The opening scene was so special: Mathias teaching Ivar to smell the air for signs of the coming spring.

My husband and I have been watching your utube videos since before Ivar was born! We have watched his birth, take his first steps, and all the love, and guidance you pour into your beautiful child! Your peaceful, beautiful, surroundings feed our souls, and spirit! You are all three such a light on this planet, that we definitely need in these times! What a special family, and a very special little boy! His light shines brightly! Thanks for sharing your utube videos, teaching us to respect the earth we live on, and showing us the way we are all meant to live. Also, we love when you put what Ivar is saying in English. He is so very smart, and learning more everyday! Much love, light, and many blessings to your beautiful family!! Oh, and Happy Birthday Ivar!! 🎉❤ Please never stop these utube videos, we love them! Love, and light, Denise ( from the USA)

Very fine windows and nice thin glazing bars to let in the maximum light, the reason why the hinges on the curved window are stagered is so the screws do not meet each other and split the middle rail.

It’s wonderful to finally see the windows. They’re absolutely beautiful and a level of craftsmanship that is uncommon.

When you look out those windows, there is a lot of support coming from them! We were all happy to help you achieve this goal.

It´s so fantastic that the windows are coming now and they look very nice. Ivar is a child who can live free life in the countryside and learn things naturally. We all hope that the spring comes soon and the sun is shining and warming us. In the Nordic countries have had very long and cold winter so we need the sun. Thank you for sharing your lives. Best regards from Finnish Lapland!

It is so nice to watch your videos and know there is a place where life is calm, far from all the city stress and noices 🙂

Finally....the windows! You both look so happy! I cant wait to see the cabin progress! ✌️❤

The windows look beautiful! I also enjoyed Tova's smile when she saw them. I saw in that a happiness I see in my wife when things start to move along on big projects lol. Cant wait to see Ivar on his trampoline as I know he will LOVE it! WE have always gotten our kids one when they were his age!

The joy that I feel for you fills my heart. To see you so happy with your new home going forward!

I smiled throughout the entire video. Thank you.

I also love the opening conversation between Ivar and his daddy! "The woodpeckers are drumming ". Very poetic!! So excited for the arrival of the windows!!! We are delighted to send a little monetary gift towards Ivars birthday!! He is such a delightful person!! When you spoke of manifesting an early Spring, my heart agreed and energy rushed through my body causing a feeling like goosebumps (but without the bumps!😄). This is how I know it is an agreed upon truth. I see (in my minds eye) your hearts rejoicing as there is no crisis and Spring comes early. Thank you for the video. It was lovely to see you all!! We love you! ❤~ Kelli (from Idaho, USA).

The windows are beautiful and worth waiting for. I feel proud to have contributed to them. Let's hope for and early spring!

The windows are beautiful. I have sent a small gift £ for Ivar for his birthday 🎉

You are giving your son the greatest 3 gifts: peace, health and connection to self. I am so in awe of your life 🖤

So the windows finally arrived and they look amazing. Can’t wait to see them in the house. This will give you a boost to work and finish the house this year. Loved seeing all the family enjoying time together. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Congratulations on getting these beautifully crafted windows! Also just to comment that your like wise beautiful husky dog is so calm, poised and even regal looking. He(she?) fits your family so well in that it reflects your steady, patient, solid and thoughtful character. Love your videos!

Visualizing an early spring! So happy that you ordered windows from a carpenter who works on the old houses. Gorgeous. Greetings from Florida US.

So happy for you all! What a wonderful family time and the excitement of the new windows - that are very beautiful! I can only imagine how excited you are to install them! Your🥰 video is very pretty - the fun times shared with the family! God bless you!!!

I love your channel and enjoy your video so much. The beautiful tranquility , peaceful and calmness of the environment.Little Ivan is truly having a good time and God's blessing always.

