws far better then he should for his age... knows all the letters AND makes us smile all the time because of his GREAT sense of humor!!!))

Gone fishing....

Without shoes and all the gear!! Well - he actually got through this day without falling in the water which can not be said about his 6 years old brother :o)

Boys will be boys!!

This was taken after midnight last weekend on a small trip we took.... After 3 hours of fishing, running around (the 2 smaller ones) they finally got those 2 minutes a part and they tried to convince me and the rest of us that these actually are huge fishes LOL :o)

My small fisherman :o)

I have to say....

Today I went to buy some red vine and the lady (a very intelligent looking may I add) asked me for some identification ..LOL she did not belive I was over 20 years old...!!!!

I AM STILL SMILING ;o)

Well - I have started breathing normally again... Almost done working on all the shootings from last year!!! yehey!

This picture was taken by Arngrímur, my 12 years old - taken on New Years eve, as we were dancing around our house :o) btw... the last picture taken from me last year (the year I turned 19 bwahahaha)...

As for my little exhibition - already sold a few pictures from it, thereof 2 today - so although the financial part is not that great in Iceland these days I am not going to complain!!!

Will drag my friends out for some picture taking soon - have not seen any Aurora lights here the past few weeks but hopefully soon...

Last but not least - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU and thanks for all your visits and great comments!!!

Can´t sleep :o)

So I made this for comparison of my sons beautiful eyes :o)

The funny thing is that their eyes do almost have the same color... Although Kristins Logi´s eyes appear to be brown (as mine) - but he has a little blue-ish spot on the upper 1/4th of his left eye (right on the picture)... His eyes started to turn brown-ish around 3 years old.. Alexander has bigger eyes then his brothers and a little darker - maybe they will turn brown also (LOL I am trying to find some resemblance to me in them). And Arngrímur has these little brown spots in his eyes - cute :o)

OH MY - going to bed :o)

Feel like guessing who is who :o)

My big beauty...
