Happy Syttende Mai! It’s the 17th of May. Norwegian Independence Day. It is also my parent’s 33rd wedding anniversary today and we have celebrated in the past with Norwegian wedding cake being my mom’s family is full-blooded Norwegian heritage. My friends that live in other parts of the country don’t necessarily have such a strong tie to the their heritage. But on the prairies of North Dakota we are not that removed from our ancestors coming over on the boat to the US 100+ years ago and settling here. If you ask my World War II veteran Grandpa Sonny, he would say he is Norwegian even though he is also a proud American! So…even though I have never been to Norway but hope to someday and I speak all of this in Norwegian “Jeg snakker litt Norsk”, Happy Syttende Mai and more importantly Happy Anniversary to my parents, Fred and Jane. Now on to a week of baby pictures…
How cute! she is growing so quickly and those dimples are to die for!! Love it!