The beauty and authenticity captured in your videos makes me smile and tear up time and time again...stunning! There were 80 comments when I started reading them and I gave a thumbs up straight down the line because I shared the same feeling in every single one. Love from Michigan! XOXO

YAY! It’s time to celebrate that the windows have finally arrived 🎊 🎉

Ive been watching your videos for more than four years now. I really enjoy seeing you building stuff and cooking or making some dairy sub products as well. But mostly, seeing your child growing up with both parents at the same time, and learning very valuable skills from them since he was born! Love your channel! Best regards!

I can not believe Ivar is close to another birthday!❤❤❤❤

Such a lovely video. Your son is thriving❣️

Californian here, born and raised, i would trade it all for your love and life❤congratulations on a life well lived

What a beautiful episode. You are truly blessed.

It is nice to see how much your son is playing outside with snow, he is so, so happy boy! ❤ Here, in Italy we almost don't see any snow in the flats, last year's. Wow, the gift for your son is simply beautiful! 🎉

We do love to watch your videos Mathias. My wife loves to watch your livestock and of course Marva. The windows look beautiful, I know you are both super excited to see them completed and are even more excited to get them put into the house. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Aww the beauty 😊❤❄️ thank you Mathias, Tova and Ivar 🤗❤️

Yay!!! Windows!!! You two look so happy! I hope that everything goes smoothly with the house now. And here's to the trampoline! Bounce on!💐 Spring flowers soon.

Oh, my goodness! I can't believe how much Ivar looks like Tova. For some reason, at the beginning of the video, when you are carrying him, his face looks exactly like Tova. I just hadn't seen it before! Wow! People always say a child looks like so-and-so, but this is a remarkable likeness. Thanks for the videos. I always enjoy them.

Oh I love the opening with you both smelling for spring. What a beautiful moment with your child ❤

I loved the opening sequence to this video. Sending you my early spring prayer right now ❤

You asked for it, you've got it. I'm praying and asking God to bless you with an early Spring! Blessings from Albany, Oregon.

The windows look amazing! What a patient process it turned out to be. There should be a special surprise for Ivar! I will be happy to help! 👍🎂

The windows are Beautiful. I loved that you were teaching Ivar to smell the air. Thank you for sharing.

Oh the windows are beautiful! Congratulations. You have waited so long, now one of your dreams has "manifested"!😊

The windows are so pretty, worth the wait.

Always my favourite family. A joy to watch their journey through the highs and lows of life......

Beautiful to see your families together and the anticipation of Spring and the windows!!! Celebrating with you.

That's going to be an awesome home for your (growing?) family! Windows are stunning. Baby is now a big boy.

The windows look fantastic--well worth the long wait. I am glad that the weather is breaking and moving towards Spring. You have had a very intense winter. I look forward to sharing the Spring with you and the many accomplishments that will come with warmer weather.

They say early spring this year... I love your channel always a joy to watch. The windows look very well made, beautiful. God's blessings

01:35 Ivar breaking trail for his mom😂🎿 Those windows are just beautiful craftsmanship🪟 Hoping for an early Spring for you guys!🐦🌞🦋🐝🌷 Take care Mathias, Tova & Ivar 😊✌🏻

Praying early spring for you and yours and giving thanks for the delivery of your lovely windows. Thank you for sharing your stories through your beautiful videos.

So glad you have got your windows and you can continue with your log home, perfect timing for spring.

The windows look beautiful! How good it's to see your progress. Congratulations 🥰👏

CONGRATULATIONS!! The windows are beautiful!! I'm excited to see more!! The trampoline sounds like a wonderful idea!! Thank you for sharing and stay safe!! Best wishes from Kentucky, USA!!🙏❤

I was so excited to see the windows arrive! It's been a long wait, but well worth it. Now there will be much incentive to work on the house again! Always love watching Ivar learning new skills (He's better with skis than I am!) and playing in the snow. I am wondering if Dad will be playing as much on a new trampoline as son will be! LOL!!! (By the way, I was the diver on my swim team in high school way back in the early 70's, and our coach had us practice using a trampoline, too, so I totally get it!)

