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.

Spring(ish) Trips



Today we are packing up for a long weekend at Copper Mountain; looking forward to family time, as well as a change of pace and scenery.  Peter and I spent 11 days at Copper last January for our (belated) anniversary gift and absolutely loved it!  We often talked about how much we looked forward to doing family ski trips, and we're setting out just over a year later on our first one! We're going to tag team ski while one of us stays with Aida, but we're excited to get out even a little bit this winter.  Peter has observed several times how glad he is that Aida will turn 3 in November, just in time for the 2012 season :)

March is shaping up to be a busy but super fun month.  My good friend Kelsey is visiting from Boston for a few days, I absolutely love watching my friends meet Aida for the first time!  And I love having visitors (hint hint).  It's hard to believe that Kels and I met almost SEVEN years ago as little freshman at TU!  Then Aida and I are headed to Cinci for a week at the end of the month, 25th - 31st.  I know we are really looking forward to time with Oma, Opa, Aunt Linnea and Uncle Koert...and I suspect the feeling is mutual :)  I'll leave you with a few pictures of beautiful Copper, as well as some of my future cooking assistant...
This view just 1.5 hours from our house...love CO!
