once upon a time a boy saw a girl.  he asked her to go get lime bars.  she said yes.  he was a viking and she was dutch.  but this didn’t stop them.  eventually they fell in love, got married, became the H’s, bought a house in the mountains and had a little dutch-viking hybrid. 


then they decided that some sort of modern narritive of life in general [l.i.g], preferably in the digital format, may be in order. 


(little dutch-viking hybrids tend to make these things necessary.)


so here is an attempt to capture l.i.g in all it’s wonderful, wild, blessed, busy, changing, challenging gusto.  


frequency tbd.

Cincinnati Fall

Just got back from a wonderful 10-day trip to Cincinnati while Peter was elk hunting! It was full of family, friends, sickness and yummy food :)

Aida's first visit to Taylor University for Homecoming

Hanging out behind the west (best) side of Olson

The TU alumni of the fam (and Brother making a super mature face that clearly communicates that he will soon be a college graduate and actively seeking employment).

Senior picture (also resume worthy)

Linneous and Bella (my parents exchange student from China!)

Roomie (Jeane) and I in front of Grace Olson Hall, our former home :)

Someone got all tuckered out during a nice fall walk....and continued to sleep like that for 30+ minutes

Not too sure how she feels about the whole leaf pile thing....

...But Opa will make it all better :)

Silly girl

Alfalfa

TEETH!

We had a "faux birthday party" so Oma and Opa could celebrate with us too! Turning 11 months is a very big deal. Decorations courtesy of Bella. We dined on Aida favorites - homemade applesauce, mac and cheese, grilled chicken, and of course, cake!

We got to meet Bella's family all the way over in China and they were sweet enough to sing to Aida in Chinese!

Clearly someone is anxious to cut into the cake

I had been wanting to experiment with fondant to see if it was worth all the effort. It's not. But I do think my little ladybugs are pretty cute.

Happy girl munching on cake with Oma!