Love that intro. Mathias learning Ivar about spring coming. So beautiful and charming. I believe that when he will be adult, he will watch these videos one day and they will bring back memories of perfect childhood that will warm his heart. So happy for sun returning to your place, now I understand the importance of Solstice holidays. And new windows looks great! Can not wait for watching install them. Good luck! 💪🏻♥️

I am so glad you finally got your windows! Wishing you early spring.❤

So happy that your windows have arrived, will be so good to see them in, I'm sure you will be feeling the same.

Mathias,Tova the windows are beautiful!...I love that vintage rural style!😊,so i think you chose well...And I wish you the spring coming soon as well!😊

Oh, they are gorgeous! And so many! I hoped for the windows. I’m so glad you’ve decided to start with those. Can’t wait to see them in the house! So good to see you all enjoying the sun again :) Krösamaja kittens would be lovely and your birthdaygift-idea is great 😊 Thank you :)

Those windows are absolutely beautiful! You are so lucky to have been able to get them made for your home! I can't wait to see finished home!

FINALLY!!! The windows have come!! I was wondering if you would ever get them. I love how your family respects each other and nature. I have watched you for quite some time. May God continue to bless you and bring you an early Spring.

Awe ya, whoop-whoop! a New video, YES!! So nice to see a new video from Talasbuan!! We are from South-Africa and it so nice to see your block every week.🎉🎉 Love it! Wow and the windows! Terrible to wait so long for them. Now something can start happening with the new ( old ) home😂😅👏🏻👏🏻. Maybe you can move in the new home before the next winter Mathias!! Tova will be so happy. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🙏🏻 Thank you for the video, the nature are breath taking, gorgeous. Big hug to Ivar. Sending happyness to all of you.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ce!berating with you! The joy of getting your new windows! Both of your faces light up just talking about them! Yay! As always, your videos communicate so much more than you can know! The beauty of simple living. Amazing! Thanks once again!

I have been watching on and off since Ivar was born. Lot the link for a few years, but now have found you again. I would love to come to your country, but my husband was born and brought up in the northern UK and can remember the snow and now living in Australia doesn't like the snow. I am very impressed with your building skills and living off the grid. Well done.

What a glorious video. Loved the snow benches and bbq. The windows are almost as beautiful as Ivar! Roll on spring. Here in England we've had the wettest February in 130 years. I prefer snow!

The windows are gorgeous and it is so nice to see excitement on your faces! I will help you pray for early spring and completion of your new home. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors and a very Happy Birthday to Ivar!

So happy for you!❤

I am so happy for all of you@ I have watched you since before I varsity was born. He is not a baby anymore, but a handsome little boy! God bless all of youbincluding Malva and all of your other animals! Spring will come soon. Love from the USA😊

You are such a Beautiful, Special family. I have been with you from the start and will forever be a subscriber. Eventually your house will be built - with gorgeous windows, floor, insulation, fireplace and many, many Toys! What pleasure and pride you will feel. I will feel it too xxx

Beautiful ❤! Thank you for sharing xxx

Happy almost birthday, dear Ivar! I will never forget your birthday, because you share with my oldest girl. She wishes you a very happy birthday too. Congratulations on the window arrival! I'm sure there is a huge relief to move forward with your project. Warmest wishes for an early spring. 😊

Yay! The windows have arrived, they are sooooo beautiful! I can't wait to see them up in the house! 🙂 That intro is so wonderful, filled with beautifully captured moments and music. Happy birthday again to Ivar! 💙💙💙💫 Lots of hugs to the three of you from Montreal

Well worth the wait for the Windows :-) I think you are doing a great job in the build. Carefully thinking and re-thinking to get everything the way you want it. To last many life times, and generations to come. How incredibly exciting. :-) - from British lady , in America.

