We have a lot to be thankful for. Tony and Bobbie paid a quick visit in the summer. Then Tony and David headed to Bath for a Lynch reunion with Paul and his tribe. Camilla and Andy looked after us beautifully.
Eirikur is a games master, steering the family through ever more intricate board games. We love it!
He has a job and concurrently works on his art skills, adding to his portfolio. Stephanie feels very much like part of the family. They and friends took a grand tour of Europe together, ending in Italy and the eternal city. They absorbed so much culture and art - it was an excellent trip judging by the photos.
Sandra has her heart and head set on horses. This year a dark and handsome stranger found his way into her heart. Þrymur frá Koulsey is his name and Sandra holds the papers to prove it.This industrious young lady brought herself a horse! She is also into showing dogs and is foster mum to Bragi the Afghan hound. Sandra revisited “her”horse farm, Der Windhof, outside Vienna in Austria and travelled with an Icelandic delegation in a youth culture congress in Mumbai India in the New Year. Their show was a great success, featuring folk songs and dance with a modern arrangement.
Dr Rebekka graduated from medical school this year and begins her “kandidates” year. Well done Rebekka, and although its does not feel like being close to the end, this is a massive milestone. Another massive milestone in life is buying ones own place, which is what Guðbjörn and Rebekka did this autumn. They will be spending their first Christmas in their own home this year. Congratulations! Rebekka has been doctoring in the north of Iceland, doing emergency and accident work, and research, which is funded by a grant she won earlier in the year. Also Rebekka has been seen eating tofu.
Anna has returned to full time work having been declared clear of cancer by the doctor. She been able to enjoy travelling to Geneva, Copenhagen and Brussels. Anna has also been spending time with her sister, who is on her own journey battling cancer.
At has been a year full of great moments and achievements. We are looking forward to the holidays, Christmas and New Year, when we can remember friends and family.

Anna went on her first salmon fishing trip with a group women who have been through similar experiences. David had the grill ready on her return, but you should have seen the one that got away!
Kiddi, Anna´s nephew got married this year and that was a great event. The highlight of the year was the arrival of a new family member in Copenhagen. This little baby girl is always smiling and was christened in Iceland this autumn. Her name is Anna Dís and her aunty Anna is as proud as punch.

During the year David continues coaching, painting, and teaching along side his work at the Icelandic Customs. Red Cross work takes up time but progress in being made. However, this year David decided that the time had come to hang up his boots and retire from rugby. The highlight of the year was a trip to Australia, where he met up with Kieron. Together they went surfing. Great trip and great fun!
