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.

A long time coming....

We heart the Baby Bjorn :)


Ok, this is slightly ridiculous. I have had this blog set up for MONTHS but have just now published it because I had no clue how to start it. How does one make a smooth transition into blogging? Hmmm...well, I’ll start with an Aida update since that’s probably why most people will want to read this thing :)

Hard to believe that sweet Aida is already 12 weeks old! She’ll be 3 months on Sunday - how appropriate for Valentines day. Peter and I love watch her grow and change daily. It’s pretty amazing how she can wake up doing something she’s never done before. Current favorites are: crazy lip smacking/sucking/raspberry-blowing noises; beginning to interact with her environment on a tactile level - will play with toys set within arms reach, loves to touch Daddy’s face; sitting in the Bumbo (the BEST! so much easier to take around the house when I need to do things); no longer happy to lay around, would rather be sitting upright; strong girl - when propped up on our legs or the Boppy, she will curl forward in a little crunch; when you give her your thumbs she pulls to a sit, when you raise your thumbs she comes to a stand and will hold it for quite a while!
I am trying to decipher some type of schedule for her right now. I’ve read both ends of the spectrum (Sears and Babywise) and feel that somewhere in the middle but a bit closer to Babywise is going to be best for us. I can tend to be overly literal when it comes to these types of things. My hope and prayer is that I will remember the principles that will be best serve Aida and our family - and forget the rest :)

Other exciting news:

Slightly over winter (aren’t we all). Bring on the warmth.

I started running again. Woof. Pregnancy-induced muffin-top. Double woof.

Delphie keeps getting out of the yard despite our totally fenced in property. I am nervous that the tree-hugging dog-loving hippies of Manitou are going to report us as negligent owners. People really do things like that here in Colorado. It is illegal to “own” a dog in Boulder. That is inhumane. You are merely a “caretaker”.

The final season of LOST has started. I am excited all day Tuesday to watch it. Seriously.

That’s it for now. Life in general (or specifically blow-out laden baby laundry) is calling.