I love how your dog is always sitting in the background and is never far behind when you are out and about in the forest. As for your cat, if you want to breed her, just wait for her to go into 'heat.' When she starts crouching down and doing her 'howl' to indicate she's in heat, then find a male that hasn't been neutered. Do you have a site like NextDoor there? Post in your village there to see if anyone has a non-neutered male. I can't believe I'm even typing this since here in the US we have way too many cats and the shelters are all full. p.s. Those wood windows look AMAZING!!!

Such beautful moments you captured for us 🥰 Such a pleasure to watch at the end of my busy day... Thank you 💝

The windows are beautiful. Happy Birthday to your son. I grew up in a lot of snow in Labrador, so I enjoy watching your videos. Your little boy is adorable and you are a lovely couple. ❤

The windows are beautiful; thanks for sharing! You will figure out the best way to proceed. That insulation is very interesting. Here in Canada, we use mostly fibreglass insulation but there is also foam board insulation. We have the very cold winters, too. We don’t get as much snow anymore near our mountains. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

What a collective THRILL from all of us for you! What beautiful windows.

The windows are beautiful! I'm so happy about your home coming together! So sweet to see Ivar grow up!

This is so beautiful, and full of heart. Thank you for sharing. You brighten my day.

I sent a long msg in patreon but wanted to say how perfect the music was for this brilliant episode 😊. (I'm long winded Dandy Deb in Patreon 😉)

Congratulations 🎉 truly a reason to celebrate 🎊 I’ve been praying 🤲 for these Windows to be finished and delivered!Happy Dance 💃

Wow! Gorgeous windows and worth the wait, especially when I see how happy the make you! Can't believe there are no farm cats -always remember childhood summers in Sweden spent on a farm and being surrounded by kittens!!!

Yay! The windows, the beautiful windows have arrived.

The windows look beautiful! Everyone looks well even after such a difficult Winter. Manifesting an early Spring for you 🤞🏻 And happy early birthday to Ivar 🎉

Your new traditional style windows look really beautiful. A lovely video and good to see you all enjoying the sun. I hope spring comes soon for you. Ivar is making such a lovely young boy. Hopefully he will be able to have his birthday trampoline 🤞🏻❤️

❤And the birds are singing

I love this channel!! I've learned a lot and enjoy everything you guys do.

Beautiful windows - they will sure serve the needs of your house and family well. It has been early spring here for weeks, so I "sent" it to you too - so Ivar will soon be able to see the busy spring life of the birds. The first storks have been here for more than a week, although they usually arrive after mid-March. The fruit trees are blooming (hopefully without the threat of a late frost). All the best to you all...

Beautiful video. So glad to hear that your windows came in.🇨🇦🥰😊

I love watching your channel. Funny thing is I live like you do only in a different country. Wish I could see your beutifull place with my own eyes.Good morning from Canada.

A little something to help finance Ivar's birthday trampoline. He's a beautiful child inside and out. Happy Birthday 🎉 😊 ❤

THOSE WINDOWS ARE GORGEOUS!!!!😊😊

Such beautiful windows. And the trampoline is a great idea , it will be lot of fun the the whole family for many years to come. Yes, high divers is the correct term.

Here's to a warm spring and a hot summer.

Congratulations: Your windows look really nice and I love those natural materials! I wish you an early spring, of course!! I will pray for that! 🙏☀️🌷

Congratulations on getting your windows! That is terrific news! Best of luck with finishing the inside of the house. And, roll on spring!

The windows! Amazing! ✨

Hooray....so happy for you guys...Ivar is so precious!!

BEST DAY EVER!!!👍👍👍😂🙌❤

Thank you for your excellent videos. Good luck with the house.

The windows!!! Beautiful!

Beautiful video again and off course I donated something for Ivar's birthday. You are such beautiful people. A big hug from me from the Netherlands ❤❤❤

The windows are beautiful. I'm manifesting an early spring for you folks. We had a very strange and mild winter here in Northern Ontario but still I'm longing for the green along with you.
